Leopard are sometimes seen. The forests are lush during and immediately
following the monsoon, but during the dry months of February May there

Jaipur, the vibrant capital of Rajasthan, is popularly known as the '
Pink City ' because of the pink-coloured buildings in its old city. It
sits on a dry lake bed in a somewhat arid landscape, surrounded by barren
hills surmounted by forts and crenellated walls. This buzzing metropolis
is certainly a place of wild contrasts and a feast for the eyes. All through,
Jaipur has retained its strong Rajputana flavour tempered by several influences
- the mughal being the most prominent. The region's strong cultural heritage
is distinctly evident even today. The city is a visitor's delight. From
the intricate, delicate looking Hawa Mahal to the graphic forms of the
Jantar Mantar - an open air observatory of outsized astronomical instruments,
the Badi Chaupar lined with shops and business establishments on both
