Travelling the Pink City Jaipur
Let's have a trip to Jaipur...
The city of Jaipur is famous for its monuments and historical buildings. Jaipur is a city which was dominated by the Rajputs for a long time. Therefore, the monuments of Jaipur are a symbol of the bravery, wits and perseverance of its rulers.
One of the most famous and beautiful tourist destinations of Jaipur is the Amer fort, located on a hill. Built by Raja Maan Singh of Amber, it is known for its architecture, which represents the Hindu style. Inside it is the Jai Mandir or sheesh mahal,with a magnificent structure.
Another fort in this complex is the Jaigarh Fort,
built by Raja Jai Singh II to protect the Amer Fort. One can therefore see large cannons and other weapons of war inside this fort.
Another attraction of Jaipur is the Sisodia Rani Bagh, built on the outskirts of the city by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. It is a huge palace with many gardens on different levels. The speciality of this palace are the fountains, from which water flows at different speeds and in different patterns in accordance to the music. The palace walls are carved with paintings of different moments of Lord Krishna's life.
The Hawa Mahal, built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh and designed by Lal Chand Ustad in the form of the crown of Lord Krishna, is another symbol of the beautiful architecture and the belief of the Rajputs in God.
The city palace is another interesting place to visit. It was initially started by Sawai Jai Singh II, but later continued by his successors, the Mughal rulers and the British. It is therefore a fusion of the three styles of architecture.
The city of Jaipur also highlights the scientific skills of its rulers. The Jantar Mantar is one such place. It was built by Sawai Jai Singh and is a collection of nineteen astronomical instruments based on ancient sanskrit texts and islamic astronomy, and used for various purposes: calcualting time, foreseeing eclipses and studying celestial objects.
The Albert Hall Museum is an important remembrance of the freedom fighters of India, with special focus on Gandhiji, and their unforgettable roles for the freedom of India.

A Trip to Goa- the land of beaches
Come, see Goa through my eyes...The majestic waves, the sand shining like gold in the sunlight, the cool breeze of the seaside, the beautiful sunset in he evenings...what a mesmerizing sight!
Where To Stay
A beach resort is perhaps the best place to stay when in Goa. One is the Estrela Do Mar beach resort, adjacent to the Baga beach. It is a well maintained, hospitable resort. One of the attractions here are the cottage rooms, from which one can see the beach. Besides, being a beach resort, you can visit the beach whenever you want: go to see the dolphins in an
early morning cruise, or enjoy the high waves of the sea late in the evening
Tourist attractions
Beaches of Goa are extremely enjoyable. You can collect shells, or make sand houses. You can sit watching the gigantic waves crashing on the land, or have adventurous water rides. The banana ride, parasailing and water-scooter are some of the most enjoyable ones.
The sea cruise is another fascinating attraction of Goa. The Santa Monica cruise, with cultural performances by the best troops of Goa, is loaded with fun. Its evening timings are the best, with the sun drowning in the sea, making the sky shine bright with its orange glow.
One can also visit the Abyss marine aquarium, which holds a wide variety of fish, scorpions, turtles and other aquatic organisms.The Se Cathedral Church, Shanta Durga temple and other historical holy places hold their unique and interesting history, which also may interest the reader.
Panaji has its own attractions. Apart from the Churches and museums, about which we have often heard, it is also a good place for shopping and street wandering,
