Welcome to Jaipur, the majestic capital city of Rajasthan, fondly known as the Pink City. Steeped in royal heritage and vibrant culture, Jaipur is a blend of old-world charm and modern-day marvels. The city was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and was India’s first planned city, designed according to Vastu Shastra.

From grand palaces and historic forts to bustling bazaars and mouthwatering cuisine, Jaipur is a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences. The pink-colored buildings in the walled city area, painted to welcome Prince Albert in 1876, have now become a symbol of its royal identity.
