Jaipur was the best of all places I visited during a family tour in June 2013. The city of Jaipur is wrapped in Orangish-Pink painted buildings, hence the name 'The Pink City' to Jaipur.
The City Palace is a must see. The utilities used by the Kings in the palace are kept intact, without an inch moved and is well preserved by the curator.
There are many historic places that fall in 'Never Miss' list, yet I skipped a few places since I am immensely rejoiced on shopping. The city is famous for its authentic 'Bhandhni' Salwars, never hesitate to buy an original one. Juties, as the locals call, is a flamboyant layering of colourful fabric in shoes. I bagged one for INR250 and I love it. Shopping is affordable in the city, if you know to bargain.U can Mehendi ur hands anywhere since many women sit outside shops, malls and tour sites offering you mehendi for a nominal price.

Hawa Mahal has a scintillating architecture, a worthy stop-by.
Jal Mahal is a palace surrouned by a lake. Visitors are not allowed inside the lake or the palace, hence one can just see the palace from the roadside pavement alone. It would not take you more than a couple of minutes. We were too exhausted to see these three places in just a half day. With no energy left, we finally arrived to Amber Fort, a humongous infrastructure! I pushed the accelerator and skipped this fort as we had no time left.
Last but not the least, to have an endeavor of Rajastani food, I along with my family were taken to 'Thaal Restaurant', by my friends. The ambiance was in tune to the Rajasthani culture. I was in glee after tasting the food. The restaurant offers more than 2 servings for each item on the plate. Marvelous food. Hot and sugarrrrrrry jaelabi was THE BEST ever served in that dinner.
I totally enjoyed my time at the city of Jaipur. I encourage U too. Have a splendid time folks!!!
