JaipurTours, Activities & Travel Guide

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is known as the Pink City for its rose-coloured old town, royal forts and vibrant bazaars. Its walled city, Amber Fort and Jantar Mantar are UNESCO World Heritage sites, and it is one of the three points of India's Golden Triangle with Delhi and Agra. Veraag's Jaipur tours and holiday packages combine the city's best heritage, food and shopping in itineraries for couples, families and groups.
