It’s also a popular spot amongst other locals and photographers. The gate is hand painted in a traditional style and perfectly showcases the characteristics of Rajasthan.

We went at around 7.30am – 8am and found that there were already a few other photographers around.

There are a variety of Jaipur accommodation options in many different areas and also ranging in price. We decided to stay in Bani Park which is the most popular area for tourists to stay in Jaipur. If you are traveling around India by train, then we also recommend trying to stay within a close distance to the train station to make it easier.
