Days 2, 3 and 4: Jaipur

Today, you'll be transferred to Jaipur (approximately 5 hours), and you can watch exotic India speed past your window on the way. In Jaipur, you’ll stay in a cosy family hotel for a firsthand experience of typical Indian hospitality. The rooms here are tastefully furnished in traditional Indian-style and several have four-poster beds. Breakfast is served in the romantic English tea garden. The family will go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. You’ll spend two nights in this tranquil location.

On Day 3, you’ll take a guided tour of this remarkable city, visiting the City Palace, the Observatory and the fairy-tale Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal). In the afternoon, you’ll visit the imposing Amber Fort that lies just outside the city limits. From the battlements of the Amber Fort, you’ll have a wonderful view of the rocky hills and the smaller walls and forts constructed by the Rajputs and the Mughals in the area. The centre of Jaipur is a lively jumble of colours, camel carts, elephants, beggars, rickshaws, temples, forts and palaces.

The City Palace and the Palace of the Winds both stand in the ancient quarter of the city. The City Palace has several beautiful museums with fascinating collections. If you see the flag flying, it means that the Maharaja is in residence. The Palace of the Winds is a world-famous, pyramid-shaped building with dozens of windows. This is where the women of the royal harem could watch the processions in the street below, unseen by the masses.
