Itinerary

1. Explore the Highlights of Jaipur

   • Meet your tour guide and visit the following places:
     • Amber Fort- Built in the 16th century by Maharaja Man Singh, it sprawls on the hillside. Its construction was started by Raja Man Singh but completed by his descendant Jai Singh. Amber is the classic romantic Rajasthan fort palace. Amber today is nothing but a reflection of the glorious past of the fierce Kachwaha Dynasty that ruled over this region from the 12th to 18th century.
     • Jal Mahal Palace (Water Palace) at Jaipur lies on the way to Amber and is at a distance of 6.5 km from the striking city of Jaipur. Tourists can see many memorials of the royal families on their way to the palace. The Jal Mahal Palace at Jaipur is strategically placed in the centre of Man Sagar Lake. It is really inspiring to see the first four floors of this fabulous building, which are submerged under the waters of the lake. Only the top floor of this beautiful palace is visible to the watcher. The lake and the palace offer some of the best views that are simply a feast to the eyes.
     • City Palace-  The palace is situated in the heart of the old City; it occupies about one-seventh of the old city area. The palace is a blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture and houses a seven-storeyed Chandra Mahal in the centre, which affords a fine view of the gardens and the city. Diwan-E-Am (hall of public audience) has intricate decorations and a collection of manuscripts, and Diwan-E-Khas (Hall of private audience) has a marble-pawed gallery. Mubarak Mahal has a rich collection of costumes and textiles. There is a Clock Tower near Mubarak Mahal. Sileh Khana has a collection of armoury and weapons.
     • Jantar Mantar Observatory- Built in the early 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the massive masonry instruments were used to study the movement of constellations and stars in the sky. Enormous sun-dial still provides accurate time, which is subject to daily corrections.
     • Albert Hall Museum- is the oldest museum in the state and functions as the State Museum of Rajasthan. The building is situated in Ram Niwas garden outside the city wall and is a fine example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. This graceful building was founded in 1876 by Prince Albert (also known as Albert Hall). It has a rare collection of archaeological and handicraft pieces.
