First Trip to Rajasthan

It's been long time when I went to Rajasthan. First time when I went I never thought I am going to love this place so much that I will visit frequently and start writing abou this.

My first experience was amazing and so much insightful that I decided to visit atleast once in two year. As everybody do I tried doing some basic reasearch through internet, friends and know abou the place, best time to visit Rajasthan. Few website I found useful are really worth visting...
I started my journey from Jaipur and it was November ending and afcourse the best to visit Rajasthan is from Mid October to Feb end because in March then it started getting hotter day by day. This is winters and now this Pink city looking very beautiful in the morning. I have so much to say so I have decided I will write city by city whenever I will get time. I will write on Jaipur because this was my first day in Rajasthan.

Jaipur,

Jaipur the pink city and also the capital of Rajasthan a superb city to be there. We can found royalty of olden time in the people, places upfront. You can find traveller like us on Jaipur roads, monuments very easily...

Before coming here I had prepeard list I deceided to go with a propoer guide as I do not know much about the local language but I have done my home work...so I had list with me but I gave chance to my tour operator to show his talent :)

We started with Hawa Mahal (pls excuse me if I mis spelt) the heritage legend which so big and place of winds if not a wrong name for this. I don't remeber the exact date of consutruction, built by etc and you can easily google abou these details...Hawa Mahal definatly one of the Finest Heritage place of Jaipur a five story building and if am not wrong this have amazing 900+ plus windows...It was built to let Ladies see the day to day life in Jaipur as it use to be a conservative thinking of "Purdah (cover)" so that they can't be seen but they can see. Its amazing built of Red sandstone skin this is situated in the centre of city. If you actually want to see its beauty the watch in the early morning...it look perfect!

Next visit was of City palace which is still the Royal Residence for Rajasthan rulers. It host a beautful museum apart from royal residence (Chandra mahal). Again the crown of Jaipur's City mahal is built by Red colour sandstone...Can't forgot to mention these monuments are finest example of excellent architecture. This also other building like Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal. Again City palace is also in the heart of City Jaipur...

I will have to rush but my next post will be continued on Jaipur...
