There is something magical about the air of the Pink City, grandeur of its forts, and aroma of its food. You cannot help but fall in love with its royalty. Education and work obligations have taken me away from Jaipur, but I return to my hometown at the first opportunity. Every trip to Jaipur includes papaya shake at Bagadiya Bhavan, masala chai at Tapri and the many Jaipur attractions.

Here are ten reasons/ Jaipur attractions that win over every traveller.

1: Nahargarh Fort

2: Choki Dhani
