Jaipur

Jaipur, “The Pink City”, is the capital of Rajasthan state. Its famous nickname comes from the colour of the buildings which were painted pink for the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1876. The city has many interesting buildings to view including the world famous Hawa Mahal and the stunning City Palace, which was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh in the 19th century. Another interesting complex is the Jantar Mantar Observatory, a UNESCO World Heritage Site completed in 1738.

Amber Fort

Situated in the town of Amer, the spectacular Amber Fort sits on the top of Aravali Hill overlooking Maotha Lake. The fort consists of magnificent large ramparts and gateways and can take several hours to discover all its secrets. In the evening, there is a dramatic light and sound show.

Udaipur

Located on the shores of Lake Pichola, Udaipur is known as the most romantic city in India. It’s also been called the “Venice of the East” due to the number of artificial lakes here. It also has its fair share of spectacular palaces including the beautiful City Palace, which consists of a colossal complex of 11 palaces and expansive gardens and courtyards.
