Jaipur: Experience Culture & Charm of Pink City

About Jaipur

Jaipur, known as the Pink City, is a cultural rich place & is known for its Historical Places, Vibrant Culture & Food. It was established by Jai Singh II, The Raja of Amber. He shifted his capital from Amber to the new city because of the rapidly growing population & an increasing water scarcity.

Jaipur is known as Pink City, as the color pink was symbolic of hospitality, Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur painted entire city Pink. You will still find this color in Old City or Walled City, in which entire market front buildings is still painted in Pink. Inside these wall, the Famous Hawa Mahal is also located.

Day-3: Jaigarh Fort & Nahargarh Fort visit can be planned on 3^rd day. Also explore Local Cusinies & Famous Food Joints.

Must Try Food Places

I will suggest 3 must try food places for 3 days & additional 1, if you would like enjoy ambience inside restaurants.

Momos & More, Nirman Nagar: They have 3 Outlets in Jaipur, one each at Nirman Nagar, Vaishali Nagar & Raja Park Will Suggest visiting Nirman Nagar Outlet as it having wide variety & good services compared to 2^nd At this outlet, you will find Only Veg Momos but in multiple variety. Must try is Steam Platter & Fries Platters, which is having mix of almost of Momos. Also you can try Hot & Garlic Momos. As there are no Softdrinks served here, you can go for 3 variants of Mojito.

Magic Mile, Vashali Nagar: This is authentic Non-Veg Restaurants. The food taste is quite Traditional. You will not find the ambience excellent, but its best part is its food.

Thali & More, Ashok Nagar: At this restaurant, you can experience the best authentic Rajasthani Thali. There quite waiting at this restaurant, so please plan early to visit. Waiting time is usually 15 to 30 Minutes on weekends.

Fort Restaurant, Adinath Nagar: Excellent Ambience inside the restaurant. You will get a good vibe, when you enter the restaurant. However, I will not say food taste is excellent, but it is good & a must try, if time permits.

Where to Stay

I would suggest staying near Jaipur Railway Station, which all types or budget of hotels are available nearby. There are 2 reasons for it, 1^st all the places you will visit is nearer to it & easy availability of Transport.
