Your full day adventure begins in the ancient city of Amer as your jeep passes through the first of many gates leading up to the mountaintop Amber Fort. A guided tour of this 16th century Rajput fortress demonstrates the wealth and power of the ruler as you explore temples, mirrored chambers, public halls, private palaces, and look out over the surrounding hills and valleys.

In the afternoon visit the early 18th century City Palace and Museum, still the glittering home to the descendants of the last Maharaja of the princely state of Jaipur. From the palace gates, a walking tour of the Jaipur bazaar gives you a chance to haggle for any number of the colourful handicrafts and textiles that flow from shops into the street. A final stop at Jaipur’s most distinctive landmark, the Palace of the Winds is a perfect ending to an extraordinary day.
