Second trip to Jaipur. The first time, I came in winter and was surprised by the bitter cold. This time, it’s July. The temperatures are mild, 25-35 degrees Celsius, and the monsoon has begun; it’s just a little rainy.
The city lies on a continental plateau at an altitude of 430 meters. It is surrounded by the Aravali hills.
Jaipur is home to nearly 5 million people. The economy is based on three pillars: tourism, the textile industry, and information technology.
