6 places worth your time in Jaipur, with what each is actually like and when to go.
A hillside fort-palace of sandstone and marble above Maota Lake, with a mirrored hall that lights from a single flame.
A five-storey screen of 953 windows built so palace women could watch the street unseen.
Still partly the residence of the royal family, with courtyards, an armoury and two enormous silver urns made for carrying Ganges water to England.
Eighteenth-century masonry astronomical instruments, including the largest stone sundial in the world, accurate to two seconds.
On the ridge above the city, and the place to watch the pink city turn gold at sunset.
A symmetrical stepwell near Amber, all criss-crossing staircases and no crowds.
