INDIA | DAYS 11-12

Jaipur and the Amber Fort

After we say goodbye to one of the world’s most poetic
monuments, we board our private plane for a short journey to
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan — India’s most colorful state.
But it’s what lies beyond the city limits, amid the arid hill
country, that you have come to explore. The 17th-century
Amber Fort is a fairy-tale-like palace of red sandstone and
marble that is nothing short of breathtaking.

Rajasthan is home to six forts, but none as majestic as the
Amber Fort. The opulent palace is laid out on four levels,
each with a courtyard. The architecture bears testimony
to the power of the Rajput princely states that flourished
in the region from the 8th to the 18th centuries. Your private
plane has transported you to a new place and a new time
to experience a truly unique culture in human history.
