24 Hours In Indian Cities

Jaipur

Laid back yet vibrant, the pink city is a delight

BEST TIME TO VISIT IS NOV TO FEB

With touches of old-world grandeur in its forts and Havelis, secrets in its desert, different cultures, cuisines, and identities make Rajasthan anything but boring. And to get a glimpse of it all, head to the Pink City Jaipur. Get a calorie-loaded start to your day at Rawat ki Kachori and later, to burn those off, take a complete guided tour of the City Palace. Post the royal tour, fulfill your love for handicrafts and handlooms — vibrant prints in Bapu Bazaar, exquisite jewelry in Johari Bazaar, blue pottery, juttis, bags, mirror work products, and more, all at a walking distance from the Hawa Mahal. For a tranquil evening head to the Jal Mahal and spend some time under the twilight sky. And to end the night, head for a hearty meal in the form of a Rajasthani thali.

Did you know that four floors of the jal mahal are submerged in the water?

Jharkhand

Richly endowed with biodiversity, history and culture, the state is a delight

BEST TIME TO VISIT IS OCT TO MARCH

THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE in Naples is Diego Maradona. His face appears as graffiti on the walls under bridges, as murals covering the side of buildings, painted on café chairs, imprinted on bedroom sheets, and even marketed on energy drinks.
