Paris of India

Have you ever visited Paris?

Wait before answering my question first let me tell you I am asking about Paris in India.

So, have you ever visited Paris which is in India?

I know many of you already visited the place but all of you are confused about which place I am talking about.

Today I am going to share some information and my experience of the trip to Jaipur. For me those 3 days was remarkable and one of the best trip of my life.

Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan and is also known as Paris of India.

Jaipur was always on my list and still is because I am one of those who are fascinated by the royal culture and their living style.

Jaipur is known as the pink city for its trademark building color and the largest city in Rajasthan built in eighteen century by Sawai jai Singh as India’s first planned city.

Here are some famous tourist attraction sites in Jaipur -

• Hawa Mahal

Hawa Mahal is also known as the “palace of wind” was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. It is the most recognizable and center of attraction in Jaipur. It is made up of red and pink sandstone

There are a total of 365 latticed windows which are known as jharokhas.

It allows the royal ladies who at the time strictly observed “pardah”, to be able to watch any processions and activities on the street without being seen by the public.

Opening and closing time — 9am to 5pm

• Amber Fort

In the Amber fort (Amer fort ) you get the experience of royal life as well as Jaipur city from the top of the hills. Amer fort is situated on the top of Aravali hills in Jaipur. Am8 iner fort has servals gateways, paved paths, and maotha lake in the town of Amer.

It is only 11 km from Jaipur and is made up of yellow and red sandstone. Amer Fort is built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1592. It is served as the main residence of Rajput rulers.

Elephant ride up the stairs to the Amber Fort is also a popular tourist activity.

Opening and Closing Time — 8am to 5:30pm

• Nahargarh fort

Nahargarh fort is situated on the edge of Aravali mountain in Jaipur and was built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Singh. The original name of the fort is Sudershangarh but mostly it is known as Nahargarh fort which means ‘abode of tigers’.

One of the most tourists attractions point in the Nahargarh Fort is its extended walls which connects it to the jaigarh fort.

Opening and closing time — 10am to 10pm

• City palace

City palace construction started in 1727 by Sawai Jai Singh. City palace building preserved the history of the city. City Palace used to be the home for the royal family of Jaipur but later it was divided into two parts; one which contains few courtyards and museums and the other where the royal family still resides.

A 21-year-old Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh is currently holding the title of King in the city palace.

In the city palace, there is Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, diwan-e-khaas and pitam niwas chowk etc.

Opening and closing time — 9:30 am to 5 pm

Apart from these 4 sites, there are also Birla mandir, Jal Mahal, and Jantar Mantar which is also famous for its design.

How can I forget to tell you about the bazaars of Jaipur which is famous for jewelry and sarees, shoes And many more things. You can explore the Johari bazaar, chandpole bazaar, Bapu bazaar, etc by walk and these are just a few km away from each other.

You can visit the entire Jaipur in 3 to 4 days and the best time to visit Jaipur is from Nov to Feb because the weather of Jaipur is very hot in Summer.

If I talk about my trip we have covered the most place in 2 days and bazaars also and yes last but not least the taste of ram kachori which is also unforgettable and yes one more elephant ride.

So tell me have you already visited Paris or are planning.
