    very good place ,
    The city is famous for its seafood and in particular for its crab. Besides the beach, this city has no big attractions. Kep can be a great day trip but also if you want to relax for a few days while enjoying the Cambodian food. For us, it is slow travel at its finest!

    The view from the streetside is great - and, as many reviewers have commented, so is the difficulty of getting a good shot of this place from the street, because of all the traffic. As the guide said when we crossed the street to visit this place, "Stay on my left, follow me closely, don't move until I move, and if it's our time, it's our time", which pretty much sums up the style of driving in Jaipur.

    Having said that, it is worthwhile to not only take a photo from the street side of the facade of the Hawa Hamal, but to enter it, despite the relatively high entrance price for foreigners (for how small it is). There isn't much inside, but the courtyard is pretty, and if you climb to the top, you can get great views over Jaipur and the nearby City Palace area to the west, over Jaipur toward the Amber Fort to the north, and over the amazing street traffic in adjacent streets to the east and south. (No wonder it's hard to cross the streets!)

    Also, if you go into the Hawa Mahal, you can imagine what it might have been like to live in this complex, with your only view of the world being the view out the honeycombed windows (designed to allow you to see the outside world, but for no one else to be able to look in to see you). Those windows are part of the reason the Hawa Mahal has such a stunning facade.

    We entered the Hawa Mahal from the west side. We had visited the City Palace, and the Hawa Mahal west entrance is a short walk from there. This is an easier way of getting to the entrance, and recommended in preference to the streetside entrance if you are already visiting the City Palace or the Jantar Mantar observatory.

    Overall, this was an enjoyable visit.

    Not cheap for foreigners (Rs1000) but definitely worth a visit, easily combined with a visit to the astrological site, Jantar Mantar, across the road (also only a 10 minute walk to Hawa Mahal).

    My specific recommendation is not to whizz through the Paintings and Photography gallery. Take your time - have a really good at the miniatures which are just incredible works of art. Equally impressive are the photos taken by Maharaha Ram Singh II. He was truly ahead of his time. Aside from the self portraits, look out for his photos of the royal palace concubines - it’s extremely unusual to see any images of women (who are in purdah and not allowed to be gazed upon by the public). Wonderful!

    The Sheesh Mahal in Amber Fort is one of the most beautiful parts of the Fort and an exemplary example of craftsmanship. It has incomparable beauty and art. Mirrors are plastered on the walls

    The temple is one the most beautiful temples in Jaipur city. The temple is dedicated to the deities Lakshmi and Narayana, the divine powers in hindu religion. The environment of the temple is peaceful and serene and is quite suitable for people to visit anytime safely. The architecture is magnificent and is made mostly of white marbel, which shows traditional elements and tranquility. The temple is constructed on a particular height to provide visiters with great views from the temple. The sunets and sunrises from the temple look stunning.

    This beautiful Jal Mahal palace sits on a lake. It is very secnic. It was built 100 years ago. At night it turns pink due to reflection on the water.

    Wonderful history . Worth reading up on before. Be prepared for the cold if it is a winter day . Even if the city is sunny . Beautiful for photos is it’s a clear day . But even in the mist . Great photo opportunity.

    I went to a family wedding and had a fabulous time over several days and the staff couldn't do enough for us, despite a few hiccups with getting the room serviced.
    A special thanks to Mr Modi who ensured each day started perfectly with super service at breakfast.

    So much fun seeing the monkeys, playing swimming and enjoying life.

    Only spoilt by the guys near the temple who try to charge visits (mainly foreign tourists) to get in.

    This is a temple, so only give donations to the monks or in the authorised donation boxes (remove shoes if within a prayer area).

    A must-see stepwell that is typically part of your guided Golden Triangle tour. We saw three stepwells during our tour, and this one, along with the others, was an impressive sight. In my humble opinion, overall, while it may not be as grand as Chand Baori, Panna Meena Ka Kund is a convenient and fascinating stop if you’re exploring Jaipur.

    I visited Patrika Gate last Friday evening, and it was enchanting. The intricate details and vibrant colors glowed under the soft lighting, creating a magical ambiance. The serene atmosphere and beautiful illuminations made it a perfect spot for an evening stroll and photography, leaving a lasting impression on me.

    Johari Bazaar, a must visit market, located near Hawa Mahal is a shopper’s paradise in Jaipur. The word ‘Johari’ in Hindi means ‘Jeweller’, so the name describes itself. The market is lined with hundreds of shops that deal with exclusive jewellery and artefacts representing the rich Rajasthani culture and craftsmanship of the city. Not only jewellery, it is also an ideal place to shop for lehengas, exquisite Mojari’s or Jutis (leather sandals), and sarees in colourful Bandhej and glittering stonework or gemstones. We went there to buy lahengas, bed sheets, gift items, souvenirs, shawls etc. After moving in different streets we were able to find the most to our satisfaction. Even if you are there not to buy anything, the market will tempt you to buy something. If you feel tired and dry, do not forget to have Shikanjee or Sugar Cane Juice. One can try local snacks also.

    The actual temple was an enormous and magnificent structure. It is said to be the largest Hindu temple in the world, and after visiting it I could absolutely understand why that is the case. The temple's architecture was so beautiful it took one's breath away. The complex and detailed carvings that were done on the pillars demonstrated a high level of skill. I couldn't help but admire the meticulous craftsmanship that went into designing the temple.
