With 7 days in Jaipur, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the iconic forts and palaces, Jaipur's magic lies in its craft traditions. This is a city where you can watch master block printers create intricate textile patterns passed down for generations, see gem-cutters shape raw stones into dazzling jewels in the back alleys of the old city, and hear the rhythmic hammering of Thatheras (metal craftsmen) creating copper utensils, a craft recognized by UNESCO.
