	Monsoon Do’s
	The perfect holiday spot, especially at this time of the year, Jaipur was the first well planned and designed city of India. The name Pink City is attributed to the fact that the entire city is coloured in a special shade of pink. It is rightly a mysterious city and a marvelous mix of modern and traditional. You’ll find here palaces, forts, gardens, museum, monuments, amusement parks, restaurants, bars, hotels, shopping malls, handicrafts, jewelry and garment markets, food markets, multiplexes et all. The climate is extreme and tropical and the rains start arriving mid-July. Though rainfall is quite scanty here, the temperature definitely takes a dip. Hence, if you are looking for a respite from the incessant rains of the other regions of the country, this would be a good time to visit the Pink City!
