Day 7: Jaipur
In the morning, enjoy an excursion to Amber Fort. Amber is a classic and romantic Rajasthani Fort Palace. The rugged, time-ravaged walls of the fort may not look impressive from the outside, but the interior is a virtual paradise. Miniatures painted on the walls depict hunting and war scenes, as well as festivals. Precious stones and mirrors are embedded into the plaster. Inside the Jag Mandir is the famed Sheesh Mahal—a room with all four walls and the ceiling completely embedded with glittering mirror pieces, which were specially imported from Belgium during that period. En route to Amber Fort, enjoy a brief photo stop at Hawa Mahal, the Palace of Winds.

In the afternoon, take a sightseeing tour of the city, starting with Maharaja’s City Palace, the former royal residence, part of which has been converted into a museum. A small portion is still used by the royal family of Jaipur. Built in the style of a fortified campus, the palace covers almost one-seventh of the city's area. One of the major attractions in the museum is the Armoury Museum, which houses an impressive array of weaponry, including pistols, blunderbusses, flintlocks, swords, rifles, and daggers once used by Jaipur's royal family. Later, visit the Jantar Mantar, the largest stone and marble observatory in the world. Situated near the gate of the City Palace, the observatory features 17 large instruments, many of which are still in working condition. Overnight stay at the hotel.
