Description
10 Easy Walks is the first book of its kind and gives the tourist a chance to explore the famed lanes of Jaipur. See the well planned streets from close quarters and discover the city's architectural beauty in its monuments-havelies, temples and other traditional buildings, its carefully preserved heritage, its culture and craft skills.
The streets are crowed and lively and there is much to see and enjoy-the marble statue maker, the dyer and printer, the bangle seller, the mithaiwala, the artists and the jeweller. This book gives the reader a chance to explore totally different aspect of Jaipur and shows that there is more to this 276 year old city than the famous Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal.
