  • Girls Just Wanna Have Forts: Our Jaipur Madness in 3 Days

    A Wholesome Chaos: My 3-Day Jaipur Trip with Friends.

    The most chaotic I’ve ever been—this trip was pure madness, and honestly, there were a lot of “dumb and dumber” moments with me and the girls. 😭

    First things first: none of us noticed that our return tickets were for the morning, not at night. We only realized it on the way to Jaipur after one of my friend’s dads pointed it out. The chaos that followed? Hilarious in hindsight.😂😂

    Despite that rocky start, we managed to squeeze everything into three amazing days and saw everything we’d hoped to. There’s something so special about a first trip with friends—it’s messy, exciting, and filled with memories that stick forever. ,💕

    I just came back from a 3-day trip to Jaipur with my gang, and honestly? It was everything I needed and more.

    Day 1: The Not-So-Perfect Start (That Turned Around Pretty Fast)

    We landed in Jaipur full of excitement… and got hit with indecision almost immediately. None of us could agree on where to go first, and to top it off, our hotel room wasn’t quite what we expected—smaller and not as comfy. But instead of sulking, we quickly turned the day around.

    Our first stop? Chokhi Dhani—a dream if you want the full-on Rajasthani cultural experience. From the authentic food and live music to local games and performances, it was absolutely magical. We spent hours there, soaking it all in. Later in the evening, we grabbed dinner at a beautiful restaurant (I wish I remembered the name!) that surprised us with how pretty it was. Then, we called it a night… sort of.

    Day 2: Temples, Museums, and Picture-Perfect Spots

    The day started with hotel breakfast, which honestly wasn’t the best (still crying). But spirits were high, and our first stop was the peaceful Birla Mandir. It was such a calming way to start the day—quiet, serene, and grounding.

    Then we headed to Albert Hall Museum. I love museums, and this one didn’t disappoint. Seeing all that art and history, and oh—a mummy?! That part was a little creepy, but also kind of fascinating.

    We made a quick stop at Jal Mahal (just from the outside since it’s closed), and then went to Jantar Mantar. While the history was cool, it was just an open space with astronomical instruments—not too exciting for us. After that, we checked out a place called Mauj Mahal—it was okay, more fun because I was with my friends than anything else.

    Next up: Hawa Mahal—a total highlight! Such a stunning building, and even though many of the windows were closed, we took so many pictures there. That night ended with another dinner out, followed by… well, not sleep.

    Instead, we had a full-blown dance party, sang our hearts out, made goofy videos, and ended the night with face masks. Pure friendship magic. 🥹💜

    Day 3: Temples, Climbing, and That Sunset

    Another underwhelming breakfast, but we powered through. We started with a visit to Vaishno Devi and Hanuman Mandir—because why not? It felt good to include a spiritual element in our trip.

    Then came the challenge of the day: Amber Fort. Instead of taking a cab, we decided to walk. Bad idea? Maybe. But it was Navratri, and a smaller route was open, so we climbed all the way up. It was exhausting, but the fort was stunning—probably one of the prettiest places I’ve ever seen. It’s so huge that I’m sure we didn’t even see half of it.

    Our final stop: Nahargarh Fort. And wow. Watching the sunset from there was just… unreal. We tried to capture it on camera, but nothing compares to seeing it in person. That moment sealed the trip for me.

    Some little tips for Future Travelers

    1. Double-check your return tickets (lol) 🤣

    2. Must-visit: Hawa Mahal at golden hour

    3. Skip: Jantar Mantar if you’re not into astronomy.

    Final Thoughts

    This trip was everything I hoped for—beautiful places, chaotic moments, bonding with friends, and memories I’ll laugh about for years. We didn’t always know where we were going, and things didn’t always go to plan, but honestly? That’s what made it perfect.

    Hi lovelies 💕

    I have been so sick since I came back from my trip. All the tiredness of the trip have turned into sickness and now I have had fever, cold and cough since the last 2 weeks. 😭😭

    I am feeling a lot better now, but I need a proper rest to be honest.
