Your one stop guide to the Pink City – Jaipur

A trip to the Pink City of Rajasthan is a given, especially when it is time for the Jaipur Literary Festival, which generally takes place in the month of Januray. Situated in the Aravalli hills, Jaipur is endowed with a rich and colourful history. The streets are packed with vibrant palaces at every corner, hills with imposing forts on top and beautiful lakes. When you are done with local sightseeing, Jaipur has a couple of bazars perfect for a shopaholic looking to splurge on clothes, cuisines and knick-knacks. What are you waiting for, pack your bags and head to Jaipur right away. 

Reasons To Visit Jaipur

Apart from the obvious old world charm of Jaipur, there are other factors for visiting this beautiful city. This place still breathes Rajasthani heritage, and the people are very much connected to their traditions. The folklore of Rajasthan can be found at various restaurants, theatres and other places making it a true delight for people who want to spend some time away from everything contemporary. 

So, when you arrive in Jaipur, the first place you should start your exploration are the historical monuments.
