Plan a date with the architectural beauties

You will be amazed to know what led to the construction of these structures, how they were built, how long it took to build them etc. Modern day buildings will fail the test of time, but these historic monuments will blow the trumpet of their triumph over time.

Go shopping...empty your pocket

Jaipur is a shoppers’ paradise. The colours and the irresistibly beautiful handicrafts, jewellery, bed spreads, mojris and fabrics will leave you spellbound. You won’t get tired of shopping in this city, for everything that you see will make you go weak in your knees.
