Attractions

The beautiful city of Jaipur reflects grandeur and royalty through its splendid forts, flamboyant culture, warm hospitality, lip-smacking cuisine and never-ending shopping options.

Experience the magnificence of Jaipur by visiting the Amber Fort. Guarding the skyline of Jaipur, the fort seems to come out of a fairytale that makes you wonder and ponder in disbelief. Situated on a hilltop overlooking Maota Lake, the fort attracts the holidaymakers with its range of beautiful palaces, halls, gardens and temples. The most luring part of the Amber Fort is the elaborate mirror work displayed here that literally adds to the grandeur.

Hawa Mahal is also a must visit attraction of the Jaipur City. Constructed in 1799, this beautiful Mahal has 953 windows, which were once used by the queens to view the busy streets of Johari Bazaar. Travellers also enjoy visiting the larger than life Nahargarh Fort built in 1734. The Fort is perched high on the jagged Aravali Hills.
