Honestly, don’t you think partying and resolutions on new year’s eve are getting a tad bit over rated? How about moving beyond going to an already overcrowded place and dancing to somebody else’s beats and create your own experience in your city this year ? 🙂
1. Head to Highway King
When it comes to mouth-watering, finger-licking good Punjabi food, you can always visit the HighWay King at Ajmer Road. Located on the highway, Highway King a multi cuisine restaurant that serves delicious preparations of Indian, South Indian and, Continental food. With beautiful indoor and outdoor surroundings, this place set in the outskirts of Jaipur is surely recommended for a short and decent break.
If you want to avoid Ajmer road, one can take Sikar road and even try the equally impressive Sharma and Shankar Dhaba.Â
2. Take a Metro Ride
What if we told you that you could go around Jaipur without having to deal with the endless honking on the streets and that too without burning a hole in your pocket.
When riding through the city in traffic becomes too clichéd, you can take the metro to look at Jaipur from a different angle. The easy and convenient ride will let you experience a panoramic view of the city. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of Jaipur from a distance in peace. Even better when you take it in the evening when the city is dazzling in colourful lights.
