Jaipur in 24 Hours, Jaipur, India

About two hundred and eighty kilometers southwest from India鈥檚 capital New Delhi, is Rajasthan (literally translated into Land of The Kings), the capital of which is Jaipur. It was to this city that I went and after 24 hours (exactly) in this city, absorbing, along with the summer heat, much of the history, food and great people, I still hunger for more.

Every moment spent here has an interesting story attached to it. I also learnt that Jaipur was India鈥檚 first planned city, built way back in the eighteenth century by聽Sawai Jai Singh. Today, Jaipur is far ahead in town planning and infrastructure as compared to the rest of the country and hygiene standards is quite commendable.

If you are visiting in summer, bear in mind that the heat can be very intense 鈥� so carry a hat, apply sunscreen generously and drink plenty of water.
