Luxury Holidays in Jaipur

The romantic ‘Pink City’

Jaipur is Rajasthan’s vibrant and fascinating state capital. Known as the ‘Pink City’, on account of the reddish colourwash applied to many of the buildings, Jaipur was founded by the noted astronomer, Maharaja Jai Singh, in 1727.

The city’s romantic charm whisks you away to a stately epoch of royalty and tradition. Here the past comes alive in magnificent forts and maharajas’ palaces – the City Palace delights with its intricate courtyards, gardens and sumptuous décor. Ringed by sleeping forts, visit stunning heritage sights, or venture out into the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Jaipur lies in a rich mineral belt of marble and precious and semi precious stones, making it a mecca for jewellery. The bustling, timeless bazaars are a shopper’s treasure-trove.
