Jaipur and the Amber Fort, India


Prepare to be enchanted by India’s ‘Pink City’ – Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan! Filled with stunning architecture, delicious street food, and centuries-old sites - this is a destination you won't want to miss. The city of Jaipur is home to the City Palace, a stunning complex of courtyards, gardens and temples. The palace walls are covered in intricate murals, and the nearby Jantar Mantar Observatory is a must-see for astronomy lovers.


Start your journey in the heart of Jaipur and explore its iconic bazaars. Jaipur is also known for its spices, and the city's vibrant bazaars are a paradise for shoppers. Lose yourself in the winding alleyways of Johari Bazaar as you search for colourful fabrics and jewellery or sample some traditional Indian treats from the street food stalls. Take a break from shopping and visit City Palace – an 18th century building boasting an intricate mix of Mughal, Rajput and European designs.


And of course, no trip to Jaipur would be complete without a visit to the Amber Fort. It's garden and courtyards are simply breath-taking, looking like the world's largest sandcastle. Nestled on top of a hill outside Jaipur city centre, this ancient fortress offers stunning views over nearby Maota Lake – keep an eye out for wild elephants roaming around too! Inside the fort grounds lies Sheesh Mahal - be amazed by its glimmering walls made entirely out of mirrors, part of the complex's ornate Mughal-style interiors.


After admiring Amber Fort’s beauty, make your way back into town to experience Jaipur’s buzzing nightlife – take a seat at Chokhi Dhani - a cultural village offering live music performances and traditional puppet shows. From bustling bazaars to ornate palaces – let Jaipur transport you into an enchanting world today.
