Ahmedabad Insider Tip

Ahmedabad is almost entirely vegetarian โ€” don't expect beef or pork. The old city's Pols (historic residential clusters) are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and best explored on foot.

Jaipur Insider Tip

The Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) is best seen at sunrise before the crowds โ€” the 953 latticed windows were designed so royal women could watch street processions without being seen, and in the right light the pink sandstone facade glows. The City Palace complex is still partially occupied by the Jaipur royal family. For jewellery, head to Johari Bazaar where certified gem dealers sell the precious stones Jaipur has been mining for 500 years โ€” the city is the world capital of gemstone cutting.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Ahmedabad Fun Fact

Ahmedabad was India's first UNESCO World Heritage City (2017). Mahatma Gandhi launched the Dandi Salt March from Sabarmati Ashram here in 1930 โ€” you can visit the ashram today.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ Jaipur Fun Fact

Jaipur was the world's first planned city with a grid layout and zone-based urban design when it was built in 1727 โ€” 40 years before Washington DC. The entire old city was painted pink in 1876 to welcome Prince Albert (later Edward VII) โ€” the colour stuck and gave Jaipur its eternal nickname. Jaipur's gem-cutting industry processes over $800 million worth of coloured gemstones annually, with over 25,000 artisans cutting everything from emeralds to rubies.
