Things to do in Jaipur.
The Pink City's royal circuit: Amber's hilltop fort above its lake, the Hawa Mahal's latticed facade, Jai Singh's giant observatory, and the City Palace where Jaipur's royal family still lives.
Amber Fort
The great hilltop palace-fort of the Kachhwaha rajas, above Maota Lake: the mirrored Sheesh Mahal, painted gateways and ramparts that run over the ridges like a smaller Great Wall.
How to book: Entry tickets are sold on Klook with an optional guide, and at the gate. Open daily; arrive before the tour buses for the courtyards in peace.

The palace of winds of 1799: a five-storey pink facade of 953 latticed windows, built so the royal women could watch the bazaar below unseen, and now Jaipur's defining image.
How to book: Entry tickets are sold on Klook with an optional guide, and at the door. The museum inside climbs to a ramped top floor with the city's best old-town view.

Sawai Jai Singh's observatory of giant masonry instruments, the largest of his five across India: a 27 metre sundial that reads time to two seconds, built in the 1730s and still accurate.
How to book: Entry tickets are sold on Klook with an optional guide. Open daily; a guide makes the instruments legible and is worth the small fee.
Search tickets and toursvia KlookCity Palace Jaipur
The palace complex at the old city's heart, part museum and part royal residence: the four seasonal doors of the Pritam Niwas courtyard, the armoury, the textile gallery and the Chandra Mahal beyond.
How to book: Museum entry is ticketed at the gate; the palace is a headline stop on Klook's full-day Jaipur tours, which pair it with Amber Fort, the Hawa Mahal and the Jantar Mantar.
