What Waits in Kota

Kota is a laid-back riverside city after the bustle of Jaipur. You can stroll along the Chambal, visit the city's gardens and the Seven Wonders Park, and see the old palace and fort that gave the Hadoti region its royal past. Young students from all over India come to study here, so cafes and bookshops stay busy late.
