Jaipur Tours
See majestic forts covered in serene pink haze on Jaipur tours with Destination India Tourism.
The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur enchants with its vibrant bazaars, havelis, forts and heritage monuments.
Established in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, Jaipur is a brilliant example of a perfectly planned urban center. Conceptualized and designed by a great architect Vidhyadhar, on the basis of principles mentioned in an ancient Indian treatise "Shilpa Shastra," Jaipur is a fascinating example of scientific acumen, as it existed in medieval India.
See the beautiful honey-comb shaped Hawa Mahal that ornaments the outer façade of the City Palace Complex; ride an elephant up the steep route to imposing Amber - the erstwhile capital of valiant Minas. Be taken aback with the exquisitely carved palaces and shrines located within the Amber Fort walls that ensconce an entire township within its folds. Amber Fort is an excellent example of Rajputana building styles fused with Mughal construction patterns. Interiors at Amber still wear an ornamental look so one can imagine the splendor of the days gone by.
The City Palace Complex in Jaipur is a labyrinth of spectacular palaces, shrines, vast courtyards, royal quarters and ornate lawns. See exotically carved walls of the Diwan-e-Khas and the Chandra Mahal on Jaipur tours with Destination India Tourism.
Jaipur tours must include tours to the magnificent Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort. Both military fortresses that were constructed to bolster Amber's defense.
The Narain Niwas Palace is another enchanting specimen of imperial Jaipur's architectural heritage. The Raja Mahal palace is another jewel-like that was constructed for a Sisodia Queen so that she could keep away from political intrigues at the royal court.
