Jaipur is the capital of India’s Rajasthan state. It evokes the royal family that once ruled the region and that, in 1727, founded what is now called the Old City, or “Pink City” for its trademark building color. Jodhpur is a city in the Thar Desert of the northwest Indian state of Rajasthan. Its 15th-century Mehrangarh Fort is a former palace that’s now a museum, displaying weapons, paintings and elaborate royal palanquins (sedan chairs).

Where to Stay in Jaipur and food

We stayed at "The Orion" which is very near the railway station on Devi Marg, Sen Colony, Bani Park. Hotel was Ok, not that great to stay for long. Normally visitors who come to Jaipur for 1-2 days work stay here. Food mainly the breakfast and Lunch was OK. Nothing great but for 1-2 days, it's fine.
