Your guide will pick you up from the hotel and, while en route, share insights about the day's itinerary. Your first stop is Hawa Mahal, located in the heart of Jaipur's old city. This pink sandstone palace, also known as the "Palace of Winds," is famous for its unique honeycomb-like structure with small windows, or "jharokhas." Spend some time exploring the palace and admiring its intricate architecture.
After visiting Hawa Mahal, continue to Jantar Mantar, which is just a short walk away.

Take a guided tour to learn more about the fascinating history and science behind these instruments.
Next, head to the nearby City Palace, one of Jaipur's most popular attractions. This magnificent palace complex was built by the Kachwaha Rajput rulers of Jaipur and features a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture.
