Jaipur Day 1

We reached Jaipur early by 6am. Then we had a quick breakfast and went to our hotel. Finding a cab in the morning was a little difficult. There were cab drivers everywhere and they were asking sky rocket prices to the hotel. Thankfully my husband knew the route to the hotel and bargained for a nominal cost.

On reaching the hotel, we were really tired and sleepy. But we got ready quickly and headed out to see Jal Mahal. It was really pretty. By the time we reached the place, sun was shining brightly and the bright sunlight made the Jal Mahal glow. We could not go inside but watched it by the bridge and took pics.

Then we made our way to Hawa Mahal. This was one of the must see in our list. When we reached, there were few people there. We could peacefully start seeing the place. But within a while, it became very crowded. It was right in the middle of shopping area and we were seeing lot of options for shopping around it.

Then around lunch, we decided to try a local restaurant. There were less people there and food there was good. People around had suggested to try LMB. But we decided to try that the next day.

The rest of the day we spent shopping around Hawa Mahal and did a few purchases. But the early morning train travel had made us all exhausted and we retired back to our rooms early.
