STAY

A luxury guest house.  Beautifully designed this is a wonderful mix of new and traditional.

EAT

Cafe Palladio

An absolute oasis of calm in amongst all the wonderful colour and sounds of the city.  Best place for tea.

Jaipur Modern

A global menu, so everyone is happy.  Supporting local farming communities, Jaipur Modern is associated with organic farming initiatives.

You can also shop here at the same time - some real gem items from clothing to Homewares.

DRINK

Bar Palladio

Even if you only drink a lime soda its worth the trip just to gawp at the stunning designs.

MUST INCLUDE

Phool Mandi Flower Market, at bottom of Hawa Mahal Road

Get up and go before breakfast, its a delicious and inspiring feast for the eyes.  

A visit to Bagru where I work with my printers.  There are lots of workshops you can partake in there.

A walk through the back streets behind the Hawa Mahal, off the tourist trail, where real life goes by. So many inspiring doors and sights to see.
