Through Some Ancient Indian touch. Worth experience. Those who haven't been to RAJASTHAN are missing some serious Indian stories. ๐
I liked going to the city palace because it is extremly beautiful in its architecture and also not very much visited which makes a good place to conclude the day tour with.
City Palace, Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, is a palace complex in Jaipur, the capital of the Rajasthan state, India. It was the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, the head of the Kachwaha Rajput clan. The Chandra Mahal palace now houses a museum, but the greatest part of it is still a royal residence.
