Unforgettable Rajasthan

• Enjoy your breakfast at the hotel today before we head out exploring Jaipur. We’ll get ready for a full-day sightseeing around Jaipur, starting with Amer Fort. About 11km from the city, also known as the Amber Fort, there are four levels that you can explore here. Visitors can pay for an Elephant ride experience, a unique way to explore the place. One can also see the Maota Lake from the fort. On the lake is the Kesar Kyari Garden which was created in the 1600 for the harem to enjoy the view a pulley system that transports the ladies safely here without having to meet men.
• We’ll head out to visit the Shila Devi Temple, housing an idol of Durga brought here in the early 1600s. Raja Man Singh I had brought the statue in as a promise for winning against King Kedar and it is now in the sanctum.
• There’s also the gorgeous Sheesh Mahal, also known as the Mirror Palace, where you can see the beautifully carved marble panel on a pillar in the shape of a “magic flower.” One can see seven beautiful forms carved: a lotus, a lion’s tail, a scorpion, a hooded cobra, a fishtail, a cob or corn, and an elephant trunk.
• The Panna Meena Bawri is a stepwell meant as a bathing place for Indian Queens and you can see what would’ve been a very exclusive site back in the days. Visit the Man Sagar Lake, a manmade lake which was created by raja Man Singh in 1610 after a dam was created on the Dravyavati river.
• Additionally, if we weren’t able to explore these places, we’ll also head to the City Palace. Today, it is still the home of Jaipur royal family and has an iconic pink façade and was built in 1732, or nearly 300 years ago after Jaipur became the capital city. There’s also Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Breeze, which is built at the edge of the City Palace where the royal ladies typically reside for “pardah” where they can observe street processions and other activities without revealing their face to the public.
