We will visit:

• Amber Fort

  The majestic Amber Fort dates from the 16th century and sits on a hill top about 11 km outside the Pink City. Sit back and enjoy the ride. The fort is open from 8:00 am (until 5:30 pm) and the entrance is reached after a short walk from the car park up an ancient road. If you would rather not walk, you can take a jeep or a golf cart, or even ride on the back of an elephant. The fort is superbly preserved and offers magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby Maota Lake.

• Jal Mahal

  Close to the Amber fort is the Rajput-style Jal Mahal, a stunning water palace that seems to float on the surface of the Man Sagar Lake. The Jal Mahal dates from the 17th century and was once one of the favourite palaces of the Jaipur Royal Family.

• Step well

  Near to the Amber fort is an incredible 16th century step well (or baoli). It has 8 levels of steps down to the water. It’s no longer in use, but you can follow the steps down to the water if you want.

• Jagat Shiromani Temple

  The Jagat Shiromani Temple is a Hindu temple, close to the Amber Fort. Its elaborate carvings depicting gods and episodes from Hindu scripture will mesmerize you. At the temple, there is a famous statue of Krishna. They say that Mirabai, the Hindu Poet and mystic, used to worship at the temple when she was in the area.

• The Jaipur bazaar

  No visit to the Pink City is complete without seeing one of the bazaars. These busy shopping streets and alleyways are filled with shops and stalls selling everything you can imagine, from spices, fruit, jewellery, and clothes, to traditional hand-made kitchen cutlery. You can walk a while if you wish, or we can just drive through the bazaar.

• Royal Gator

  At Royal Gator, close to the Nahagarh Fort, you will see the ancient tombs and mausoleums of the Jaipur Maharajas and Royal Family, including the tomb of the city’s founder Jai Singh. The marble domes and columns are the perfect place for that exotic selfie!
