Selfie time [local] "Welcome to Jaipur"
[Bike noise]
[Music]
The people are watching me again they're staring at me again (sigh) vlogging
in India it's gonna break you, anyway things to do in Jaipur.
The monkey temple it's a little
bit out of town and it's a little bit of a walk up and down but it's out of the city and in
some lush green forests and hills quite beautiful I recommend going early in the morning there
is a lot of monkeys and you got the right day there's a lot of people as well as the
heat of the day wears on you get less people I went down there, lots of people bathing in
the water they believe to be holy
a very interesting sight
[playing around with the local kids] kids: "Chocolate"
[Music]
up here, look over and peer into there.
the step well
I'm here at this step well a little
bit off the beaten track but quite an amazing thing looks like something from an Escher
drawing which if you don't know he drew those steps went up and down stairs with all
contradictory but this is just steps to make it easy to go up and down to a water well
so it's free to come and see the step well but the guards will still do all they can
to get some money from you like if your camera's on a selfie a selfie stick or a stabilized
like mine was, oh no 500 rupees for bringing that in
so I took it off and then if you
want to go down into the steps, oh you can go down for 500 rupee
take excellent photos down there
next on the list of places city palace right in the middle of old Jaipur there's two parts
to it there's the city Palace Museum which cost you 500 rupees entrance and gives you
all this
[Music]
then there's entrance into the city palace which is 2500 rupiah and everyone
I spoke to says don't bother unless you really like museums. I like museums but, yeah.
And lots of areas when you go to the museum areas you can't take the camera anyway so
I can't show you any of that
I've got some good news a ticket I bought earlier does also
cover the Hawa Mahal which is a temple of winds which is good that means I can actually
don't the queue in that long queue I can go into the temple which is right there without
the queue for tickets because I got this
[Music]
it's been another hot but beautiful day in
India been touring Jaipur the Pink city I've gotten around oh so many things it's been
great I'm flagging a bit now
I had plenty plenty to drink but I still need to drink more and
I've still got hopefully let me check on the sun, where's the sun? hold on
I may have,
I want to go to Tiger Fort for the sunset which is quite a drive away
plus I've got uhm one other
temple just around the corner from here that only opens after four o'clock so it's open
now, can I do both? let's find out
well carrying on our tour of Jaipur things to do in Jaipur
uh I'mm at the govindji temple, I'll try to find how to pronounce that correctly
[passerby] "use my helicopter"?
[Simon giggles] no i'm thankyou, I'm just waiting to go into the temple
[Music]
next up Tiger Fort should have time to oh there he is [giggles] get
there for sunset and heres my tuk-tuk driver waiting let's go
take a walk up to the tiger
fort you can cheat and get a car around the back side or a tuk-tuk around the back side
but it's quite a long drive so I've decided to take healthy option I think it's healthy
in this heat not sure if dehydration counts as healthy, anyway take a walk up here from
the old town to the tiger fort
lets get going
[Music]
I've reached the Tiger Fort [out of breath]
it doesn't look like its too well defended at any time [panting]
walls within walls
[short giggle] and that water down there
we can't see but down there is a dam of water which would have been uh the forts water supply
[panting] and we are at the top
not too bad
what an amazing view
theres the dam and if you drive up there's the car park over there
the the rest of the Fort is behind us over there
the view over Jaipur is right there
