City Palace, Jaipur
Located in the heart of the walled city, The City Palace Complex gives
you an idea about the far sightedness of the founder of Jaipur Sawai Jai
Singh. He left behind a legacy of some of the most imposing and magnificent
architecture, art and craft structure in the city. Jai Singh built the outer

Taragarh Palace, Bundi
It was built in 1345 and is great ramble around at leisure. This is
rather a ramshackle fort, with its overgrown vegetation. The view over the
town and surrounding countryside from the top are magical, especially at sun
set. Inside the ramparts are huge reservoirs carved out of solid rock, and
the Bhim Burj, the largest of the battle- fields, on which there is mounted
a famous cannon. Taragarh is reached by steep road leading up the hillside
to its enormous gateway.
