## Caption

From Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra, our #treasuredbytajtraveler group flew to Rajasthan to check into our next @tajhotels property in the “Pink City” of Jaipur. Our welcome, which I shared part of in Stories and have saved to my profile, included the most extraordinary collection of surprises, live music and of course champagne. It was a royal welcome that epitomizes #tajness and befits the property’s status as a former palace. Most special to me, since I love cars so much, were two vintage vehicles from the collection of the Maharajah. Not long after check in, we then took a spin around the grounds in the blue 1937 Ford convertible at Golden Hour. Warm wind in our hair, gleaming light bathing the stunning facade of @rambaghpalace, peacocks casually strolling the grounds around us and sounding their mating calls with a cerulean sky overhead — it was the epitome of magical #IncredibleIndia. I loved seeing the ombré flame of our driver’s turban in front of me as we drove. Such a perfect contrast. (Sidenote: the way men tie turbans, the color for various occasions and the material varies all across India. In Rajasthan it’s quite typical to see a longer tail of fabric hanging down the back and a sort of feather effect on top, just to one side.) The start of our journey in Mumbai already blew my two other trips to this country out of the water but our second stop has shown me it can always get better even if it seems impossible. 🇮🇳 #tajhotels #hostedstay #sponsoredtravel #jaipurindia #jaipurRajasthan #Rajasthan
