Jaipur and its surroundings
Jaipur is located in Rajasthan doors. The town is nestled about 430 meters in the mountain range of Aravalli. Here I visit the Amber Fort and linger long before the facade of the Palace of Winds, Hawa Mahal said.
The Palace of winds :
The Palace of Winds in Jaipur is famous under the name Hawa Mahal and was built in 1799 at the request of a Maharaja. It allowed women of the harem to observe the street without being seen through countless windows present on the building facade. Its name comes from its design which allows the wind to circulate and thus cool the interior.
The Amber forteresse :
The fortress is located about ten kilometers from Jaipur; it rises above a small lake at the mouth of a mountain gorge. It is surrounded by a wall of about ten kilometers. It was built in the late 16th century.
The Jal mahal :
A palace in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur.
The City Palace Jaipur :
It is still occupied by the Maharaja and his family and consists of a multitude of courses and mansions which can not visit that part.
