Introduction
In the month of March last year we travelled to the City of Palaces in Western India - Jaipur. The trip was 2night and 3day stay at Hotel Trident.
22nd Mar 09 (Day 1)
8AM - We took a flight from Hyderabad - Jaipur and landed by 10AM
10AM - A car was already there from hotel to pick us up. We decided to look through few places before proceeding to hotel:
- City Palace
- Hawa Mahal
- Jantar Mantar
It took us almost 2.5 to 3 hours to cover these places.
1230PM-2PM - We stopped at a restaurant to treat ourselves to local cuisine and then headed to the Hotel Trident. We were received very warmly and shown to our room. This was pretty comfortable with balcony opening to the garden. We rested a while and then planned to continue with our tour.
3PM - 7PM - We started on a visit to Nahargard Fort. On way we were shown a spot where a scene of the Rang De Basanti was shot.
End of the day - With dinner at room.
