Jaipur is a city that still resides in the pre-historic times, making it an extremely nostalgic and cultural place to visit when in India.
The Pink City
Back in 1876, the whole city of Jaipur was painted in order to welcome the Prince of Wale and Queen Victoria as the colour pink denotes hospitality. Maharaja Ram Singh, the King of Jaipur then, had this done and hence, the name.
Where to stay
Finding a 5 star hotel in Jaipur is not a hard thing to do, considering it has many great options like Alila Fort Bishangarh, for example. Jaipur is a vibrant and thriving city which has a lot of places popping up daily, to cater to the raising tourism in the area.
The city sites
Jaipur has many interesting things to do and look at, mainly, the mammoth castles and palaces that still whisper the stories of eras gone by when you walk through their halls.
Things to do
Currently, one of the most entertaining things to do in Jaipur is to explore the city from up in the air, by taking a hot air balloon ride. The aerial views of palaces will make you feel as tiny as an ant. The hot air balloon experience is something you must try if you are a romantic and love the golden age in history.
