Jaipur to Delhi
Jaipur's layout is based on 9 rectangular sectors representing divisions of the universe, so the city planning itself is interesting to notice as you move around. You'll visit Amber Fort from the 16th century, then see the Hawa Mahal with those distinctive screened balconies that let people watch street activity without being seen. The City Palace complex has museums and the Maharaja's residence to check out. You can browse local markets, gem and jewel shops, and carpet weaving factories where artisans work on their pieces. Later you'll drive to Delhi Airport (205 km, about 4 hours) for your departure.
