  Jantar Mantar - Jaipur

  Jantar Mantar is a UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It features a collection of large stone and marble instruments designed to measure time, track stars and predict eclipses with surprising accuracy. The most famous structure is the Samrat Yantra, a giant sundial that can tell the time within minutes. It’s a great place to see how science and architecture came together in 18th-century Jaipur.

  Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind

  Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds, is one of Jaipur’s most iconic sights. Its five-story façade is built with pink sandstone and shaped like a honeycomb, featuring hundreds of small windows that let cool air flow through the palace. It was designed so the royal women could watch street life and festivals while staying out of view. Today, it’s a popular spot for photos and a quick stop to admire Jaipur’s unique architectural style.

  Royal Gaitor Tumbas

  Royal Gaitor is a quiet and beautiful complex known for the marble cenotaphs of Jaipur’s former rulers. It sits at the base of the Nahargarh hills and is often less crowded, which makes it easy to take in the detailed carvings and peaceful surroundings. Each cenotaph reflects the legacy of the king it honors, with delicate pillars, domes and hand-carved patterns. It’s a good place to explore Jaipur’s royal history away from the busy city streets.

  Jal Mahal

  Jal Mahal, or the Water Palace, sits in the middle of Man Sagar Lake and is one of Jaipur’s most scenic landmarks. Its calm setting, with the Aravalli hills in the background, makes it a popular photo stop. Although visitors can’t go inside, the view from the lakeside is beautiful, especially at sunrise and sunset. The palace blends Rajput and Mughal styles and appears to float on the water, giving it a peaceful, almost magical feel.
