A flamboyant showcase of Rajasthani architecture and flair at its most irresistible, the Pink City of JAIPUR has long been established on tourist itineraries as the third corner of India's "Golden Triangle", just 300km southwest of Delhi and 200km west of Agra. As with most of India, Jaipur too, offers a unique combination of the ancient and the modern. While you can relax in the evenings in modern pubs, you can discover the massive ancient forts during the day. |

Places to see
Though the "Pink City" label applies specifically to the old walled quarter of the Rajasthani capital, in the northeast of town, glorious palaces and temples, in an assortment of styles that span the centuries, are scattered throughout the whole urban area. The walled city is suffused with a gentle pink light, flashed through by bright turbans and saris, while in the pink shops and houses that line its orderly streets, craftsmen create objects of delicate beauty with time-honored traditional skills, in full view of the hectic swirl of shoppers and tourists outside. |

| Lying on the bed of a long-dry lake, Jaipur laps against hills in the north, east and west, and rolls across the open plains to the south towards Bundi. Getting and keeping your bearings is simple; even if you can't see the Pink City, the hills behind it in the northeast, topped by the high walls of the Nahagarh Fort, are always conspicuous. |
