The most impressive view of the Hawa Mahal is from the outside, across the street - so be sure you see it from that angle if nothing else! The cost when we went was Rs.50 per person which I thought was a great deal. You get to walk all the way to the top of the palace, stopping at each... more

Lot of local friends from Jaipur suggested we skip Hawa mahal as it had nothing inside - no museums/exhibits/shops etc. Still whenever we passed by Pink CIty, it caught our attention. Just before returning from Jaipur, we stopped by. It was very well worth it. amazing structure, stained glass adornments inside were great. And wind was everywhere in the building. more

If you visit Jaipur you must of course the Palace of the Winds. Specially the front view of the palace is very magnificent. From the inside of the Palace you will also have a good view of Jaipur. The inside of the Palace is not much to talk about, but visit the nearby City Palace if you want to see... more
