GLOSSARY

BB = Bed and Breakfast

FB= Full-Board basis (please check itinerary for specific includes & excludes per property)

Please Note: The new safari regulation being implemented by the park authorities has made it mandatory for all

registered safari vehicles of the park, whether privately owned or belonging to the lodges, be allocated to visitors

on a rostered basis. Thus, vehicles from our lodge cannot be any longer guaranteed for safaris but a vehicle from

the day’s roster from the common pool for vehicles will be used for the activity. This change is being challenged

in the courts but as of yet there is no conclusion on the lawsuit yet.

Hamida Banu Begum in 1562. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian

subcontinent and is located in Nizamuddin East. It was also the first

structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The complex was

declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

72.5m (237ft), the world's tallest brick minaret. Construction

The small estate of Shahpura, in Rajasthan, owes its origins to the long

struggle between the Sisodia Maharanas of Udaipur and the Mughal

power. Maharaj Sujan Singhji, grandson of Maharana Amrit Singhji,

entered the Mughals service under Shah Jahan. He rose to high rank and

distinguished himself in the Afghan campaigns. His services were

rewarded with the grant of the large jagir of Phulia, which he renamed

Shahpura, in honour of his patron. He died with five of his sons fighting

against Aurangzeb in 1658, leaving an infant grandson as his heir and

successor. However, his only surviving son, Daulat Singhji, succeeded

in wrestling control of the estates from his nephew in 1664.

Upon arrival check into Shahpura Bagh, a vast heritage estate (1630

AD). Situated midway between Jaipur and Udaipur (Rajasthan, India),

this was once the summer residence of the rulers of Shahpura and now

a fine heritage hotel.

seem to shy away from the approach of humans. Tucked between the

rugged Aravalli and Vindhya hills, the reserve also boasts a spectacular

landscape filled with border-strewn highland plateaus, lakes and rivers.

A hunting ground for the local maharajas until 1970, the park has since

become a refuge for hundreds of species of birds, mammals and

reptiles.

Upon arrival check in to Sher Bagh, a pioneering tented camp of 12

luxurious tents nestling on the borders of the world–renowned

Ranthambore National Park. Inspired by the safari encampments of the

1920s, preferred by Princes and Grand Seigneurs of the time, each tent

is furnished with 19th century 'Campaign Style' furniture and has all the

comforts you could wish for on safari. Sher Bagh was among India’s first

jewellery, lac bangles and other handicrafts in their workshops. At a

short distance is the Amber Fort Palace at Amber.

On arrival check in at Sujan Raj Mahal Palace , The Royal Standard of

the House of Amber still flutters above Rajmahal Palace, one of the

oldest and most treasured palaces in the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur. Only the

City Palace and the royal family’s private forts hold this distinction.

Home to the Maharaja of Jaipur, this exquisite royal palace is located

at the heart of Rajasthan’s bustling capital. An enclosed oasis, secluded

in verdant gardens, Rajmahal Palace is the repository of a celebrated

history. Tall bay windows, mirrored doors and meticulously appointed

interiors allow guests to be transported to a new era of 21st century

regal living. Conceived by H.H Sawai Jai Singh II as a private palace, a

garden retreat, built for his beloved wife, Chandra Kanwar Ranawat ji,

the daughter of the Maharana of Mewar, Rajmahal Palace has stood

witness to over two hundred and fifty years of history.

Day 9 –Jaipur

Breakfast is at the hotel.

After breakfast you will be taken for a visit to Amber fort.

Amber Fort: It was once the ancient citadel of the ruling Kachhawa clan

of Amber, before the capital was shifted to present day Jaipur. Amber

Fort is known for its unique artistic style, blending both Hindu and

Muslim (Mughal) elements, and its ornate and breathtaking artistic

mastery.

Also visit the Anokhi Museum of Hand-Block Printing within walking

distance of the Amer Fort. The Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing is

situated in a beautifully restored mansion, or haveli. Dedicated to the

history of hand printing, it features displays such as block printed

textiles, old photographs, antiquated wood and brass tools, and other

objects that provide a window into this ancient craft. The art of block

textile printing can be traced back centuries and is by far the oldest

form of textile printing. It was practised across the East by imprinting

various patterns onto textiles by means of chiselled wooden blocks.

Today, India is one of the largest producers and exporters of block

printed fabrics in the world. The museum also houses contemporary

textile works, featuring pioneering designs fashioned by talented

artisans. The structure in which the museum is housed was

carefully restored by expert craftsmen using traditional materials and

designs, earning a well-deserved UNESCO award for Cultural Heritage

Conservation.

Later, you will be taken for a tour of Jaipur city exploring City Palace,

marvelling at the ancient astronomical instruments in the Observatory

Tower and admiring the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds):

City Palace: A wonderful combination of Mughal and Rajput forms of

architecture, it is now partly a museum housing miniature paintings,

manuscripts, Mughal carpets, musical instruments, royal costumes and

weapons, giving invaluable insight into Jaipur's royal past.

Observatory Tower or the Jantar Mantar was built between 1728 and

1734 and it houses precise instruments for measuring “the harmony of

heavens”. Each instrument serves a particular function and gives an

accurate reading.

Hawa Mahal (Photo stop only): perhaps Jaipur’s most famous building;

the Hawa Mahal is the pink sandstone façade of a palace built for the

ladies of the harem by Sawai Pratap Singh. The façade contains 953

small casements under a huge curve, each with a balcony and crowning

Page 11: Luxurious Rajasthan India - andBeyond...Your journey culminates in Jaipur, the ethereal pink city, a fascinating mix of ancient forts, royal palaces and vibrant bazaars with modern

www.andBeyond.com Luxurious Rajasthan – 2019-20

arch. The windows enable cool air (Hawa) to circulate and the zenana

to watch processions below without being seen.

In the evening enjoy a visit to Dera Amer wherein you can spend some

time with the gentle Giant “The Asian Elephant” with dinner.

Dera Amer situated behind the hills of the famous Amer Fort is the ideal

location for outdoor recreational and adventure activities in very close

proximity to the city of Jaipur. The Camp is located at the foothills of

the Aravali Range and surrounded by the wilderness of a reserved forest

with no urban civilization in the vicinity, just a few hamlets housing the

local villagers occupied by farming on the their fields bordering a pretty

lake.

Day 10 –Jaipur / Delhi
