JAIPUR DAY TOUR

“If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts,

has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.” - Max Mueller

ITINERARY

Your private tour begins at your Jaipur hotel at 8:30 am.

Jaipur, “The Pink City” is home to several fabulous forts and palaces. We'll stop at the Jal Mahal (Water Palace) on our way to Amer - home to our first and most romantic fort.

The grand Amer or Amber Fort, built by Raja Man Singh in the 1600’s, awaits our morning arrival. Walk the long way or try the caparisoned elephant ride to the main Sun Gate. The huge enclosure holds the stunning Palace of Mirrors (Sheesh Mahal), Hall of Public Audience (Diwan-e-Aam), the Hall of Private Audience (Diwan-e-Khas) and the innovative Sukh Niwas - which was air conditioned by using the wind that blew over water soaked reeds within the palace!

Tiger, or Nahargarh Fort stands on the edge of the Aravalli Hills over

looking sprawling Jaipur. Although smaller, the palace has wonderful views and impressive frescoes throughout.

Tea stop and light lunch en route to "The Pink City" where we will stop at the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds).

Further on, we explore the City Palace.

There is a wonderful museum and opulent palace rooms decorated with antique carpets and furniture. Parts are still inhabited by the royal family members.

Next is Unesco World Heritage Site Jantar Mantar. The site is a collection of stone, brass and masonry instruments that were used for astronomy and built following ancient Hindu sanskrit texts. It also has the world's largest stone sundial.
