I've spent nearly a year in Jaipur with my young family since October 2022 when we moved there for 6 months. This blog post provides a hub of the articles and itineraries I've written about the Pink City. I hope you find it useful!
Intinerary
Gems of Rajasthan
For over a year, I've been delighted to partner with bespoke travel specialists Wix Squared on two itineraries around Rajasthan. The first is ‘Gems of Rajasthan’. Starting in Jaipur and finishing in Udaipur, the 12-night itinerary encapsulates my favourite hotels, sights, shops, food and experiences. Reminiscent of our honeymoon trip, it weaves together my hidden gems with Wix Squared's tailored service, expert guides and exclusive access. All guests will receive a copy of Rosanna's Guide To Jaipur, published October 2024. Email info@wixsquared.com to book.

City Guide
This interview with Country Life magazine covers everything from the best times of year to visit and must-have souvenirs.
"Rosanna’s first trip to India, back in 2012, saw her journey to Goa with her then boyfriend George. A second trip saw them venture further afield to the Andaman Islands. And the third — on their honeymoon — to Rajasthan. To say that they fell in love with the region is something of an understatement."

Weekend Trip
This ultimate weekend in the Pink City for Cabana Magazine was one of the first pieces I wrote about Jaipur. It's still a favourite.

Rajasthan for Families
Next with Wix Squared, we have a trip for families. Rajasthan energises and inspires me with its colours, scents and sights but it is through my children's eyes that I have been able to unlock its true wonder even in the everyday. Monkeys on a rooftop, the percussion of dhoop aarti in the temple or the sweetness of a bowl of kulfi falooda, all inspire a joy in my daughters that we had not encountered elsewhere.

Guide with Children
Talking of families, I wrote my guide to family travels through Jaipur for Conde Nast Traveller.
"That's the thing about Jaipur. It is so much more than the historic palaces or the gems of Johri Bazaar, it is a vivid, beautiful, vital experience. If there are just a handful of memories that my daughters have with them for life, I would hope it is that taste of homemade dal, those sounds from the temple on our street and that soft pink glow before the sun sets each day, perhaps with a peacock crossing their path."
