    Where to stay in Jaipur

    ©
    With a big selection of budget and mid-range hotels, Jaipur serves as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. Many taxi and rickshaw drivers aggressively push their choice of hotels on unwitting tourists--if you refuse their suggestions, they might double the fare. To avoid this inconvenience, book your room ahead and call the hotel to arrange for a pickup--many offer shuttle services to and from the train and bus station.

    Jaipur

    #Historic Sites, #Museums, #Childrens Museums
    Known as the "Pink City" because of the color of the stone used for many of its notable structures, Jaipur draws visitors with its chaotic street life and a slew of colorful bazaars selling everything from handmade pottery to tie-dye scarves. Tourists on vacation in Jaipur use the city as a base for exploring one of India's most exotic states, dotted with historic sites and architectural treasures. The most popular Jaipur attraction remains a 16th-century fort, a giant citadel that seems straight out of a fairy tale. Impressive temples, palaces, and gardens add additional charm to a city filled with history and unique cultural heritage. Jaipur is in Jaipur District. Use our India trip planner to plan your trip to Jaipur and other destinations in India.
