Jaipur Heritage Tours-The Pink City


Jaipur is a tourist's delight. The city incurred its name, its foundations and its careful planning, to the great warrior - astronomer Maharaja Jai Singh II. Jaipur is known as Pink City as it was painted pink in honor of the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1876. It is an extremely colorful city, and in the evening light, the pink and the orange buildings exude a magical glow, which is complemented by the vibrantly attired Rajasthanis. Camel drawn carts are a passing street scene in Jaipur.

A part from the beautifully laid out gardens and parks, attractive monuments and marvelous heritage hotels, Jaipur's colorful bazaars (market) delights the tourist with its timeless beauty. Jaipur is famous for its semi- precious stones & elephant ride at 15th Century Amer fort Palace. Another interesting place to visit is the centuries-old world's largest sun dial at Jantar Mantar.
