Jaipur is the picturesque capital of Rajasthan. It is 262 kms from
Delhi and is well connected by road, rail and air. A big fleet
of deluxe and air conditioned buses are operated between Delhi
and Jaipur. A special luxury train, the Palace on Wheels starts
from Delhi on a round trip of Rajasthan. Jaipur is colour washed
pink-the color associated with hospitality in Rajput culture.
Built in 1727 A.D. by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh JI, Jaipur
displays a remarkable harmony and architectural splendor. The
ancient heart of the Pink City still beats in its fairy-tale
palaces, rugged fortresses perched on barren hills and broad
avenues.
There is a timeless appeal to Jaipur's colorful bazaars where one
can shop for Rajasthani handlooms and trinkets. Beautifully laid
out gardens and parks, attractive monuments and marvellous
heritage hotels, once the residence of Maharajas are worth
admiration. Not to mention the ambling camels and cheerful
people in multi-hued costumes that make your trip to the pink
city a memorable one. |
