- Amber Palace Water Walk & Panna Meena Stepwell:
- Duration - 2:30 hours in total
- The World famous, Paana Meena Stepwell is located in the Amber Town; a 5-minute drive from Amber Palace. We continue to the stepwell after the water walk in the Palace. It is an early 17th century living heritage known for its architecture and royal connection. Stepwells in arid Rajasthan hold key positions as both utility and cultural structures.
- It is our earnest attempt to present this ‘unique side’ of the desert state. One wonders, how did this barren dead place evolve into a thriving and beautiful culture visited by millions every year?
- The single word answer is “Water”. This transformation, which is nothing short of a miracle, happened due to our unique relationship with water. We celebrate water in every aspect of our lives, be it our beliefs & traditions, food, language, art, and architecture, music, or dance. In essence, water is our collective cultural repository.
- Rajasthan is a ‘water civilization in the Desert’ and we want to tell beautiful stories from this place which will keep you riveted for the two hours that you will spend with us. Our walking tours are multi-layered just like the place. We cover a vast range of themes from history, architecture & engineering, local traditions & beliefs, politics, intrigue and more
