The place to stay if you’re visiting Jaipur. Jantu and his team are very helpful with questions, directions, suggestions, anything really. The rooftop restaurant is nice space overlooking the area. Room was clean, spacious, well kept – a relaxing space after a day out. I briefly want to mention Jantu’s other restaurant in the city, The curry spoon which was a great lunch stop on our visits around the beautiful sites. Jantu was very helpful in offering us a guided tour of the city with our driver. There was no pressure to accept, just a suggestion which we hadn’t fully thought about at the time. As westerners we’re used to walking around the sites but india is a different ball game. Its walkable if you know how to deal with Indian roads. The sites aren’t exactly close together and individually have a fair bit of walking within so adding the travel distance might be too much in the one full day we had for jaipur. We did decide to take the offer and it was well worth having. Jeetu, our driver for the day in Jaipur and our trip from Jaipur to Agra, was the guy to have. He wasn’t just our driver, by the end he was like our friend. He looked out for us, especially around the masses of tourist and hundreds of parked taxis. He went the extra mile for us, making sure we were happy and safe. Even showed us a block printing workshop and textiles, that wasn’t on our itinerary but was fascinating to see. We had previously organised for the drive from Jaipur to Agra as I wanted to stop at the Chad Baori. Jeetu again came through and more. We visted the beautiful Monkey temple on the way and Fatehpur Sikri – again not on our list because we didn’t think we’d have time but well worth the stops with great views, wildlife and architecture. Jantu and Jeetu also organised for us a tour guide at Fatehpur Sikri which was well worth having, sharing incredible history of india that made the spaces we were in/visiting have so much more meaning than just looking at a building. Though in total a 6hr+ drive, the stops in between to see the sites and his company made it a pleasurable experience, one that without him we wouldn’t have had, nor will we forget. A true experience of Indian hospitality.
