The Pink City awaits, forts, palaces, bazaars and living history, all within easy reach of Krishna Palace.
Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Jai Singh II, Jaipur is India's first planned city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its rose-pink buildings, magnificent forts, vivid bazaars and royal palaces make it the crown jewel of the Golden Triangle. Krishna Palace sits in the heart of this city, your heritage home base for every adventure.
A masterpiece of Rajput-Mughal architecture perched on a rugged hillside, Amer Fort features intricate mirror work (Sheesh Mahal), grand elephant processions, and breathtaking views over the surrounding hills and Maota Lake.
The living palace of the Jaipur Royal Family, City Palace houses a museum of royal costumes, armoury, miniature paintings, and manuscripts. The Chandra Mahal at its centre is still occupied by the royal family.
Jaipur's most iconic pink sandstone façade, the Palace of Winds, has 953 small windows (jharokhas) designed so royal ladies could observe street life. Five storeys of stunning lattice-work make it a photographer's paradise.
An 18th-century astronomical observatory with the world's largest stone sundial. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II to study time, predict eclipses, and track celestial bodies with stunning precision.
Perched on the Aravalli Hills, Nahargarh ("Tiger's Abode") offers the most spectacular sunset views over Jaipur. Explore its ramparts, the royal apartments of 9 queens (all identical, to prevent jealousy), and enjoy the hilltop café.
