On our first day in Rajasthan our itienary included the following:

1. the day started at 5:00 AM from Delhi via cab to Jaipur – 5 hour journey.
2. Visit Amber Fort before entering the Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan.
3. Visit  Jal Mahal in Jaipur.
4. Check in to our hotel room – rest for an hour
5. After an hour or so of resting we took off to Choki Dhaani, another fabulous restaurant just like Haveli in Punjab, that is preserving the folk culture of Rajasthan.

..sounds exhausting?!! well, it didn’t feel exhausting at all while we were travelling and to be honest our each day in India was pretty much the same full of multiple places to visit. But it’s funny now when I am going through the images on my computer & reminiscing I can’t believe how much we did each day..Anyways, here are some images from our day 1 in Rajasthan…

Our first stop in Rajasthan was the  Amber Fort, which is located in Amber, about 11 km. from Jaipur.

I am obsessed with details and as cliche as it sounds I am a true believer of the saying that “love is in the details”..I was just so fascinated with the all the intricate work on the ceilings, walls, etc. everything all hand painted with paint made out of precious gems hence the reason the colors have lasted centuries on these monuments.

the garden area..

Next stop: Jal Mahal (meaning “Water Palace”)
