The fascinating Jantar Mantar in Jaipur



Built by Maharaja Jai Singh II at his then new capital city of Jaipur between 1727 and 1734, the Jantar Mantar is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A true marvel!

The Swimming Pool with the million dollar view!!

And if the bathtub room ain't enough, the view from the pool at Samode Palace is rather interesting too, wouldn't you say???

The bathroom with a difference!!!

“The sensitively restored Samode Palace is one of the finest gems in the bejewelled crown of Rajasthan's royal abodes.” Elle Decor

Who are we to disagree with Elle!!! But what we loved was the bathtub in the room..Such a super idea!!!! :-)

Devi Ratn!

The sparkly bright red lobby...

Each room at Devi Ratn is uniquely designed!


The bright blue game cupboard room!
The uber-cool Devi Ratn will soon become THE place to stay in Jaipur. We loved the sparkly colours, the bold architecture, the delicious cocktails...we could go on and on and on...

Rambagh Palace, Jaipur


You don't need a Thesaurus for the term 'Decadent Opulence' just say Rambagh Palace instead!! The stunning interiors, food and wine menu and the warm staff make sure you have the time of your life -- highly recommend this hotel in Jaipur!

Amber Fort, Jaipur and an elephant

What a lovely trip on elephant back upto the stunning Amber Fort in Jaipur! Elephants are such gentle, magnificent creatures and Jaipur sure looks beautiful from the top!

Outside the City Palace, Udaipur

He might not be in the audio guide or any book, but this is a photo of the gorgeous horse who is called 'Whitey' (no surprise there, eh!) and lives contentedly at the City Palace Stables. He loves being petted on the neck and take some lumps of sugar for him whenever you are in Udaipur! :-)
