The northwest Indian city of Jaipur has almost always been known as the ‘Pink City’. Some attribute the name to city designer’s attempt to imitate Mughal architecture, notable for its use of red sandstone; others point to an 1873 visit by Edward VII, the then Prince of Wales, preparation for which prompted painting much of the city in pink.

The tones have faded in the Indian sun to the warm reds that characterise Jaipur today. Internationally renowned for the regularity of its layout, planned primarily its 18th-century founder and ruler, Jai Singh II, Jaipur has also been described as the ‘Paris of India’.

As capital of the state of Rajasthan, Jaipur bears many hallmarks of the region’s martial past. Towering ancient forts serve as a reminder of the battles fought over precious territory on the periphery of the Great Indian Desert. A long way from the stark utilitarianism of most strongholds, the fortresses of Nahargarh and Jaigarh are just two examples of the exquisite craftsmanship sought by the warrior castes of days gone by. The Amber Fort is an undisputed masterpiece of both structural engineering and aesthetics. Ascending the long path to its main gate on elephant back is a moving experience. It’s hard not to be impressed by the pervasive influence of noble tradition that colours the city, and its proximity to profoundly religious sites serves as a reminder of the deep importance of spirituality to India’s development.

Jaipur streets are a hive of activity, with plenty of things to seek out and explore. Its wide cobbled streets are lined with bustling stores selling everything from dairy products to jewellery; it’s easy to lose several hours simply soaking up the daily goings-on as you wander. To help you navigate, remember that the Jaipur Palace is strategically positioned at the centre of town with settlements radiating out around it in a carefully planned fashion. The Old City’s fortified wall also serves as a valuable waypoint, one useful for any tour of town. Once your feet can take no more, settle into any of a wide selection of Jaipur hotels, spend time in the shopping district or feast on local specialties in the city’s many restaurants.

whl.travel’s launch of www.jaipur-hotels.co.in connects travellers to local expert Viney Tyagi and the team at Uni-Crystal Holidays. Viney, speaking for his team, had the following to say about joining the network: “Uni-Crystal Holidays was born for real tourism and is going great each year. Its association with whl.travel is getting stronger since we have the Agra site already launched. Now the Jaipur site is available and we are working on the new New Delhi site.
