DAY
05 : In Jaipur
 Morning
proceed for the sightseeing tour of Amber
Fort and Jaipur city.
Amber Fort was the ancient capital of the State
until 1728. Visit the Temple of Kali, the Hall of
Victory or Jai Mahal
and Jagmandir. You
can also experience a unique ride on an elephant’s
back to and from the top of the hill on which the
Fort is situated. The city of Jaipur takes its name
from Maharajah Jai Singh, a prince and an astronomer,
who designed and founded the city in 1727. Visit
the quaint observatory built by him, which is equipped
with instruments that he designed. These devices
are of remarkable sizes, with such accuracy that
is difficult to attain even in today’s age.
Also visit the Maharaja's City Palace, a former
royal residence and now a museum containing rare
manuscripts, fine specimens of Rajput and Mughal
paintings and weapons. Drive through the pink-rosed
residential and business areas, past the Hawa
Mahal or Palace of Winds, which is the landmark
of Jaipur.
