DAY 03 (FRI)
JAIPUR
Legendary for the triumphs of its proud Rajputs, the city of victory, Jaipur,
is surrounded by rugged hills—each crowned by a formidable fort—and
beautiful palaces, mansions and gardens. Royal processions, in all their
splendour, garlanded these palaces and forts once.
You will notice a timeless quality to Jaipur's bazaars and its people. After
breakfast you will be taken to view Maharaja Mansingh’s 17 th century
masterpiece, Fort Amber that overlooks the Maota Lake.
Amber Fort has a sprawling complex of courtyards and halls. Its rooms are
adorned with beautiful paintings, precious stones and mirrorrs. Behold the
Sheesh Mahal or Hall of Mirrors, where a single lamplight reflects in many
mirrors, and lights up the entire room.
En-route to Amber is the Palace of Winds, otherwise known as Hawa
Mahal, known for its intricate pink sandstone carving and a beautiful view
of the city.
Lunch at City Hotel.
The city of Jaipur has many exquisite
palaces, courtyards and decorative art.
Walk to the adjacent Jantar Mantar or
Astronomical Observatory and you will
immediately notice that it was an
astronomical wonder for its time. Built by
Sawai Jai Singh, it makes accurate
predictions even to this day. Don’t miss
the opportunity to wander around the
local markets before completing your tour of this historical city.
In the evening join in for a royal dinner at the City Palace.
We usher you back as we then proceed to Sawai Madhopur, the land of the
famous Tiger Reserve, on an overnight journey.
