Still inhabited by the royal family, the City Palace is a magnificent suite of courtyards, palaces and gardens.

03 - stay at the palace

amber fort

Set in the hills overlooking Lake Maota, Amber Fort is an architectural marvel. With its 3,000-year-old courtyards and palaces sumptuously decorated with semi-precious jewels, it’s hard to get enough of it.

OUR FAVORITE πŸ–€

Get lost on the upper floors and discover a tower with a breathtaking view of the entire fort and the valley below.

04 - a haven of peace

PALACE OF THE WINDS

One of Jaipur’s must-sees, with its 950 balconies, it takes its name from the way it was designed to let in the wind and cool the air. Above all, it was a means for the favorites of the royal harem to observe the street without being seen.

OUR FAVORITE πŸ–€

Enjoy a chai latte on the rooftop opposite, with a breathtaking view of Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds).

block print

The ancestral know-how of block printing is a printing technique using a wooden block carved in accordance with Indian traditions.
Handmade, it gives each motif and fabric a unique character through its touch and irregularities.

OUR FAVORITE πŸ–€

The Anokhi Museum is dedicated to the art of block printing. Workshops are held here, where you can create your own designs with artists.

Handed down from generation to generation, the meticulousness of the work is reflected in the precision of the gestures where the hands meet to create colorful, unique works.

OUR FAVORITE πŸ–€

Previously woven in Indian palaces as decoration and gifts, Jaipur has become an art gallery where artisans weave in the streets.
