The land where tourists are worshipped!

A lot of people from all over the world choose Jaipur to get married and this itself explains a lot about the city's hospitality. Jaipur has been a tourist destination for very long now. Even in the ancient days, there were a lot of travellers who came to Jaipur from different parts of the world, some to explore it while some for trade purposes. Since then the people of Jaipur have developed a sense of amicability and are very very hospitable. It seems to be in their blood to take care of tourists. You will always find them having their hands folded quite a lot of times as a sign of respect to their guests. They actually consider their guests to be holding a stature of God, that is why there are very fewer cases of tourist harassment from Jaipur.

Not everybody is born with royal blood and in them and thus are not entitled to royal treatments. But it is everybody's dream to get to live a royal's life at least for a day in their lifetime. This is where the state of Rajasthan comes in picture. Yes, it does cost a lot at times to live like a royal, but it is absolutely worth it as it gives a wonderful experience. This is why a lot of Palaces have been converted into heritage hotels in Jaipur by the Royal families to let the common men have that experience once!

Culture, food, life in Jaipur

When it comes to culture, no other place can beat Jaipur, and where there is culture, there has to be great food prepared and relished since ages. Jaipur is a heaven for fine dining. The most famous food of Jaipur is the amazing 'dal baati churma'. Along with it, there are many lassi walas having century-old shops and lassi from one of these is a must! A dessert named 'Ghewar' is very popular in the city and actually tastes heavenly. To taste the authentic Rajasthani food one can choose from the plethora of options available. One such famous shop is the 'Laxmi Mistann Bhandar', commonly known as LMB in the pink city. This shop is around 100 years old and has become a tourist location now! Chokhi Dhani is another great place to visit to experience, not just the food, but also true Rajasthani traditions.

The lifestyle in Jaipur is quite developed too. There are a lot of cafes, restaurants, clubs and bars apart from traditional eating places. The nightlife of Jaipur is quite happening too. There are numerous places where one can choose to stay. From 5-star hotels to amazing hostel chains like Zostel, Jaipur has it all. 

Overall Jaipur is a great destination to spend your vacation at, but there are certain things one must keep in mind when travelling here. If travelling with a child who is a student, his/her ID can be carried, as almost at all the places owned by the Government, the tickets are heavily subsidised for students. Secondly, since it is a very famous and big tourist destination, some shops sell products at overpriced rates. It is better to negotiate and get prices checked by someone local like your hotel staff or driver etc. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes as a lot of palaces are at hilltops, so wearing heels or uncomfortable footwear might cause some problems.
