Built in the early 18th century, Jaipur was founded by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, and is often referred to as an example of a planned city. Filled with stunning architecture, museums, and various cultural sites, Jaipur is a city rich with history that has a little something for everyone.

Surrounded by the stunning backdrop of the Aravalli Hills, Jaipur is an architectural dreamscape. At its heart lies the City Palace, ancestral home of the erstwhile royal family whose regal quarters now house a museum of miniature paintings and intricately carved artefacts. Nearby, the famed Jantar Mantar, considered to be among India’s finest astronomical observatories; and Hawa Mahal enrobes the labyrinthine bazaar below in a delicate lace pattern of honeycombed stone.

Through the narrow streets of the old city, Jaipur’s sharp spicy surprises unfold. An invitation into an ancient world of colour and charm, where a dazzling array of Rajput and Mughal architecture is joined by a kaleidoscope of vibrant bazaars filled with hand-crafted treasures from all over India.
