Royal Heritage Capital
The Pink City of India, Jaipur is Rajasthan's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning forts, palaces, and vibrant bazaars.
Jaipur is where most Rajasthan journeys begin — and for good reason. As the region's capital and its most-connected city, it combines UNESCO World Heritage monuments with the full range of accommodation, food, and transport options. Three days here is enough to understand Rajasthan's scale: the amber-coloured fortresses on the hills, the pink-painted streets of the old city, the markets that have been trading since the 18th century. It suits a broad mix of travellers precisely because it doesn't ask you to specialise.
