Make the most of your India trip and start planning!
A treasure-trove of magnificent experiences, Jaipur is India’s modern, glitzy, vibrant and utterly romantic Pink City. Recently designated a UNESCO world heritage site, the ancient city walls contain a melee of salmon-coloured buildings, elaborate architecture and grand fortresses, the glorious City Palace taking pride of place. Visit Huwa Mahal, the Palace of the Winds, and marvel at the honeycomb exterior of stained glass and stone, then venture to the Amber Fort for a wander through the pavilions and dainty courtyards of Jaipur’s star attraction. But don’t miss the other side of this enthralling city either: glamorous polo matches atop painted elephants; cool-as-a-cucumber bars and restaurants hidden in the back streets; and a shopping scene to rival New York, where everything from block-print fabrics to Rajput jewels await a precious space in your suitcase.
Salmon-hued buildings glow in the golden light as morning breaks over this UNESCO-listed architectural wonderland. The honeycomb facade of the Hawa Mahal once concealed royal ladies watching street festivals below, while Amber Fort's mirrored halls still capture light in a thousand dancing reflections. Artisans continue centuries-old traditions in hidden workshops - block-printing cotton with wooden stamps, setting gems in kundan jewellery, and throwing blue pottery wheels. Beyond the grand monuments lies another city entirely: stylish rooftop bars overlooking ancient observatories, designer boutiques tucked behind crumbling havelis, and invitation-only polo matches where painted elephants replace ponies. From sipping masala chai in bustling Johri Bazaar to watching leopards prowl at dawn in Jhalana Reserve, the Pink City delivers royal splendour with unexpected contemporary twists.
