After breakfast, visit the hillside Amber Fort, the ancient capital of the state; unique elephant ride (or Jeep ride for alternation) ascent to the fort is full of unbeatable view and fun; inside you'll experience the kingly palaces incl. the Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors).
Drive back to the 'pink city' of Jaipur and stop at facade of the famous Hawa Mahal (Palace of the Winds) and your tour guide shows you the best angle for a perfect picture.

Drive through the pink rose residential & business areas before you are escorted back to the hotel.
Tips: If you take an elephant ride in Amber Fort, do bring along a sunhat with you and be careful for the hard sell from hawkers all along the way - it's strongly suggested to just ignore them completely if you have no interest to buy; don't talk to them, no 'no thanks' either.
