Exploring The Pink City Jaipur - Part 1

in Worldmappin4 years ago (edited)


P.S this post consists of images from my phone only (Portraits In Majority) and 1-2 images from the DSLR


Well This Was My Itinerary For The First Day:



1) Breakfast At Curious Life Coffee

2) Exploring Albert Hall Museum

To start off with this place is not allowed professional photography equipment inside so I had to depend on my phone which is really sad. Also a lot of places such as this have an entry fee which is Rs 50 for Indians and a bit higher for foreigners, it's actually a lot higher for foreigners in this place as well as other places which kind of sucks but I doubt it would be expensive for you guys when you converted into Indian rupees (I Guess 😂 That Value Is Just Pricy For Indians)

Oh and places like this historical places they have tour guides set up which is again at an affordable cost for Indians which also is important if you'd like to know a lot about the history of the place. I didn't opt for a tour guide though.

So next up pieces out of 1 million pieces on exhibit that I found quite interesting and I would like to share with you minus the description because I didn't go for a guide and plus that would be a lot of description to give out about each piece because each of them are extremely unique and I can't imagine it's price, They aren’t for sale but I am pretty sure these are priceless I mean they are ancient ASF.

There's quite a bit of Cutlery & Pottery in this place that interested me and here or some of the images

3) Lunch At Townsend Bar & Kitchen

Well after a tiring day this was the closest place to me sort-off so I decided to head down here for a drink and some good lunch. Sadly it was the 26th of January which was Indian Republic Day hence it was a dry day in the state meaning NO ALCOHOL which sucked for me.

Here's what I had;

  1. London Fish & Chips - Rs 400
  2. Cucumber Mint Spritzer - Rs 250
  3. Tiramisu - Rs 350

Okay so this is an iconic bazar in Jaipur and you’ll find a lot of amazing things here but before I went to the bazar the locals informed me that Bapu Bazar is also called as Daku Bazar (Loosely Translates To Thieves Market 😂) yeah I knew I wasn’t gonna take my camera out here so I don't have any pictures of this place but here are some from google 🙈

So the Hawa Mahal is said to resemble the crown of the Great Lord Krishna and was built in the year 1799 oh and this place is also known as palace of winds. This place used to be a summer retreat for the Jaipur Royals during that time period

This place as well had an entry fee of Rs 50 for Indians
