Must visit if in Jaipur - I have always wanted to visit Chand Baori after seeing numerous photos in travel magazines.
If ever in Jaipur, this is a place I would highly recommend one visits. It’s only a 2 hour drive out of Jaipur. The Baori, is one of the best in India due to its history, its architecture (symmetrical steps), its photogenic beauty. It really is a wonderful piece of art and the most fascinating thing is that there is very little literature on how it was constructed.
Definitely worth visiting.

Amazing - not to be missed - We were on a tour of the golden triangle and this was not on the itinerary but our guide offered it as an extra. Having been to the Taj Mahal earlier in the day, this was almost as remarkable, given it was built in the 8th century, the scale of it was a huge surprise and I think it should be added to the itinerary of any tour as I think most people would be amazed. The Indian Government are planning restoration, which when complete will make things even better, although it may then be more commercialised, which at the moment it isn't. We'll worth a visit.

differentiated architecture - Nice place to visit if you are somedays at Jaipur. Take care on the road. Always use seatbelt. Not a crowded place and a Hindu temple near the entrance
