Morning: Amber Fort
Our day begins with a visit to the majestic Amber Fort, an iconic symbol of Jaipur’s history. Perched atop a hill, this grand fort was built by Raja Man Singh I in the 16th century and later expanded by his descendant, Jai Singh I.

Explore its intricate palaces, courtyards, and the famous Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) that will leave you in awe.
Late Morning: Hawa Mahal
Our next stop is the iconic Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. Built-in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, this unique five-story pink sandstone structure is designed. It was originally built for royal ladies to observe street festivals while remaining hidden from view. The intricate latticework allows for cool air to flow through the windows, giving the palace its name. Admire the beautiful facade and take memorable photographs.
