Had a great time roaming around in the Hawa Mahal of Jaipur. I spent practically the whole afternoon there (which explains why I have a whole bucketlist of places left to visit) .

I took the audio guide. When it is well made I really enjoy the audio guides in India. I listen to it slowly while meandering through the monument. It really helps give a feel of the place with the background music and historic stories.

Have tried to capture that feel with this presentation…. enjoy this visual tour of the Hawa Mahal…

I was trying to make it a 100 slides… but didn’t have that much patience. Did 29. 😉
