Jaipur is affectionately referred to as the Pink City because of the pinkish color of its Old City. The city, which is surrounded by rugged hills and besieged walls, is full of fascinating royal heritage and evocative well-preserved buildings. As well as being Rajasthan's capital, Jaipur is part of India's famous Golden Triangle Tourist Circuit. This makes it one of the busiest and most iconic cities in the state. In recent years, Jaipur has evolved to become quite hip with lots of cool cafes, shops, and artist spaces opening up.

Every surface of Jaipur’s 18th-century City Palace is adorned with carvings, silverwork or opulent textiles. The majority of the decoration was created in Jaipur’s Old Bazaars, and similar pieces of work are still made there today, the traditional techniques unchanged. Delve into some of the oldest streets of Jaipur with a local guide, and you can see the craftsmen at work. Zardozi embroidery, intricate designs created with gold and silver thread, is a particular speciality of the region.

There’s also the chance to sample some of the area’s culinary delights – popular with local shoppers and the artisans themselves. Your guide will introduce you to some of the most well regarded street food vendors, inviting you to try dishes such as freshly fried aloo tiki (potato cakes) and samosas. The desserts are as lavish as some of the craftwork, particularly the displays of barfi (a cashew nut and milk sweet) covered in edible silver leaf.
