Historic! This is the first thing that comes to my mind when I think about Jaipur. With its rich tapestry and architectural marvels, Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan boasts nothing but cultural vibrancy. For the unversed, Jaipur, also known as the Pink City, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.

However, there is another thing that screams Jaipur and it's the street food that it offers! Looking for places to indulge your taste buds? Then Khamma Ghani! because we have rounded up a list of 10 must-visit street food places in the Pink City! Check it out.
