Jaipur Rajasthan Travel Guide

Jaipur as a tourist destination is best described as a rough gem. For those visitors who only briefly scratch the surface will leave disappointed or even disgusted from the dirt, constant hassle and extreme poverty that masks the city. Once beyond these all too apparent issues visitors will discover that Jaipur has so much to offer for the intrepid tourist, just be prepared and Jaipur will reward.

Many may ask why Jaipur is on the classic 3 stop tour of India if it is such a difficult destination to handle. The answer is simple, no other Indian city has such a variety of massive fornications, sumptuous palaces or religiously significant temples, it is just such a shame that so much is hidden below the grime and poverty.

Jaipur is a city that needs planning and organising before visiting; the slightest hesitation on the streets will attract the attention of touts, beggars and every person on the slightest commission run. The poverty of the city is some of the worst that India tries to hide from, and often just meters from unbelievable wealth and power of the Maharaja.

The pink city of Jaipur is not an easy tourist destination but is truly one of the greatest cities of India. Let us here at 2weekbackpack guide around this rough gem of a city helping you to find the hidden treasures while providing guides and assistance to deal with the negatives.
