The Amber City
I did not have much expectations for Jaipur as I have heard about it from different friends in the past and decided to visit. This city did not disappoint me at all……The sites were great, but also looking at people and the thousands of Langurs and Rhesus Macaques running around was a great way to spend my time:
The People around Jaipur
Jaipur has to be one of the most colorful cities I have ever been to with the people adorning all kinds of colors and types of clothing
The sites including the Amer Fort with the palaces and fortifications are amazing. Most people take elephant rides up to the top but I decided that car and stopping along the way was the best route to take. The Fort is adorned with so much artwork and extravagance it will amaze anyone.
The City Palace was another amazing place which has been around since the British Colonization time.
The Water Palace is a palace that sits in the middle of a lake, while I did not travel to this palace the area on the mainland has perfect places for pictures and a nice area to people watch.
A little known tourist attraction called Monkey Temple in English is a place where many Hindus go to bathe as a ritual. The reason why it is called Monkey Temple is because of the hundreds of monkeys that inhabit the place. See below for the Monkeys…
