DHUNDHAR CIRCUIT

Jaipur - Samode - Ramagarh - Dausa
Jaipur, the Pink City and Rajasthan's colourful capital, is full of things to see and do. DIWAN-I-AAM, GANESH POL, SHEESH MAHAL, SUKH NIWAS, JAIMANDIR, MAN SINGH PALACE AND SHILA DEVI temple are some of the places that you should not miss.

When you enter the city, the first major monument that greets you is the spectaclar HAWA MAHAL, or the Palace of Winds that provides some excellent views of the streets from its fifth storey. Located just behind it are JANTAR MANTAR, the unique observatory built by the founder of Jaipur - Sawai Jai Singh and the CITY PALACE with its fabulous musuem that displays some of the most amazing treasures held by the Jaipur royal family.
Forty kilometres to the north is the popular SAMODE with its fairytale palace that has some of the most exquisite mirror work and frescoes. To the east is the resort of RAMGARH with its huge artifical lake and cottage where you can spend a quiet weekend.
