Jaipur, Rajasthan’s capital, is an enthralling historical city and the gateway to India’s most flamboyant state.
The city’s colourful, chaotic streets ebb and flow with a heady brew of old and new. Careering buses dodge dawdling camels, leisurely cycle-rickshaws frustrate swarms of motorbikes, and everywhere buzzing autorickshaws watch for easy prey. In the midst of this mayhem, the splendours of Jaipur’s majestic past are islands of relative calm evoking a different pace and another world.
At the city’s heart, the City Palace continues to house the former royal family; the Jantar Mantar, the royal observatory, maintains a heavenly aspect; and the honeycomb Hawa Mahal gazes on the bazaar below. And just out of sight, in the arid hill country surrounding the city is the fairy-tale grandeur of Amber Fort, Jaipur’s star attraction.
The strategic location of the city can be felt, when you will move out to its periphery through the mountains and forests, creating the natural barriers. Such as, Bharatpur, which is famous for its wonderful UNESCO–listed Keoladeo Ghana National Park, a wetland and significant bird sanctuary. Apart from the park, Bharatpur also has a few historic vestiges, and cultural events like boisterous and colourful Brij Festival just prior to Holi celebrations. The entrance to Keoladeo Ghana National Park lies 2km to the south of Bharatpur’s centre.
Ranthambhore is another famous national park, which is the best place to spot wild tigers in Rajasthan. Comprising 1334 sq km of wild jungle scrub hemmed in by rocky ridges, at its centre is the 10th-century Ranthambhore Fort. Scattered around the fort are ancient temples and mosques, hunting pavilions, crocodile-filled lakes and vine-covered chhatris (burial tombs). The park was a maharajas’ hunting ground until 1970, a curious 15 years after it had become a sanctuary.
Seeing a tiger is partly a matter of luck; leave time for two or three safaris to improve your chances. But remember there’s plenty of other wildlife to see including more than 300 species of birds. It’s 10km from Sawai Madhopur (the gateway town for Ranthambhore) to the first gate of the park, and another 3km to the main gate and Ranthambhore Fort.
