Things to do in Jaipur
The road that leads to Jaipur from New Delhi is long, indeed very long and takes about six hours by car. During the journey, however, you can enchant yourself to watch the landscape flow from the window and above all you can stop when you will be attracted by everyday life in small towns.
You could also stop to feed the monkeys to ingratiate the God Monkey who looked at us from the top of his statue. You hope that at least bring good luck.
Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan, the land of kings, palaces and Maharajas.
VISIT THE CITY PALACE
The City Palace was the seat of the Maharaja and even today the current maharaja , although lacking in power, still resides in a part of this sumptuous palace. Buy the ticket that will also allow you to visit the interior rooms (remember that it is quite expensive compared to the Indian average) and discover the magnificence and opulence of the rooms and enjoy the view of the building from above. Take advantage of a stop at the bar inside the main courtyard to sip a tea with biscuits, to feel like real guests of the Maharaja.
TAKE A MASALA CHAI OVERLOOKING HAWA MAHAL
Hawa Mahal was the palace from which the Maharaja women , who were not allowed to go out, observed the city life. To enjoy it in all its splendor, go for a visit in the morning, when it is perfectly illuminated by the sun. Cross the street and look for the steep stairs that go up into the perched cafes of the building opposite. Order a Masala Chai , the typical tea with Indian milk and spices and enjoy the wonderful view from the terrace.
WALK AROUND THE BAZAAR
Tripolia Bazaar is the place to shop in Jaipur. Sari, shawls, gems, spices, hardware, sweets, earrings and bracelets, many bracelets. Arm yourself with patience and lose yourself in the typical shops.
PHOTOGRAPHING THE BUILDINGS OF PINK CITY
Jaipur is famous for the typical color of its palaces: the rose , a symbol of hospitality, which Maharaja Singh applied to all the palaces to welcome the Prince of Wales in 1876.
VISIT AMBER FORT
The Amber fort is located about 15 kilometers from Jaipur and was a royal palace built by rajputs . Get on top of your feet, so you can avoid the poor elephants working under the sun and enjoy the view of the fort that stands out against the blue sky.
VISIT HAWA MAHAL
The most characteristic building in Jaipur is undoubtedly the Hawa Mahal. It is an extraordinary palace that looks like a beehive. Externally you see windows, like closed balconies that protrude. The building is of a delicate pink colour and rises on five floors.
Attending a Puja
When we talk about India we talk about religion and in Hindu worship the Puja or Pooja , it is adoration, the homage of the faithful with the divine. Visiting one of the many Indian temples will naturally come across these experiences. Often you will be bound to a maul , a thread of red cotton tied to the wrist, to you who are not faithful Hindus . It is a typical Hindu custom, as an act of friendship, but also to receive an offer.
Elephant
This huge pachyderm has always attracted our sympathy. Here in Jaipur it is possible to visit nurseries and spaces that take care of these animals with the possibility of interacting, playing, bathing and even a short walk on the elephant's back. It is a pleasant and enjoyable experience that enthuses children and adults alike.
Tour in tuk-tuk
