Jaipur Heritage Walking Tour

Jaipur is a city of many colors and contrasts. It is best explored at a leisurely pace, as there is so much to see and do that a usual taxi or bus tour can never do justice to Sawai Jai Singh’s planned city built in AD 1727. He designed a city so perfect, so beautiful, the likes of which cannot be found the world over. Not a single aspect of designing has been overlooked here, from the uniformity of the shops to the length and breadth of the streets. Houses were placed strategically so that the hot summer sun was blocked out, yet they received adequate sunlight and air.
Jaipur is the most romantic and magnificent of all cities in India. The colored hues of the city will sweep you from your feet and cast a spell on you. Uniformity, symmetry, beauty and grandeur all packed in one. Jaipur has been ranked by many surveys as the cleanest and pedestrian friendly city of India and this makes it a great city for day tours.
