About Jaipur for Solo Travelers
The Pink City and gateway to Rajasthan — a riot of rose-hued palaces, hilltop forts, bazaars piled with textiles and spices, and rooftop cafés overlooking the old walled city. Jaipur is colour, chaos and royal grandeur in equal measure, and endlessly rewarding for the curious solo traveller.
