Discover Jaipur

There are many elements to Jaipur, some expected and some not quite so! It is the capital of, and the gateway to, Rajasthan, but it is also one of India’s fastest growing cities, with a verve and vibrancy that is addictive. It is a city where modern technology and design rub shoulders with ancient monuments and traditions which showcase the wonderful juxtaposition of old meets new.

For the traveler it is the history and heritage they seek and the stories woven into its forts and palaces and monuments, the better known ones being the City Palace, The Amber Fort, The Palace of Winds and the Observatory but there are many more to discover. There are fascinating temples, both ancient and modern, where age old traditions take place. And its labyrinthian old town houses countless treasures with its bazaars, designers, street food and age old culture.
