Jaipur Pink City – THE ROYALS!

Planned by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, Jaipur holds the distinction of being the first planned city of India. Renowned globally for its colour pink, the capital city of Rajasthan. As of 2019, the Pink City is also a recognised UNESCO World Heritage Site. My Jaipur story began not with luxury, but with the discovery of our Indian roots and rich Rajasthani culture. Walking through the rosy lanes of the old city under the golden sunlight, breathing in ancient history at every step. From savoring street-side pyaz kachoris near City Palace to soaking in the sunset views from Nahargarh Fort, This city palette of culture and charm captured me instantly.

I planned my trip during mid-March, which locals say is warm but manageable. Booking early during this shoulder season helped lower airfare and accommodation costsPocket-Friendly stays (under rupees 2000-2500/night)I found great value in hostels and budget friendly hotels through platforms like GoIbibo and MakeMyTrip—rooms starting at ₹550/night in areas like MI Road and Bani Park. I personally book and check my flights on Skyscanner for all my trips including the internatonal trips as i recently visited Dubai costs.
