The Sweet and Salty of Jaipur's Pink City — LMB, Payaz Khachori, and Lassiwala
Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is known for its desert-style dishes rich in ghee (butter oil) and Mitai (traditional sweets). An efficient itinerary combines shopping at the old town's Johari Bazaar with gourmet dining, and bargaining is essential when renting auto-rickshaws or cycle rickshaws. Since temperatures exceed 40 degrees Celsius during the summer midday, stay hydrated with lassi and stick to indoor restaurants.
