Hawa Mahal from Wind View Cafe

The Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) is Jaipur's most recognizable landmark. While the structure itself is beautiful, the best way to admire its intricate honeycomb facade is not from the street, but from the rooftop cafes opposite it.

Places like the Wind View Cafe offer an eye-level view of the 953 windows (jharokhas). Sipping a masala chai while watching the bustle of the bazaar below and the light changing on the pink sandstone is a quintessential Jaipur moment.

It is the perfect spot for relaxation and photography.
