Jaipur may be chaotic and congested, but it still holds a special place in travelers’ hearts, with its stunning hilltop forts, glorious palaces, and bargain-filled bazaars. The city is at its most brilliant at dusk, which is when it’s well worth walking to the famed and majestic Amer Fort.

Udaipur not only boasts scenic lakes and gorgeous forts, but also a rather diversified economy with significant contributions from tourism, trade and commerce. Besides these, the city is also an educational hub with three universities, six colleges and more than 160 high schools.
