One of the most well-known places in India is Jaipur. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II founded the city in 1727, and it is known for its well-planned streets, magnificent palaces, ancient forts, lively markets, and characteristic pink architecture. For those with more time on their hands a Jaipur visit can be a good launching pad for Rajasthan tour packages from Jaipur to heritage towns or wildlife sites.
