Jaipur is the capital city of one of India's most colorful and vibrant states, Rajasthan. It is surrounded on all sides by rugged hills, crowned with forts & enclosed by embattled walls. Houses with latticed windows line the streets, their rose pink color lending enchantment to the scene which is almost magical at sunset. Places of Interest include Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds, a remarkable five storeyed building in pink splendor, the Amber Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and various other monuments from medieval times. This town is also famous for its semi- precious stones, gems & jewelery, & woolen carpets.

its

stopover
at
Jaipur
in
Rajasthan
-
the
land
of
Maharajas
,
magnificent
Palaces
and
impressive
forts.
Jaipur,
the
capital
of
Rajasthan,
was
founded
by
Maharaja
Jai
Singh
II
in
the
late
17th
century.
The
city
is
also
known
as
"The
Pink
City"
because
it
was
painted
pink
by
Maharaja
Man
Singh
II
when
the
Prince
of
Wales
visited
Jaipur
in
1876,
as
pink
is
considered
to
be
the
color
of
hospitality
and
ceremony
by
the
Rajputs.
Jaipur
still
retains
its
erstwhile
charm
and
is
an
amicable
blend
between
traditional
lifestyles
and
modern
ways.
Camels

Jaisalmer.
Founded by Rawal Jaisal in the twelfth century, Jaisalmer evokes a vivid picture of sheer magic and brilliance of the desert and is today one of Rajasthan's best-loved tourist destinations. Local color and warmth prevail over the inhospitable and forbidding terrain, imbuing the medieval town with a special magic. The yellow sandstone fort is an imposing sight, towering majestically over the city. The nearby shifting sand dunes of Sam remind you of Sahara Desert.
