Located just a short drive from the capital city of New
Delhi and close to Agra (home to the Taj Mahal), the royal city of
Jaipur (also known as 'The Pink City' due to the
predominant colour of its buildings), is well established as one
of the most romantic places on earth to get married. From the
rich history of its palaces to the gorgeous landscaped gardens
of the luxury hotels to the serenity of the floating
palace on Ramgarh Lake...everywhere you look there is pink...the
colour of romance.
Jaipur is the throbbing, vibrant capital city of the colourful
state of Rajasthan where the regal ambience of yesteryear is
still felt throughout the city's numerous carved arches and
once-bejewelled fortress walls. Enter this mystical city through
a narrow, cobbled street where street vendors selling everything
from sweetmeats to silver trinkets and leather slippers call out
to passing trade. Pass the huge hill on the right with its
stunning royal residence where decorated elephants obediently
transport delighted tourists to the top for its amazing vistas
of the city spread out below. Follow the winding road until you
begin to see the glittering lights of the city's numerous
palaces begin to emerge on the left hand side across the
glistening waters of the Ramgarh Lake. Stop to take pictures or
simply gaze in stunned silence at the beauty of the floating
palace of Ramgarh - perfectly illuminated by golden lights
strategically placed on all four corners of the palace.
And then comes the main city...surprisingly wide, clean roads
with some of the most well known brand names dotted on each
side...from the newly opened Hilton Trident to the Sheraton and
Le Meridien...you will find a massive choice of premium
accommodation in Jaipur. Each hotel has retained the city's
former glory and royal demeanour and the service excels itself.
Just remember to book your stay
well in advance to avoid disappointment, as it is busy year
round in this city of royal romance. Some of the most highly
recommended hotels to stay in whilst visiting Jaipur
include the Taj Group's Rambagh Palace and the Jai Mahal Palace
Hotel. The opulence of both hotels will literally take your
breath away and many a wedding takes place in the perfectly
landscaped grounds of these hotels with their backdrop of lush
palms and fountains.
A quick tip: whether staying at the Rambagh Palace or not, do
take time to enjoy the delicious al-fresco breakfast buffet
where the smart Jodhpur & waistcoat clad staff will treat you
like royalty. With eggs made to order and succulent sausages and
bacon following plates of the freshest, sweetest fruits, the
plump muffins and Danish pastries are hard to refuse especially
when accompanied with a choice of teas, coffee and piping hot
chocolate. And all served in the finest china and silver.
Drive further down the main boulevards of Jaipur city and you
come to a set of intricately carved arches, which divide the Old
City from the New City. Once through the arches, your senses are
immediately assaulted by the noisy onslaught of rickshaws,
buffalo carts, taxis, bicycles, scooters, elephants and cars all
jostling for space on the same road. Whistle blowing policemen,
horn blowing cars, mooing cows and convincing street peddlars
create a melodious harmony of ethnic sounds, which to the first
time visitor to Jaipur, can be quite startling!
