A delicate blend of old and new, Jaipur is a vibrant city full of energy, color and grandeur. With a history of maharajas, emperors and queens, the capital of the Rajasthan state has a prestigious heritage and an esteem that continues to this day. The City Palace, a sprawling complex of buildings and courtyards, is a testament to Jaipur’s magnificence and still acts as the home of the former royal family. The impressive and intricate Hawa Mahal, composed of pink and orange sandstone, helps lend Jaipur its nickname, “the Pink City.”

But Jaipur is more than just splendid palaces and enchanting jewels. The bustling bazaars, traditional handmade crafts and delicious street food truly embody the city’s dynamic spirit. Jaipur is at its most lively during the annual celebration of Holi, an ebullient “festival of colors” that heralds eternal love and the arrival of spring. Jaipur Splendor is a dazzling tour of this one-of-a-kind city.

Matthew W. ★★★★★

The photos alone made me want to book a flight. The way it weaves the old and new parts of the city together is what really got me, especially reading about the bustling markets alongside the palace history.

Ava ★★★★★

The section on the maharajas and queens really pulled me into the history, and the writing on the city's color and grandeur made me want to book a trip. It balances old and new Jaipur nicely without feeling like a dry guidebook.

Michael ★★★★★

The photos of Jaipur's pink facades and the sections on the maharajas and queens pulled me right in. I've read a lot of travel books that gloss over the history, but this one actually balances old and new.
