Like all first timers in India, after Delhi and Agra I moved to Jaipur. This city can best be described as a paradise for photographers. Temples, palaces and forts all compete for every hour of the day, for every photo.

From the Amber fort (most of today’s photos are from there), Nahargarh fort to Jantar Matar (where I looked a lot for my Capricorn building…) and Hawa Mahal – Jaipur is the most amazing city I visited in India. Even on my next trip I would like to spend 1 or 2 days here. The downside to so many monuments to fit in a tight time frame (2 days) is that I ran a lot inside the palaces and forts. More so as the first day was “wasted” on Holi – most of the monuments are closed, and walking the streets is somewhat fraught with peril.

Here is a short gallery with photos from the Amber fort.
