Jal Mahal
The Water Palace
A palace 'afloat' in Man Sagar lake: an evening promenade, camels, and the best photos at sunset.
The palace "floating" in Man Sagar lake: four storeys hide underwater, gardens ride on top. You can't go in, and you don't need to: the lakefront of camels, chai sellers and Jaipur's best reflection is the event. Stop at sunrise en route to Amber, or at dusk on the way back.
