Day 1
Delhi – Jaipur – Jaipur sightseeing
Early in the morning, you will be picked up from airport / railway station / hotel (soon after the
breakfast) and driven to Jaipur, popularly called as Pink City of Rajasthan. After five hours of
journey, reach the capital city to be transferred to the hotel to check in and relax for a while. Jaipur
enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the Aravalli hills. As soon as one enters into Jaipur city,
the change of scenery is immediate. Pink colored buildings and beautiful temples, hogging the
landscape of the city, bring a touch of romanticism in an atmosphere. A royal capital combining
exoticism and modernity, Jaipur is well worth an extensive exploration. Jaipur, the first planned city
of medieval India, owes its foundation to Maharaja Jai Singh II. Jaipur was divided into 9 squares, a
configuration inspired by the architectural principles of the Vedic era and respectful of the precepts
of Indian astrology.
Post lunch, proceed on for sightseeing tour of Jaipur that includes
City Palace ,
Hawa Mahal ,
Jantar Mantar ,
Govind Dev Ji Temple and local colorful market. City Palace, in possession of Kachhwaha
royal family, is now converted into a museum. Adjacent to the palace is located a solar observatory
known as ‘Jantar Mantar’. Govind Dev Ji Temple is within the complex of the city palace. Hereinafter,
visit Hawa Mahal, the palace of winds. It is an amazing, iconic and one-of-its-kind architecture. The
evening is kept free to explore local market.
