Each room are so nice but hot. No air condition in each room.
Guard of each room can assist to take a beautiful pictures. They are polite and kindness. Cafe is non the rooftop, mid day is so hot.

This is a MUST! Once you get the ticket to the Royal Palace tell them you’d like to pay an extra supplement to visit the VIP Private area. It really worth it, trust me. Also a very good idea to get the tickets online via official site and they also have discounts for students.
Way too expensive to see some stores and a small museum. If you think you will see the grandeur of the Palace as seen in some of the pictures, you need to buy a Royal Tour Ticket at 3000 rupees.
Without that ticket, most of the interesting places are off the limits.

City palace with a museum with some art and some clothing and other objects from the royal family. Worth a visit

It is the most beautiful palace complex whech has separate entrance ticket INR 3500/- per foreigners tourists (other than regular visit of City palace museum) it include visits of 7 palaces of 4 floors with complimentary tea / coffee /juice / minral water bottle and cookies , it is recently opened for tourist but if you craving to see beautiful palaces in original form than must go for it . You can take photos except first palace .
It was nice but the price for the tour was too high. I was lucky to get a student price (1500 rupees- per person). But even then it was too expensive and the place wasn't as big Amber fort, where me and friends collectively paid 1000 rupees for a guide. Didn't learn much, just where the royal guests stayed and they tried hard to sell expensive sarees, paint work and scarfs. I recommend to just pay the basic ticket and look around the palace. The private grandeur tour was not worth it.
