Jaipur the 'Pink City' and the 'Amber Fort'

Unlike most cities in India, which have developed in a haphazard way, Jaipur is a planned city. Though it is rapidly expanding and has long ago outgrown the confines of its ancient walls, the Old City of Jaipur is still a fascinating and unique place. Known as the Pink City for the colour of these city walls, the street life has to be seen to be believed. A chaotic mix of pedestrians, bicycles, cars, buses, trucks, camels and everything else besides - best experienced by taking a ride on a cycle rickshaw.
Amber Fort is situated 11km north of Jaipur. We had a jeep ride up the steep path which leads to a magnificent complex of palaces, halls, pavilions, gardens and temples built over a period of 125
years by successive rulers.
