DAY 7 JAIPUR

Indulge in a delightful breakfast as an exhilarating day of exploration unfolds. Your sightseeing adventure commences with a photo visit to the Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. This five-storied marvel boasts a spectacular pyramidal facade adorned with overhanging windows featuring latticed screens, domes, and spires. Next, venture to the ancient capital of Amer, where the magnificent Amber Fort awaits. Perched on a ridge just outside Jaipur city and surrounded by fortified battlements, this architectural gem was initiated by Maharaja Mansingh, the most successful General of Mughal Emperor Akbar, in the 17th century. Before the construction of the City Palace in Jaipur, Amber held the seat of power. The fort, encompassed by fortified battlements, commands views of the Moat Lake. Ruins and remnants grace the Aravalli hills, and expansive crenellated walls define the surrounding landscape. Explore the unique Anokhi Museum of hand block printing, where traditional textile printing techniques come to life. Uphill elephant ride and downhill by jeeps at Amer Fort. In the afternoon, journey to the Pink City, known as the “abode of rajahs.” Visit the City Palace Museum, home to an impressive collection of Rajasthani costumes and an armory featuring weapons of various shapes and sizes with intricately chiseled handles. The museum houses antiques and artifacts from the ruling family, along with a remarkable art gallery displaying miniature paintings, carpets, royal paraphernalia, and rare astronomical works in Arabic, Persian, Latin, and Sanskrit. Continue your tour with a visit to the awe-inspiring Jantar Mantar Observatory, an 18th-century stone astrological and astronomical marvel built by Maharaja Jai Singh. Conclude your day with a leisurely exploration of the local market.
