When to go to Jaipur?
Pink is not a metaphor here; the old city was painted that colour and has kept it. The Hawa Mahal's honeycomb of windows fronts a bazaar street selling bangles, block prints and lassi in clay cups, with the City Palace and the outsized instruments of the Jantar Mantar behind. Amber Fort rises on a ridge outside town, all ramparts, mirror work and courtyards.
The best time to go
For the best weather in Jaipur, aim for January to June, September to December.
