Jaipur- the fabled 'pink city' of the desert named after

which were witnesses to the royal processions and splendours,
are now living monuments.

Fort, which cannot be easily described. You ride

royals set against the backdrop of the wooded hills.

Hawa Mahal. This elaborate building, now little
more than a façade, is encrusted with delicate screens
and carved balconies from which the royal ladies, confined
to their quarters, could sneakily view the outside world.

where time has been accurately measured since the 17th
century. Later also visit Birla Mandir-a unique monument
