Palaces and Elephants

Jaipur as an ancient city was surrounded and protected by Fort Amber, whose walls ran across the hills of the valley and whose palace graced the hillside. Today we rode to the Fort on Elephant back. A wonderful way take in the scenery on the way up the hill as you get a real sense of how life was in this ancient world.



Returning from the Fort with jeeps through narrow streets.


Our next stop was the City Palace, a beautiful and grand building in the centre of Jaipur. Then shopping was the order of the afternoon. India has such an abundance of fine fabrics with beautiful designs and colours.
