About Jaipur
Jaipur is Rajasthan's dazzling capital, painted in shades of pink and gold. Majestic forts crown the surrounding hills, ornate palaces hide behind bustling bazaars, and the food — from dal baati to lassi — is as vibrant as the textiles.

Travel Tips for Jaipur
Hire a driver for the day — it's affordable and the easiest way to see the spread-out forts.
Bargain confidently in bazaars — prices for tourists can start at 3-5x the real price.
Visit forts early morning to beat the heat and the tour bus crowds.
Drink only bottled water and be cautious with street food until your stomach adjusts.
