Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan and was our last stop there. Here we did a mix of cultural activities and sightseeing.
Me and my brother did a block printing workshop; we decorated pillowcases by stamping carved wooden blocks into colour pads and then imprinting it onto the pillowcase. It was super fun!!
We also visited the Patrica Gate (an ornately decorated gate) and the Pink Haveli: a palace overlooking a bustling road with carved jali screens that meant that the queens could look out without anybody outside the palace being able to see in.
There’s also an astronomy center built by a maharaja! I has sundials a loads of other cool equipment.
On our last night we went to an elephant sanctuary that takes in elephants that have been cruelly tamed by people to ride or for tourists to ride. We walked with the elephants and we fed them! It was really fun, and we also ate dinner there.
