Assouline Jaipur Splendor

A delicate blend of old and new, Jaipur is a vibrant city full of energy, colour and grandeur. With a history of maharajas, emperors and queens, the capital of the state of Rajasthan has a prestigious heritage and prestige that continues to this day. The City Palace, a vast complex of buildings and courtyards, is a testament to Jaipur's splendour and still functions as the home of the former royal family. The impressive and intricate Hawa Mahal, composed of pink and orange sandstone, helps give Jaipur its nickname "the pink city".
But Jaipur is more than just magnificent palaces and enchanting jewels. Its bustling bazaars, traditional handmade crafts and delicious street food truly embody the city's dynamic spirit. Jaipur is most vibrant during the annual celebration of Holi, an exuberant 'festival of colours' that heralds eternal love and the arrival of spring. Jaipur Splendor is a dazzling tour of this unique city.
