At this iconic Jaipur landmark, travelers will have the opportunity to admire one of India's most famous and photogenic facades. With its 953 small windows (jharokhas), the Hawa Mahal was designed to allow the women of the royal family to observe daily life and street processions without being seen, respecting the rules of purdah.

During the visit, we will explain the history behind its construction in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, its unique pink sandstone architectural style, and its symbolism in Rajput culture.

You'll also have time to take incredible photos from the outside, and if you wish, you can go inside the building, climb its interior ramps, and enjoy panoramic views of the market and the old city of Jaipur from above.

A brief but absolutely essential stop for anyone visiting the Pink City.

At this fascinating 18th-century astronomical observatory, travelers will discover one of India's most important scientific and architectural gems. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jantar Mantar houses a collection of 19 large-scale astronomical instruments, designed to observe the sky with astonishing precision, without the use of modern technology.

During the tour, you'll learn how these instruments were used to measure time, predict eclipses, track the positions of the stars, and calculate the zodiac signs. The most impressive is the Samrat Yantra, the world's largest stone sundial, whose shadow moves 1 mm per second.

Our guide will explain how each instrument works in a clear and entertaining way, making this visit an educational and unforgettable experience. A UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Nestled in a peaceful valley at the foot of the Aravalli Hills, Gaitore Ki Chhatriyan is one of Jaipur's most serene and less touristy corners. This is the final resting place of the former maharajas of Jaipur, and is famous for its impressive marble and sandstone cenotaphs (chhatris), built in honor of each king.

Each chhatri is beautifully decorated with intricate carvings, frescoes and pillars, reflecting the Rajput architectural style and the grandeur of Rajasthan royalty. Here, travelers can stroll among royal monuments, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and enjoy a spiritual yet majestic atmosphere.

Our guide will share stories of the maharajas who rest here, the symbols engraved on the cenotaphs, and the historical significance of this unique site, rarely visited by mainstream tourists. Gaitore is ideal for lovers of history, architecture and photography.

Known as the "Water Palace," the Jal Mahal is one of Jaipur's most photogenic and magical landmarks. This elegant 18th-century palace sits in the center of Man Sagar Lake, creating a dreamlike image with its reflections on the water and the Aravalli hills in the background.

During your visit, you can admire the palace from the lakeside, as interior access is not permitted to the public. However, this place is perfect for enjoying a breathtaking panoramic view, taking memorable photos, and learning the history behind this architectural gem built by Maharaja Madho Singh I as a resting and hunting ground.

Our guide will explain the secrets of its construction, its Rajput-Mughal style, and how the palace, despite being partially submerged, has stood strong for centuries.

Additionally, around the lake there are vendors selling handicrafts, traditional snacks, and spectacular views, especially at sunrise or sunset.
