It is Jaipur’s rich history and culture that have made it one of the three major tourist centres in the state.
Imposing forts, awe-inspiring palaces and exquisite temples are all there and plenty of them. Visit the Jaigarh and Amber Forts and catch the Amber sound and light show for a glimpse of the city’s history.
The City Palace and Jal Mahal are must-sees. There are also a number of gardens that are perfect for long walks in beautiful surrounds.
Getting there: Jaipur has its own airport with flights coming in from the larger Indian cities. National highways 8, 11 and 12 connect it by road and its railway station connects to most major cities and towns.
