Pink City, Big Dreams: How an Educational Trip to Jaipur Changed Students Forever

Flight of Dreams: An Unforgettable Journey “A dream is not what you see in your sleep; a dream is something that does not let you sleep.”

50 Meritorious Students from Rupnagar Depart for Jaipur Exposure Visit

January 25, 2026, marked the day this sentiment became a reality for a group of 50 ambitious students. Our Education Department organized an enriching exposure trip to the historic “Pink City” of Jaipur. In a particularly thrilling highlight, 15 of these meritorious students were selected to travel by air—a first-time experience that sparked immense joy and anticipation. I felt privileged to accompany our Principal, Mr. Neeraj Verma, and Lecturer, Mr. Arun Kumar Sharma, on this incredible journey.

Exploring the Pink City:

Upon arrival, we were joined by the remaining 35 students who traveled by bus. Our guide and organizer, Mr. Jatin, greeted us with a warm welcome. After a refreshing breakfast at the Aditya Hotel, we set out to discover the heritage of Jaipur.

Albert Hall Museum: where curiosity met culture

Our first stop was the Albert Hall Museum, nestled in the Ram Niwas Garden. We learned that the city’s iconic hue dates back to 1876, when Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II ordered the buildings to be painted terracotta pink to welcome Prince Albert Edward. To this day, the city wears this color as a badge of hospitality.
We also paused to admire the Hawa Mahal, or “Palace of Winds,” with its intricate honeycomb windows designed for royal ladies to observe the street festivals unseen. Later, we stopped by the serene Jal Mahal, which appeared to float magically in the center of Man Sagar Lake, offering a perfect moment for reflection.

Spiritual and Architectural Wonders:
