Image
All these years i have been watching Ranthambore on television only , i have seen valmik thapar and fatesingh share their experiences , i have seen machli hunting crocodile , sita and her cubs but never could visit the park my self until now and thanks to my sister who decided to marry in jaipur. This was my second visit to the pink city , on my first visit i was carrying a 5 mp point and shoot digital camera , my first one , this time i was upgraded. This blog is about the city of royals and my experiences in jaipur and ranthambore national park. Jaipur  Jaipur is probably the oldest planned city established by Maharaja Jai Singh and was painted pink ( not exactly pink but thats what dumb prince thought it is ) to welcome prince of wales. Jaipur since year 1050 till date has been ruled by more than 40 kings and the capital has been shifted from dosa to amer to jaipur. The old city is well planned in those days with tall walls and 9 gates , city has expanded beyond these walls
