Jaipur
(Rajasthan)
Pink City
This picturesque capital of Rajasthan is royal in all ways, why they even have royalty that still lives in palaces! If you wish to spend the monies you too can hire out a royal palace and wed in its courtyard! Elephant rides are still quite common here as is camel trading. This is Jaipur, a spot on the Indian map where old customs, traditions and festivals are held in their true flavor.
The city itself is a m'nge of colors with brightly dressed locals standing out against the dull sands on one hand and the hues of pink that cover a few towering monuments on the other.
The city, when built was extremely well-planned, and some of its features are advanced for today?s day and age too. It still has a walled city and drainage lines that leave one stumped! This is a place that?s best explored on foot.
