	Monsoon Ideas
	Jaipur is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the desert state of Rajasthan. Counted as the first planned city in India, Jaipur is almost entirely covered in pink, just rendering it its name – Pink City. Jaipur is a fine mix of the modern and traditional and its streets and lanes are lined with a number of palaces, markets, shopping malls, hotels and restaurants. Jaipur enjoys a rather tropical climate all through, so avoid visiting it in summer when the heat is at its peak – rather, winters are the best time to visit this beautiful city. The rainfall here is rather scarce, though a few short spells reduce the temperature considerably. Thus if you’re looking for a comfortable holiday amidst traditions, Jaipur can be visited during monsoons.


	Things to see & do
	City Palace: Begin your journey here with the City Palace. This palace is a part of Jaipur’s glorious past and till today houses the royal family. The other part of the palace, which is open to public has a museum and gallery that displays some of the most amazing artifacts, paintings and artworks. Jantar Mantar: Another extremely remarkable structure built the founder of Jaipur, it is one of the biggest and best preserved observatory complete with the instruments, once used to measure the astronomy. Albert Hall & Museum: It is a beautiful royal hall surrounded by lush green gardens and lawns, located just outside the city. This museum has on display a rich collection of art, paintings, carpets, ivory, stone and metal sculptures and colourful crystal works. Hawa Mahal: The most defining feature of this city is the Hawa Mahal or the Palace of Winds. It is a part of the City Palace and was built for the royal ladies to have glimpses of the royal processions and market activates. Forts: The land of towering forts, Jaipur has a large number of them that dot its landscape. The Jaigarh Fort is made of extensive walls and is home to a huge cannon called Jai Ban.
