The glorious City Palace of Jaipur is one of the most frequented tourist attractions of Jaipur and the first place to visit with our one day private trip. This famous palace was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh between the years 1729 to 1732.
The outer wall of the palace was built by Jai Singh II, but the palace itself has undergone several renovations and changes over the years, with some of them having been done as recently as in the 20th century.
The vast complex of the palace occupies one seventh of the walled city. The City Palace used to be the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur for all his courtly affairs. The palace is intricately planned with a special focus on division of the complex into a series of courtyards, buildings and gardens.
The architectural style of the City Palace is an amalgamation of the Shilpa Shastra along with Rajput, Mughal and European styles. The palace was built using red and pink sandstone and has three gates named ‘Tripolia Gate’, ‘Udai Pol’ and ‘Virendra Pol’.
The gorgeous courtyards, manicured lush green gardens, splendid edifices and meticulous stonework make City Palace a perfect blend of design, art, colour and culture.

Hawa Mahal is a world famous architectural marvel that stands at the intersection of the main road of Badi Chaupad and in the busy market, having a private cab allows you to reach here easily. It has emerged as the signature landmark of this city and was built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in the year 1799.
Hawa Mahal derives its name from its unique structure, which is a mesh of small windows that brings cool winds into the palace and keeps the palace cool and comfortable during the harsh heat of the hot summer months. Hawa Mahal is built in the Rajput architectural style and has been constructed out of red and pink sandstone.
The Palace’s pyramidal structure resembles a crown, and is embellished with a myriad of tiny, intricately designed windows. The Hawa Mahal palace is a five floor storey building and each floor houses uniquely decorated chambers.
A beautifully crafted fountain welcomes you inside the main palace, which leads to the upper level floors via the ramp. There are no stairs in this building. The top floor of the palace offers a brilliant view of the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Sireh Deori Bazaar.

This ancient marvel is home to nineteen incredible instruments built out of stone and brass. This observatory took five years to be constructed and was built by Raja Sawai Jai Singh between 1727 and 1733.
This astonishingly accurate construction and placement of instruments allows a well-read observer to note the position of heavenly bodies with his naked eye alone. The main reason why this vast observatory was built was to study and gather information about space and time as was known back then.
The instruments here pertain to Egypt’s Ptolemaic astronomy and follow three classical celestial coordinates – horizon-zenith local system, the equatorial system and the ecliptic system – to track the positions of heavenly bodies.
This observatory is also the proud owner of the world’s largest sundial. These instruments still work as well and accurately as before and have seen no damage through the centuries.
Jantar Mantar is the perfect monument to witness the marvel of mathematical, scientific and engineering precision. Jaipur’s Jantar Mantar is also the largest one as compared to its other counterparts in the North of India.
