Jaipur -The Pink City is India's prime tourist spot. Foreigner throughout the world visit Jaipur city for its rich heritage and culture. It would take a minimum of 15 days to see entire Rajasthan (if not more) So rather than just rushing through most cities we decided a trip to Jaipur for 2 nights (weekends).
From Mathura to Jaipur there are plenty of trains available (superfast trains)
Day 1 : Our train was early in the morning
Train Name : Mathura -Jaipur Special : It reached Jaipur at 1.30 pm.
We checked in to Hotel Gangaur RTDC | you can take auto from the railway station,takes around 15min and the charge was 60 Rs.
We made booking in advance as it is very tough to get RTDC rooms in Rajasthan specially this one.

Gangaur had resturant service too named as Gauri.There food was very simple and delicious. After checking in we went for lunch!
As we didn't have any plans on that day (evening ) we decided to visit Choki Dhani.
It is a must visit place for people who is visiting Rajasthan for the very first time.
You can enjoy rides on camel and elephant, get glimpse of how bangles are made , Rajasthani Art and culture and the famous Rajasthani Dance! You can also shop for beautiful Rajasthani Souvenir but the items were extremely pricey!!!. You can get the same thing at the local Rajasthani Market at half the price but yes you need to have good bargaining skills. Johari Bazar, Choti Chopar and Badi Chopar are the best street shopping area in Jaipur.Dont forget to gift yourself some precious stones when you are at Jaipur.
The main thing you need to do at Chokhi Dhani is to try out their mouth watering Rajasthani Food.
The Traditional Rajasthani style dining cost around 500 rs Adult and 350 for children.
Royal Rajasthani Dining in An AC room cost around 700 rs Adult and 500 for children ( depends on the height of the children)
We got the ticket for the dinner (the Royal Rajasthani Dinning), I dont know how much ghee and butter I consumed on that day. I could see ghee and butter driping from every single food and it was heavenly!!! You will surely get a foodgasm ! The people who were serving the food will serve you as many times you want to so dont be shy! It was 10 when we completed our dinner. The day was well spent, and as we have more sightseeing to be done the next day we decided to go back to our hotel .
