| Jaipur |
Most of the places I’ve traveled to were master-planned by me, but this trip? Oh no, this one had my wife’s fingerprints all over it. And let me confess—when your wife plans a trip, you don’t ask questions; you just pack your bags and pray Google Maps is kind.
We both desperately needed a Kit-Kat break (that’s what I call short getaways, because much like the chocolate, they’re short-lived but very satisfying). August monsoon was in full swing in North India, and the plan was simple: hit the highway, roll down the windows, and let the rains make Bollywood-level slow-motion moments happen. Destination? Jaipur—the Pink City, the city of palaces, forts, royal food, and bargaining battles.
