Also known as the Pink City, Jaipur is Rajasthan’s capital and a gateway to the cultural and natural delights of the vast state, while also being packed to the brim with attractions of its own.
One of the earliest examples of a planned city in India, there are countless sights to discover while wandering its maze-like streets, including the expansive City Palace of Jaipur, the iconic Hawa Mahal, and the lotus-like Jal Mahal, which sits in the centre of one of the city’s lakes.

Surrounded by pink, you may think you are in some kind of fantasy, In fact, it's Jaipur! Filled to the brim with cultural delights, and a great place to kick off your other adventures, we've compiled a few of the top things to see in and around this great city.
No holiday to Jaipur would be complete without sampling the local favourite of dal, baati, and churma. The unique mix of yellow lentil curry, fried bread dipped in ghee, and porridge-like sweet treat is an explosion of flavours, and unlike anything else you’ll have tried
The intertwining histories of the Middle East and India is plain to see when it comes to this region's food. And nowhere is the Mughal culinary influence more obvious than with Kabuli, a rice-based dish that’s a firm favourite in Jaipur. Most plates of this that you’ll get in the city have been turned into vegetarian versions of the Afghan original, but the depth of flavour remains just as strong.
Ghevar is a Rajasthani specialty, and the locals are fiercely proud of the sweet dish. Made from ghee, flour, and sugar syrup, and usually adorned with nuts, cardamom, and other spices, the disc-shaped dessert is everywhere on the streets of Jaipur, so make sure you grab a piece (or four.)
Experience some of the earth’s highest mountains and soak up the glory of a culture based on ancient spirituality.
Experience the destination which was once part of the world’s most epic trading route: the Silk Road.
