Jaipur, the capital of northern Indian state of
Rajasthan is one of the most visited cities of the country. Known as
the 'pink city', Jaipur preserves a myriad of legacies belonging to
the mighty Rajput rulers and aristocratic princes of the past. Pink
may be the predominant
colour of this place's landscape, but Jaipur is actually a riot of
colours with magnificent palaces, majestic forts, well laid gardens,
revered temples and spirited people. Entire Jaipur is surrounded by
an ancient 20 feet wall having eight gates.
Jaipur experiences typical desert climate. Summers are very hot with
temperatures remaining upwards of 40 degrees during the season. The
place is mostly dry as rainfall is scarce. The winter months are
cool and pleasant. The temperatures begin to drop from October
onwards and remains so till about March.
