Rajasthan Dos and Don'ts

Jaipur is a typical Indian City, also termed as Pink City. Its famous as Pink City as old City was made with Red Stone. Its a good shoping Destination of traditional Rajasthani Clothes and items. Famous for its Near by Forts Jaigrah and Nargarh Forts. HawaMahal is also one good place to visit. Excuse the traffic and cleanliness of the city though.Check out Chokhi Dhani for good evening and traditional local culture. Good Hotels include Clarks Amer and Oberoi. Jal Mahal in night would be one good experience. For other details... mail me n ill let you know. :)

The shopping in Jaipur is amazing! I recommend traditional indian shoes, rugs, and hand stamp printing, all done by the local Rajasthan people.

travel light have lots of sunscreen anytime of year mineral water packed food some knowledge of hindi or get a local person who can translate n communictae with locals get important names written in 2 languges one yours other hindi

for those who love to wander around without a specific destination...

walking confidently or quickly through the pink city's markets will not save you from the trouble of shop owners/assistants striking up a general conversation, to invite you later at their shop or small workshop for a cup of tea, which practically means their trying to sell you something...

avoiding them has never worked provided that Indian's are naturally born vendors, skilled with the patience of a donkey...
so, an honest conversation while walking (most of the times they are willing to walk along with you for several blocks, talking constantly in your ear...)would do the trick..as soon as they realize that you are not willing to buy at all, then you get to hear the most interesting, first hand stories as well as bits pieces...

Go see that Rat Temple near Deshnok... it is almost unbelievable to see all those rats living together, and see how the locals venerate them!!! Apparently it is good luck if you spot a white one and defenetly good luck if one walks on your feet!!!
