Every cities video worth watching in Rajasthan — in one place

Rajasthan’s cities are colour-coded for a reason, and the shorthand actually holds up on the ground. Jaipur is the pink city, painted that shade in 1867 to welcome the Prince of Wales and still anchored by the Amber Fort, the City Palace, and the lattice screens of the Hawa Mahal [via India Travel Guide The Golden]. Jodhpur is the blue city, where indigo-washed houses ring the base of the hilltop Mehrangarh and the rooftops genuinely read blue from above [via Best Things to Do in Jodhpur]. Jaisalmer is the golden city, a sandstone fortress rising from the Thar that remains one of India’s few still-inhabited forts, with families, shops, and Jain temples inside the walls [via Top 10 things to do in JAISALMER]. Pushkar, Bundi, and Udaipur fill in the gaps — a Brahma pilgrimage town, more than fifty surviving step wells, and the lake palaces respectively [via Top 10 Best Places to Visit in Rajasthan].

The “Top 10 Best Places to Visit in Rajasthan” video is the cleanest skeleton: it sequences Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Pushkar, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Bikaner, and Mount Abu in one pass, useful for deciding which cities make your shortlist before booking trains. Pair it with “How To Spend 2 Days In JAIPUR” — the former gives breadth, the latter drills into one city with specific opening times (Amber Fort at 8am, Panna Meena Kund at 7am) and entry prices (around seven US dollars for foreign visitors at Amber). Note that “The Ultimate 2-Week North India Itinerary” frames Jaipur as the launchpad for either the Thar overnight, a Ranthambore safari, or Udaipur’s lakes — watch it last, once you know which colour you’re choosing.
