Jaipur Reviews

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
My favourite eating joint was the Hotel in the Jaigarh fort. Surprisingly, every person that I spoke to informed me that the place was damn expensive and simply not worth going to. Not only was it economical, the food was lip smacking! Don't miss it!

Activities & things to do
Jaipur has plenty to see and do. In addition to the usual Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, City Palace, Amer Fort, Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh Fort - Take a cycle rickshaw ride of the city, walk the shopping areas of Bapu market, Johri Bazar, Nehru market. Eat at least one meal at the Hotel at Jaigarh fort - you'll not regret it. Do not go to LMB resturant - its all hype and no substance and over priced at that.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
Jaipur is an extremely tourist friendly place for foreigners, not so for Indians. So be mentally prepared. Credit Card machines do not work if you are an Indian, so carry sufficient cash. For Handicrafts - do visit the Rajasthali only on Ajmeri Gate. The other Rajasthali's are not govt run. The one on Ajmeri gate has a eye popping collection of handicraft. If you are the bargaining type, go to Johari Bazar or the Market opp Hawa Mahal. Keep in mind that the prices quoted are atleast 2 times more than the actual price, so bargain to your hearts content.
