- Things to do in Jaipur
Jaipur is known as the Pink City for the colour of the plaster used to cover the walls of many of the temples, forts, palaces and buildings in the old section of the city. There are definitely a handful of star attractions that make a visit to the capital of Rajastan well worth the trip.
Jaipur is not exactly a children’s playground, but there are a few things that should engage your kid’s interest. There’s a rather large doll museum and a modern planetarium, among the more interesting and kid-friendly attractions. The forts and palaces are mysterious enough to spark their imaginations, and there are plenty of those to go around. One highlight which will surely get the kids giggling is a trip out to the Sisodia Rani Gardens, where they can watch hundreds of monkeys running around like, well, monkeys.
Makar Sankranti: each year, devotees take a ritual dip in the holy water pool at Galtaji. This interesting religious event has also evolved into another of Jaipur’s massive kite-flying extravaganzas, filling the skies with colour on this holy day.
Jaipur is definitely one of more engaging cities in North India, and offers quite a few things to see. Granted, nearly all of them are structures, and old ones at that. However, if you’re a fan of architecture, or love majestic forts and mysterious palaces, then you’ll find plenty to keep you occupied during your visit to Jaipur. The Pink City also has one of the best bazaar scenes in the region, adding a bit of cultural interaction to your architectural wanderings.
Jaipur has its own airport located about 16kms from the city near the town of Sanganer. Although it primarily handles domestic flights to a number of Indian cities, including the major urban hubs like Delhi and Mumbai, it has recently been upgraded to an international airport. It only services a couple of nearby international destinations, but that may change in the future. Jet Airways, Air Sahara and Indian Airlines handle nearly all of the flights.

Superb place, an absolute must to try a indian palace. Excellent service. Prices very fair including restaurant. Surroundings are very poor as located right in the middle of old Jaipur...
