Jaipur Literature Festival: Literally, A Fest to Remember


If you’re among the ones who can walk miles to construe the art of writers or even a neophyte in literary world, this is the time you should pack your bags to the Pink City Jaipur. With less than a week to go when the curtains will go up from India’s most popular literature fest, travel agents are busy handling last-minute booking of flights, hotels and other tourist facilities for Jaipur tour. It is due to the grand literary party that will take place in the royal city of Rajasthan – next week from January 22-27. 

Started as an unobtrusive conference where a single writer addressed a dozen of readers in a tiny room of university, Jaipur Literature Festival has really come a long way. Today, publishers, agents and readers from across the world get together in the fest and create an atmosphere which is perhaps the most talked about in literature world. Over the years, the fest has not only been managing to raise millions of dollars from sponsors but also witnesses the presence of the world’s best known literary stars including Gore Vidal, Ian McEwan and Salman Rushdi. Additionally, innumerable writers from the subcontinent also come here to wow the readers through their intellectual and literary skills.  

Well, it’s not without a reason if a modest local event has become something really promising on world literary map. The Jaipur Fest serves as an outlook of Indian literature, which is worldwide known for its diversity and depth of wisdom. And a huge crowd that the fest witnesses every year is an evidence of world’s interest towards Indian writing. However, rich history, interesting cultures and delicious foods of Jaipur also draw tourists in hordes. If you’re planning for a Jaipur tour during this festival, booking of Jaipur hotels. You can also book online mumbai hotels and delhi hotels in advance is recommended.
