Overview
Jaipur, the Pink City, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and was India's first planned city, laid out on a grid pattern inspired by Vastu Shastra principles. The entire old city was painted terracotta pink in 1876 to welcome Prince Albert and has maintained that colour ever since, earning it UNESCO World Heritage City status in 2019. The Hawa Mahal's 953 small windows were designed so royal women could observe street festivals without being seen, and the Jantar Mantar observatory houses the world's largest stone sundial at 27 metres tall. The road from Mumbai to Jaipur stretches 1155 km via NH 48 via Ahmedabad → Udaipur → Ajmer → Jaipur, or NH 48 to Delhi → NH 48 to Jaipur, a comfortable 18-20-hour drive that many travellers find enjoyable. A dedicated cab from Mumbai to Jaipur with Miles Tours combines affordability with comfort — sedans start from just ₹12/km for round trips.
NH 48 via Ahmedabad → Udaipur → Ajmer → Jaipur, or NH 48 to Delhi → NH 48 to Jaipur DelhiHistory & Significance
Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II when he moved the capital from the cramped hill fortress of Amber to the plains below. The city was designed by Bengali architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya on a grid system, making it one of the earliest planned cities in modern India. The Kachwaha Rajputs who ruled Jaipur maintained a diplomatic alliance with the Mughals, which brought architectural and cultural exchange visible in the city's blend of Rajput and Mughal styles.
