Of Palaces and a Royal Heritage - Explore Jaipur

Jaipur is that city in India that has a profundity of shrouded stories, puzzles, history, traditions, customs and a legacy immersed with plushness. Everything in Jaipur appears to be so attached to the past yet seems, by all accounts, to be contemporary to the point, that today it is the most appealing destination in India for explorers from inside and outside the nation. Some significant attractions are talked about here.

Actually it is not just Jaipur that can prove be an overwhelming experience, even the adjoining cities to Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan are full of surprises for any traveller. For instance, Jaisalmer is one plush stop to experience the authentic flavour of the Rajputana beauty and glory. From Jaipur, Jaisalmer is 555 km and one can also easily find a Jaipur to Jaisalmer train to commute comfortably. Meanwhile, take a look at these marvels from the city of Jaipur.

Hawa Mahal

Hawa Mahal was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh for the royal ladies so they could appreciate the hustle-bustle of the Johari Bazaar outside without stepping out. This compositional wonder has left a great many voyagers expanding in amazement. The lovers of art and architecture are going to adore it. Get prepared for some hair raising facts about this Palace of Winds. Truly, hair raising!

Sheesh Mahal

Situated in the magnificent Amber Fort, around 11 km from Jaipur, the Sheesh Mahal is another colossal design wonder amongst others. This Palace of Mirrors is so adroitly constructed that when even a minute ray of light enters this complex, the entire spot lights up by the mirrors reflecting lights. The boundless tiny mirrors fabricated on the walls of the Sheesh Mahal give it an energized and lavish touch.

Johari Bazaar

Got a wedding coming up at any point in the near future? Welcome to the heaven of everything classy, customary, and rajasthani! The Johari Bazaar has every one of the fixings that make it the most sought after shopping spots in the city. From beautiful knickknacks, to rattling bangles in a large number of hues, and so forth; this is the spot for the shopaholics, especially ladies!

Jaipur Literature Festival

For those visiting Jaipur in January and coincidentally are writing buffs, then voila! The Jaipur Literature Festival or JLF is a treat for such souls and is the biggest free artistic celebration in the world. The JLF ties the entire city and gives it a jubilee like feel. Intriguing discussions, level headed debates, workshops, and author interactions happen in the daytime, and at night one can surrender to the music of the performers and artists.

Chokhi Dhani

Now for the sake of that gastronomia, don't at all miss going to Chokhi Dhaani that spoils one to the core with bona fide and lip smacking Rajasthani cuisine. In spite of the fact that there are numerous more diners like this in Jaipur, since this one shouts of the Rajasthani vibe loudly, it turns into an unquestionable requirement to visit this spot in Jaipur.

Much like Jaipur, for a real taste of regality in the past, one can head to the once Mughal capital - Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal. A Jaipur to Agra train would minimum take 5 hours to reach Agra, and once you are done touring Jaipur, do not let that pep wash out. For that, take a trip to Agra next. Even better if continued from Jaipur. Enjoy!
