Which is the location of Jaipur? How far from WEst Bengal?
Guessing you are in Kolkata a straight line journey from point A to point B is 1642 km.
Basically it's opposite from West Bengal on the West side of india in Rajahstan.
Kolkata to Delhi is 1460 kms
Delhi to Jaipur is 277 kms
Jaipur is in Rajasthan, a state in north-western India.
Have you heard of an atlas?
hahahaha atlas, lolz
Jaipur is very far from West Bengal.
Jaipur is in Rajasthan (in the west of India) while Bengal is in the east, although it is called "West" Bengal.
But the flight time from, for example, Kolkata to Jaipur will not be anywhere more than two and a half hours (a non stop flight). And it will cost around 4000 INR which will come to be less than a $100.
Jaipur is located in Rajasthan state in India. Jaipur Kolkata distance is 1462 km which you can travel by train or by air. Rajasthan state is close to Capital of India Delhi. You can get easily flights from Delhi to Jaipur. From Delhi you can come to Jaipur by bus also.
Located 9km north west of Jaipur is the Amber Fort, but Amber (Amer) was once the capital of the Minas, the royal house that ruled there from the 12th century. Within the Fort is the Jai Mandir Temple and Sheesh Mahal, the Hall of Mirrors. The best way to get to Amber Palace is by elephant. The ride will take about 20 minutes.
When walking around the old city of Jaipur, make sure to take a detour into the narrow alleys beyond the main thoroughfares. A different city awaits you, colourful (but not pink) and calmer with no tourists. You will catch a glimpse of the locals going on with their own daily lives amid beautiful but crumbling architecture. Attached are a few photos.
Jaipur is on the Broad Gauge and connected to all the metro cities of India.
There are daily trains from Delhi in morning (Shatabdhi Exp - which we took) and evening (Intercity Exp) which take around 6 hours.
We were given numerous flasks of hot water with tea bags, and brekkie was either a vegie omelette with toast and hot chips, or potato cutlets with toast and hot chips. Seconds 'all round' were encouraged!
Anyone who's looked at these Jaipur pages -- or at any book on Jaipur -- has seen the outside of the Hawa Mahal. S/He has also read that the high structure is just one room deep.
This photograph gives an idea of what 'one room deep' means: look at the short distance between the railing and the lattice-work in the cupola (on the right in the picture).
The rulers of Jaipur -- like most men in most cultures through most of history -- wanted to isolate his wives and concubines. Rich men could enforce that isolation completely. That has usually meant that women were not only not seen, but also that they did not see anything outside their husband's or master's immediate domain.
In Jaipur, at least, Sawao Pratap Singh was considerate enough to build a structure, in 1799, that allowed the members of his harem to see the world outside.
Wow! This place is stunning-like a lost city in the middle of craggy hills. I couldnt stop staring and then you enter-its got pools of water, monkeys dipping inside the water, not swimming but bathing. People worshipping and the structure is magnificent. The drive here is from in between stunning monuments and palaces, all abandoned but I can picture the splendour.
