Jaipur, the vibrant present-day capital of Rajasthan, is popularly known as the “pink city” for the colour of the buildings in its old city. The buzzing metropolis is a place of wild contrasts and is a feast for the eyes.

 

After breakfast, proceed for an excursion to Amber - the old capital of Jaipur rulers. The fort of Amber is a superb example of Rajput architecture, stunningly situated on a hillside, overlooking a lake. Ride on elephants from the foot of the hill up to the gates of the fortress. Explore some more of the city with the Maharaja's museum, the 18^th century astronomical observatory and the Hawa Mahal.
