A riot of colours and a cacophony of noises are part of the city's appeal
The first thing, which strikes you about the city, is the myriad of colours that one encounters as soon as you enter its portals. The splash of colours really lends a very welcoming and a happy vibe to the city. The friendly and hospitable people of Rajasthan imbibe this spirit.
A true blast from the past is the ride on a camel back and the elephant. These rides almost take you back to the Rajput Days, the royalty and the grandeur. Its fun to enjoy the bumpy ride amidst the honking of cars, motorcycles on the street.
You would be absolutely spoilt for choices when it comes to shopping in Jaipur. The finest silks, handpainted fabrics, block printed cotton dresses, hand woven textiles all freely flow from family owned shops and other stores sell beautiful artifacts, knick knacks and all the things that you need to accessorize the home.
Jaipur is famous for its kundan work jewelry. You will find some unbelievable patterns and designs in a range of colored precious, semi precious stones.
