Tourist Trap: Palace of Winds (Hawa Mahal), Jaipur
  • Tip Rating:
  • The image of this building's facade is instantly associated with Jaipur. . .unfortunately there isn't much more to it. The Hawa Mahal is only as deep as a room or large hallway. . .it doesn't extend into a palace or complex, so the best part about it really is the view that you've seen already in so many photos.

    This place, above any other in Jaipur, was overrun with tourists. . .it also has a very heavy traffic flow in front of it, which makes for a dangerous combination.

    At Least Do This: The bazaar area of Japiur and the Amber Fort both make this city a destination that shouldn't be missed. . .just don't set high expectations on the Hawa Mahal. If you won't be able to visit the Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, I would check out that site in Jaipur as well. . .

     Very nice page about this great country.

     The stares are not intended to be anything more than that. When one stands out in a crowd, people stare surreptitiously in North America. Not so in India or other countries. They simply don't bother to mask their curiosity. It's never meant to be rude.
