DAY 06 (MON)
JAIPUR
Legendary for the triumphs of its proud Rajputs, Jaipur or, the city of
victory, is surrounded by the rugged Aravali hills—each crowned by a
formidable fort—and beautiful palaces, mansions and gardens. Royal
processions, in all their splendour, graced 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, the Amber Fort that overlooks the beautiful Maota Lake.
The Amber Fort has a sprawling complex of courtyards and halls. Its rooms
are adorned with beautiful paintings, precious stones and mirrors. Behold
the Sheesh Mahal or Hall of Mirrors, where a single lamplight reflects in
many mirrors, and lights up the entire room.
Enroute 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.
In the afternoon, you will visit the city of
Jaipur, famous for the City Palace. The
city 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.
We usher you back as we then proceed on an overnight journey to Agra
Dinner on board.
