Rajasthan is not only famous for its majestic forts and lakes but is also home to one of the most vibrant cuisines. There are a number of dining options at Trident Jaipur; Jal Mahal is the all-day, multi-cuisine restaurant, Grills by the Pool is the poolside, alfresco restaurant which serves Indian cuisine alongside traditional Kalbelia dance and Mansagar is the elegant bar by the pool.

The Trident hotels are the little sister company to the Oberoi Group, so you can be sure to expect the same high standards of service at any Trident hotel.

I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything.
