Kite Flying in Jaipur

“Patangbaazi” Kite-flying has been popular in Jaipur since its very foundation. We find mention of it in the description of the bazaars of Jaipur as early as 1770 A.D. As it happens, it is, to this day a favoured time pass with its people. In Jaipur, this sport has a competitive twist. It is also about cutting the kites flown by others and claiming it as yours by collecting it where ever it drops. The winner takes all, no wonder it was a popular sport with our kings!

You too can enjoy this deeply engrossing and surprisingly challenging sport. Many guests are reminded of the wonderful reading of Khaled Hosseini novel “The Kite Runner”. Here you get to fly kites with our passionate in-house kite flyers all decked up Rajasthani Turbans and Scarves. And enjoy Indian style high tea; there is a constant supply of Indian snacks and our favourite beverage – Chai.
