Welcome to present-day Jaipur on this lively tour, which takes you beyond the iconic wonders of the Hawa Mahal, City Palace (a city within a city, with its ancestral treasures), and the bustling bazaars of deep antiquity. Beyond the ancient gates of the Walled City, modern-day Jaipur presents an enticing fusion of the past and the present, a paradise for selfie-takers and Instagram buffs.

The Albert Hall Museum, built in 1876, harks back to the colonial era with its Indo-Saracenic architectural lines. Architect Charles Correa applied the guiding principles of vastu shastra when designing the Jawahar Kala Kendra, a contemporary hub dedicated to promoting the arts. The elaborately structured Birla Mandir, built in 1988, is dedicated to Lord Vishnu as Narayan, and curiously features stained-glass images of saints and philosophers from other religions, including Christ, Buddha, Socrates, and Confucius.

No exploration of modern Jaipur is complete without a visit to Raj Mandir, the iconic art deco theatre that symbolizes Jaipur’s opulence and cinematic culture. Step into its lavish interiors and experience the magic of cinema in a setting that echoes the city’s timeless charm.

Jaipur’s culinary landscape is being revitalized by exciting new multi-cultural ventures. One highlight is the reinvention of traditional ingredients like millet, a staple in Rajasthani cuisine for centuries. Imagine a chef’s innovative twist, transforming millet into a refreshing salad—blending the old with the new in a delightful culinary experience.

Dive deeper into culinary innovation as you step away from ubiquitous mithai shops and craft your own chocolate using locally sourced ingredients—a sweet indulgence that reflects Jaipur's evolving gastronomic scene.

Immerse yourself in local artistry as you explore age-old art forms like block printing and blue pottery at captivating studios nestled in the heart of the city. Marvel at the seamless blend of tradition and modernity in this mesmerizing tour.
