Personally, I believe that no trip to India is complete without a visit to Jaipur. Known as The Pink City, Jaipur is where India's culture and color are at their most vibrant. It's my go-to Indian city.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
