Package holiday to Jaipur

Jaipur, the pink capital of Rajasthan, rightly carries its nickname: in 1876, Maharaja Ram Singh had the entire old town painted terracotta pink to welcome the British crown prince — and this tradition is still maintained today. The city, together with Delhi and Agra, forms the famous Golden Triangle and is a must for every visitor to India.

The Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds, is Jaipur's most iconic building: its 953 small windows made of red sandstone allowed the royal women to observe street life without being seen themselves. The mighty Amber Fort sits on a hill north of the city, and the ascent by elephant or jeep leads through splendid courtyards with mirror work and intricate marble carvings. The City Palace still houses descendants of the royal family.

Jaipur is a shopping paradise for gemstones, textiles, and traditional handicrafts. The colorful bazaars around Johari Bazaar sparkle with silver jewelry and hand-printed fabrics. Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical observatory with giant stone instruments, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The best time to visit is from October to March, when mild temperatures make sightseeing enjoyable.

Jaipur particularly impresses with fascinating culture, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
