Jaipur's fort hills visited by a record number of tourists

A rainy Jaipur welcomed a record number of tourists on Sunday. The iconic Amber Fort in the Pink City welcomed over 4800 visitors on Sunday. On Saturday too, the number of visitors was high, with a total of 4400 people gathering at the hill fort. Jaipur received quite a bit of rain over the weekend, and looked especially beautiful, prompting more travellers to reach the city. Jaipur’s Nahargarh Fort also attracted a large number of tourists, with 4100 visitors reaching the site on Sunday. Jaipur’s rainy days certainly have a romantic charm, and coupled with the beautiful forts, there is nothing quite like it for travellers. Moreover, travellers from nearby areas, such as Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana are slowly returning to travel to Jaipur.
Jaipur’s monuments, and museums had the highest footfall since the lockdown opened on June 16. In those last 15 days the city received over 19000 visitors, and the number rose to a whopping 1.38 lakh in the month of July. Travellers were certainly itching to go out and explore destinations, however, as seen during that time, there were places in India that were overcrowded with tourists, increasing the risk of infection.

It is safe to say that Jaipur is returning to its former self, with tourists coming in by the numbers for now. Moreover, a decrease in the number of new covid infections has been of great help. It is now being predicted by experts in the field of tourism that if we can avoid a third wave, we may very well be on the road to recovery in terms of tourism.
