Admire a distinctive pink sandstone facade and ornate architecture at Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind, the city's most recognizable landmark. Rising five stories above the street below, the 18th-century palace features an array of cupolas, verandas, and balconies attached to the royal residence. As you wander the hallways and rooms within, you'll be treated to the same view enjoyed for centuries by the women of the royal family. Forbidden from being seen in public, the women peaked at the outside world from behind the palace walls. Bring your camera to snap images of the royal grounds and the nearby market. Put Hawa Mahal - Palace of Wind on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Jaipur trip itinerary app.

  • Beautiful Hawa Mahal in the middle of the city. Must visit.. There's beautiful views of the city as u climb up the palace floors.You can a beautiful view of its rear from the street. There are 4 floors, all were designed for some specific purpose.also hear sunset views was awesome. From the top, you can overlook the city. The middle floors has colorful lattice windows
  • Hawa Mahal is the heart of Jaipur city.... Beautiful, symmetric and mesmerizing !!! Are situated in the main city and is thus generally crowded, especially in the evening. It has been a year since I visit at this palace. And I'm still in a hangover of this beautiful palace. The entry fees is rupees 50 per head. And you are allowed cameras and mobile phones and all your bags with you. On entering the palace you see a beautiful fountain which is a good place for taking pictures as the palace will also be visible in the background. Then you just have to climb and keep climbing the stairs tell you reach the top. From there you have the citi's aerial view. There are multi coloured glasses on the window covers that looks really beautiful. In the place is usually windy on the top. A few things that I found amazing about this palace are mini windows on the gallery, the symmetry of the palace, colourful windows and the city view from the top. Really had a great experience visiting this palace "The Heart of the Pink City- Jaipur" !!
