One of the most famous tourist cities in India for international and national travellers, ‘the pink city,’ Jaipur is the capital of Royal Rajasthan. Founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in AD 1727 and ruled by Rajputs for centuries, being grown as the first planned city, it is also home to a few UNESCO World Heritage sites like Jantar Mantar and Amer Fort. It has forts that have stood through wars and ravages of time, colorful bazaars, lip-smacking food, museums, and vibrant culture. Apart from these, it is home to some of the world’s exotic resorts. Where the old walled city still acts as an image of bygone years, the new city shows how Jaipur has developed itself with time.

You’d see people drooling over the infamous Pyaz kachori, Ghewar, and Dal Baati Choorma, playing classical music instruments on the streets, the beautiful City Palace and Hawa Mahal near the renowned local markets, and much more. Jaipur Tourism has always been on boom as people get a taste of traditions mixed with the western world. The best places to visit in Jaipur include Nahargarh Fort, Amer Fort, Chokhi Dhani, City Palace, Jaigarh Fort, Albert Hall Museum, and Jal Mahal. Your Jaipur sightseeing tour can also include less touristy places like Amrapali Museum, Patrika Gate, Gatore ki Chhatriyan, and an ancient cinema hall- Raj Mandir. Including these places makes a perfect Jaipur travel guide.

Being called as the pink city for years, Jaipur has a great story behind it. Back in 1876 when the Prince of Wales was on his India tour, maharaja Ram Singh painted the whole city pink. The color pink symbolizes hospitality and a warm welcome. Even today when you visit Jaipur, you’d feel the warmth of people towards the guests here. The best time to visit Jaipur is during winter when the sun hides behind the clouds, making it pleasant weather to explore the city.
