Top 10 Experiences in Jaipur

The Palace of the Winds is a five-storey pink sandstone screen of 953 latticed windows through which royal ladies could observe street life unseen — one of India's most iconic facades.

Still partially home to Jaipur's royal family, this sprawling palace complex houses museums displaying royal costumes, weapons, and the world's largest sterling silver vessels.

This UNESCO-listed 18th-century open-air astronomical observatory contains 19 monumental geometric instruments that still accurately track celestial bodies and predict eclipses.

Jaipur's historic jewellery market is the world's leading centre for precious and semi-precious gemstones, where craftsmen cut, polish, and set stones with generations-old mastery.

Perched on the Aravalli ridge overlooking the Pink City, Nahargarh offers spectacular sunset views over Jaipur's skyline and houses a contemporary art gallery within its ramparts.

The Water Palace appears to float on the surface of Man Sagar Lake, its lower four storeys submerged, creating a surreal reflection that is best seen at dawn or dusk.

Visit a traditional workshop in Sanganer or Bagru to watch artisans hand-stamp intricate floral patterns onto cotton with carved wooden blocks using natural vegetable dyes.

This ancient Hindu pilgrimage site carved into a mountain gorge is home to hundreds of rhesus macaques, natural kund pools, and peacocks wandering among pink sandstone temples.

An immersive Rajasthani village resort on the city's outskirts hosts folk dancers, camel rides, puppet shows, and a lavish thali dinner that showcases the full breadth of local cuisine.
