Friends,  We  enjoyed our diwali vacation in Jaipur-a royal city. Full of palaces & forts. It has rich & royal history. India has lots of diversity & particularly Rajasthan is full of forts, palaces & its rich history.

Our first destination was Astroport Sariska, it’s a star gazing resort, situated in darkest place of India. http://astroportsariska.com/  We enjoyed star milky way, star gazing over there.

Jaipur, popularly known as a pink city, but forts,palaces & rich history makes it royal city. Everybody has heard proverb “LIVE A LIFE , KING SIZE“. But what is king size? If you visit this royal city , u have an idea about king size. After visit to this royal retreat I remember that Anand(name of the film) film dialogue….“बाबुमुशाई जिंदगी बड़ी होनी चाहिये , लम्बी नहीं”
