Tonk : Jaipur Excursions

Filed under:

Tonk - 96 km away from Jaipur, Tonk is a small and peaceful town. Once ruled by the tribes said to be descendents of ‘Pathans’ from Afghanistan, the highlight of the city is the Sunehri Kothi or the Golden Bungalow. The monument has stark and simple exteriors but its lavish and ornamental interiors are quite charming. The other monuments that are worth passing through are the old buildings that were once occupied by the British office. The leather and the felt industry of Tonk are also famous and one can get some good bargain on leather and felt items from the place. The Persian arts and crafts are prevalent in Tonk and those who are interested can also visit the library of Nawab of Tonk, which boasts of a good number of Arabic and Persian manuscripts and the Arabic and Persian Research Institute.

Besides the nearby tourist attractions around Jaipur, there are many places of interest to visit and admire. Lutyen’s and Mughal’s Delhi and Agra’s Taj Mahal are particularly popular with tourist all over the world.
