The picturesque capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur is colour washed pink - the colour associated with hospitality. It was built in 1727 A.D. by Maharaj Sawai Jai Singh II. The ancient heart of the Pink City still beats in its fairytale palaces, rugged fortresses perched on barren hills and broad avenues that dot the entire city. There is a timeless appeal to Jaipur's colourful bazaars selling trinkets  and handlooms. Part of the famed golden triangle, visiting the beautiful gardens, attractive monuments and marvelous heritage hotels in Jaipur is an unforgettable experience.
