Panna Meena Stepwell
Venture off the beaten path to discover the Panna Meena ka Kund, a stunning 16th-century stepwell in Amer. This architectural marvel, built during Maharaja Jai Singh’s reign, served as a crucial water harvesting structure. Descend its mesmerizing symmetrical stairways and geometric patterns, an intricate design that local legend claims makes ascending the same stairs impossible. A photographer's dream and a history buff's delight, Panna Meena Stepwell offers a unique glimpse into Rajasthan's ingenious water management systems and artistic heritage.

Capture its reflection on the tranquil waters, a scene that embodies the romantic allure of Jaipur and has made it one of the city's most iconic landmarks. While access to the palace itself is restricted, its exterior view provides a breathtaking photo opportunity and a moment of serene contemplation.

Each cenotaph is dedicated to a specific ruler, allowing you to trace the lineage and artistic evolution of the Jaipur royal family in a tranquil and historically significant setting.
City Palace of Jaipur
Step into the heart of Jaipur's royal history at the City Palace, a magnificent complex that continues to be both a royal residence and a living museum. Explore the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum, housed within the palace walls, and discover a treasure trove of royal artifacts, costumes, and weaponry. Witness the seamless blend of Rajput, Mughal, and European architectural styles as you wander through its courtyards, gardens, and opulent halls, gaining insight into the lives and legacies of Jaipur's rulers.
Jantar Mantar – Jaipur
Journey through time and space at Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest astronomical observatories ever built. Marvel at the remarkable collection of stone instruments, constructed in the 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, designed to observe celestial events with incredible precision. Explore the Samrat Yantra (supreme instrument) and other ingenious devices, gaining a deeper appreciation for the scientific achievements of the past and the enduring quest to understand the cosmos.
Hawa Mahal – The Palace of Winds
Behold the iconic Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds, a five-story pink sandstone marvel built in 1799. Admire the 953 intricately carved windows (jharokhas) that allowed royal women to observe street life and festivals unseen, while also providing natural ventilation to keep the palace cool.
