Also known as ‘The Pink City’ for its brightly painted stone buildings, Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan and for many holidaymakers, forms one part of the ‘Golden Triangle’ multi-centre tour of India’s 3 most visited cities (Delhi and Agra being the other two). Jaipur is awash with magnificent forts and palaces, once inhabited by the powerful and wealthy Maharajas. The architecture is rich and spectacular and a trip to Jaipur has much to offer visitors.

Description
The Amber (or Amer) Fort which is situated on the top of a hill just outside the city should definitely feature on your ‘must-see’ list of things to do in the Jaipur area, the sound and light show after dark is a particular highlight. The Jaigarh fort is connected to the Amber Fort and was originally built to protect the Fort. It houses the world’s largest cannon on wheels. City Palace is another favourite spot for visitors. Located in the old city walls of Jaipur it has a fabulous museum containing items such as the costumes which belonged to the Maharaja and his harem. Another prominent sightseeing spot is the Hawa Mahal, a beautiful 5 storey palace built in 1799 and famous for its pyramid shape and 953 windows or ‘Jharokhas’ which facilitate free air circulation inside the building.
If you are planning your visit to Jaipur in March, you will be able to catch Jaipur’s annual Elephant Festival which features elephant races, elephant polo matches and elephant tug of war.
To watch the local crafts men at work, visit the Badi Chaupar and Johari old bazaar areas and pick up some local art such as Zardozi embroidery and silver ornament work. Be prepared for some hustle and bustle though!

This is the first time I have used this company and I am so pleased I found them. I couldn’t find any multi centre trips to Andalucia until I came across this company. It’s exactly what I wanted. From my first contact with them until I booked the trip I couldn’t fault them. Kelly was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend this company.

This is our 2nd time booking with Gavin. He organised our 1st teip to Thailand and now it is time to go to Vietnam. It is so easy and straightforward with him. He knows his stuff, recommends great places to go/see and is always after a great price for his clients. We will continue to book with eShores for custom made holidays.

It was the team photo on eShores website that drew me to them - real people, who might actually care about planning my trip. I chose well - Dave Felton listened to what I wanted, and amazingly managed to work to my budget! Couldn't be happier with my booked trip to Australia in October. Thank you Dave.

Hi. 10/10 Just booked our holiday via these guys. This was a highly recommended travel agent. So we contacted them. Told them what I wanted. They were able to beat all the quotes I was about to find. Always quick to get back to me. Will use these guys again.
