Maharaja Sawai Singhji fulfilled his beloved wife's desire to have a separate palace, by building this lush dreamscape of sorts in 1710. The Princess married the Maharaja only after he had promised to give the throne to her son. This palace outlined with trees and spacious courtyards is where their son, Maharajah Madho Singhji was born. He ruled the kingdom after the consecutive deaths of Maharaja Sawai Singhji and his elder step-brother Sawai Ishwar Singh. Currently Sisodia Rani Ka Bagh is open to everyone and allows visitors a chance to travel back in time while soaking in some splendid views. Named after the Maharani, this impeccably maintained palace, located amidst tranquil surroundings is perfect to spend time in solace. In the evenings, the Bagh is a sight to behold as the playful children of Jaipur splash in fountains interspersed with colors and lighting.
Certain sports are usually associated with Royalty, and hunting is one of them. Jal Mahal is one of the remnants of the bygone era, where animal and bird hunting was a royal sport. This five-story palace which was an architectural marvel of its time served as a hunting palace since the time it was built by Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799 AD. It got its name because of its location in the middle of the Mansagar Lake; Jal means water. Four of its floors are now submerged into the lake, with only the top-most story and the terrace visible to anyone standing on the edge of Mansagar. For decades, the Mansagar Lake has attracted various species of fauna and birds, thus making it a fitting spot to hunt that perfect game. Unfortunately today, Jal Mahal is closed for public visits, though one can still enjoy its beauty from afar, which is not a bad deal at all as the Mansagar Dam and Aravali Mountains in the backdrop make for some stunning views.
A city of strange blends when it comes to shopping, Jaipur is where you will find malls selling branded stuff and also glorious old fashioned bazaars which refuse to go out of style. On such example is that of Bapu Bazaar, where best bargains on Mojris, perfumes and traditional tie-and-dye textiles are available. Embroidered shoes made of camel skin is yet another specialty here. This bazaar is one among the six important bazaars of Jaipur and is very popular with the tourists. And if at all you want to take a break from the riot of sights, sounds and colors, indulge in some local snacks sold by roadside vendors. Trust this place to take up a lot of your time as it has so much to offer.
Nestled away cozily in the north of Jaipur, lies the lush green Kanak Vrindavan Valley. It was christened by Sawai Jai Singh, who was the ruler and founder of Jaipur. This natural attraction is one of the most visited tourist spots in Jaipur owing to its gorgeous ancient stone temples and the picturesque scenery it offers. The valley is also a favorite spot for film shooting and picnickers, and is also a perfect spot to watch exotic migratory birds.
If watching the latest releases is your idea of spending quality time, then Entertainment Paradise is the perfect pick.

So grab a basket of popcorn, sink in the plush seats and enjoy admiring your favorite stars on the big screen.
Les fondations du fort d’Amber furent posée par le raja Man Singh I en 1592, avant qu’il ne soit agrandi par les générations successives de Kachwahas au cours d’une période de 150 ans. Bordé par les montagnes Aravalli et surplombé par le fort Jaigarh, cette forteresse rajpute règne sur la ville historique d’Amber avec le vaste lac Maota à sa base. À l’intérieur, le fort est divisé en quatre sections individuelles, chacune avec sa propre cour et ses somptueuses enclaves. Du temple Shilla au Sheesh Mahal, ce fort ne pourrait être plus monumental. Que l’on s’attarde sur les peintures et les travaux en verre de Belgique, les fresques sublimes ou encore les incrustations traditionnelles et les travaux de reliefs qui ornent ce palais opulent, le fort d’Amber est un joyau monumental d’art historique et d’architecture en grès et en marbre, une résidence digne des rois rajputs et de leur famille. La totalité du fort est doté de rampes, qui servaient autrefois à pousser de petites voiturettes utilisées par les reines pour se déplacer, car elles avaient des difficultés à marcher avec leurs vêtements et bijoux lourds.
