Jaipur

The magnificent and colourful capital of Rajasthan with its rich and fascinating history has become an extremely important part of India's heritage. It is one of the most important points on the Golden Triangle route and can also be a starting point for trips to other parts of Rajasthan. Jaipur is also called the Pink City, because it was pink sandstone that was the main raw material for building impressive palaces, temples and residences. The city's showpiece is the Palace of Winds - Hawa Mahal and the City Palace, which is still the official seat of the royal family. When in Jaipur, you cannot miss the attraction of riding an elephant to the top of the Amber Fort - the ancient capital of the Kachhawaha dynasty.
