Jaipur - The Pink City can be called as the most vibrant city of India. There is always something happening here, irrespective of the season and time of the year. Above all, it is not as huge and crowded as Delhi or Mumbai where going to a distant place can sound burdensome and the plans may go for a toss.
Yes, Jaipur has many things one should try and do. This time we bring out some experiences one can have in this majestic city.
AND YES!! We promise, they will all be unadulterated, authentic and non-fabricated experiences.
Up-Close with the artisans of the city: Jaipur has a long history and one of the chapters of this history is about - Gunijankhana. Gunijan-khana (Department of the talented people) housed 32 different types of art and crafts of the city ranging from jewelers, dyers, tailors, embroiders, leather workers and what not. There is a huge scope of meeting such artisans in their workshops and homes through Vedic Walks.
Walk around the old city: Walking tours are a must do activity if in the town. The opportunity of get an in-depth insight of the city, without making it look like a sight-seeing tour. In Vedic Walks, these tours are aimed at making you feel like a local and explore like a pro. A 2.5 to 3 hour encounter with the city will surely leave you with a great respect for it.
One always has the opportunity to hop in the inner lanes and from the authentic artisans who would never treat you like a tourist.
Eat with the local and learn their recipes: Food is one thing that brings people from all over the world to India. Getting an opportunity to eat and cook with them is one of the most enthralling experiences. Food can lead to conversations over any topic one can think of. This experience allows you to get to know the locals, their culture, their family life and many other things that they seem comfortable sharing with you.
Pamper yourself at well-being sessions: There are loads of well-being opportunities in the city for various needs. Take a walk in the Central Park or Smriti Van which are very centrally located and have great connectivity from all over the city. Or take a meditation and yoga session with a professional in a serene location or at the comfort of your hotel. There is also possibility of getting a nice Ayurvedic massage under the guidance of an experienced Ayurvedic Doctor.
Watch a Movie at Rajmandir: Hell Yeahh!! Is Rajmandir an overplayed stuff? Well let it be. It is an experience in itself. Above all Bollywood movies are really cool stuff.
The private museums: Jaipur has a a good number of very interesting private collection museums run and operated by passionate people who love and cherish their possessions. The Sanjay Sharma Museum is one of the most prominent one with fine collection of manuscripts as old as a thousand years. Alice Garg sea shells museum is a great private museum of sea shells collected from all over the world. Rajputana customs is a great place to check out vintage and custom bikes and also ordering choppers.
Well, we hope that is quite a lot of things to absorb for now.
We promise to come up with more such stories...
