Fly Kites From a Royal Haveli

Step onto the Chandni Terrace of our royal haveli and immerse yourself in a tradition that is far more than a simple pastime. Here in Jaipur, patangbaazi, or kite flying, is a competitive and exhilarating sport, a vibrant cultural spectacle where the sky itself becomes a battleground. This is not about leisurely flying a kite; it's about mastering the art of the cut—a thrilling duel where your goal is to sever the string of your opponent's kite and claim it as it spirals down to the streets below. This age-old rivalry has captivated both royalty and locals for centuries, and now, you have the chance to experience its unique intensity.

Join our skilled in-house kite flyers, dressed in traditional Rajasthani turbans and scarves, as they guide you through the intricacies of the sport. Learn the techniques of unwinding the manjha (the special abrasive string) and executing the perfect pull to outmaneuver your rivals. Whether you are a novice or have some experience, our experts will ensure you feel the rush of this spirited competition.

As the vibrant kites dance and dart across the azure sky, you can savor a delightful Indian-style high tea. Enjoy an assortment of delicious snacks and endless cups of steaming chai, the perfect complement to the cool rooftop breeze and the lively atmosphere. The blend of high-octane action and serene relaxation offers a truly unique experience. Many of our guests have noted the quiet intensity and dramatic, sky-bound nature of the event, drawing parallels to the poignant themes found in The Kite Runner.

This is your opportunity to participate in a rich tradition, connect with local culture, and create unforgettable memories high above the Pink City. We invite you to register for this extraordinary event and become a part of Jaipur's spirited story.
