For me it was the third trip to Jaipur but my wife was visiting this city for the first time and hence we had a plan to visit the main attractions of this city, abound with a rich heritage, tightly squeezed between our social commitments. There was also a small matter of our first anniversary which we were about to celebrate in this royal city!



Jaipur is also a city which loves its snacks, very similar to my previous base Indore where the day used to begin with a dose of poha and jalebi for majority of the city dwellers. Here in Jaipur they have the “Misthann Bhandars”, which seem to have a fixation for abbreviations. So you would call Lakshmi Mishthann Bhandar as “LMB” or you can choose to go to “DMB” or Doodh Mishthann Bhandar .While travelling through the city I also managed to notice a place called as KMT Tadka or in other words Khatta Meetha and Teekha tadka. All these stores with their abbreviated names serve the famous and the delicious Pyaaz Kachori of Jaipur. However as the conviction stands here, Raavat’s serves the best Pyaaz Kachori in the city .We did have one while on our way to the Amber Fort!




Jaipur stands for its royalty, historic monuments and the folklore which comes along with such a heritage ,however it is also a city where you would want to spend time understanding its culture, craft and delighting yourself with an amazing cuisine.
For me it will always be the place which gave me an unimaginable evening on my first anniversary!
