Skip the midday heat and head straight for the Jal Mahal pavilion. This place is famous for its massive fountains—over 500 of them—though they only run during specific festivals, so don't expect a water show on a random Tuesday. The architecture mixes Mughal and Rajput styles perfectly. Give it two hours to walk the gardens. It is way less crowded than Jaipur spots, but bring your own water because the local facilities are basic.
