About jaipur, including tips for the best time to visit jaipur.

Known as the ‘Pink City’ due to its wide array of candy-coloured architecture, Jaipur’s eye-catching architecture, energetic markets and tasty food options make it one of India’s most visited cities.

Jaipur is home to many architectural masterpieces, but its most famous is the honeycomb-shaped sandstone facade of the Hawa Mahal palace. Made up of over 950 windows, it makes for an impressive sight from the outside, but head to the top of its five storeys for an incredible view over the city. It’s also worth venturing a few miles out of Jaipur to Amber to observe the 17th-century Amer Fort. Highlights include its multi-mirrored ceiling and the beautifully intricate carvings which are found throughout the complex.

One of the best things to do in Jaipur is indulge in some shopping at the city’s assortment of bazaars, each specialising in a variety of handmade products. Many markets offer a dazzling collection of jewellery made from precious metals, stones and gems, as well as a range of cotton clothing, traditional jutti footwear and Jaipur’s famous blue pottery.

You can sample plenty of regional Rajasthani dishes at Jaipur’s street food vendors and welcoming restaurants. The must-try street food is a spicy deep-fried snack called kachori – these crunchy puff pastries filled with onions or lentils make for a great on-the-go bite. The region’s signature dish is dal baati churma, composed of boiled lentils with spices, fried or baked dough balls, and crushed wheat with clarified butter and sugar.

Nice city with nice architecture and palaces and temples. Definitely hire a local guide - worth the money! Lion safari is fun and reasonable cost. Elephant village doesn't woth if you had previous experience with elephants.

March 20, 2024

I was mainly there one day to take care for the rent of my Enfield motorbike in a shop called "JAIPUR BIKE RENTAL" shop 26. Their service was incredible... rated with a 10 And also one day to return the enfield. didn't take time to chec the big cty, but I would do it next time. There is much to see and in general the people are friendly. Off course its crowded but it has a flavor as well. The stay in a nearby hotel The Lodge B&B wasnt ok because of the unfriendly staff. But sometime your lucky and sometime you are not. The last day before leaving, i stayed in a very good hotel near the airport, called "Hotel Siddharsh Heritage" and this was a really good one, but rs 2000 a night. Just be aware of the prizes they charge for shuttle to airport. 3 times higher than uber taxi. and the bottle of water also 3 time more. Thats it. cannot tell more.

March 16, 2024

The forts and palaces are good but Choki Dhani is the best - reserve one day just for that! Rent a bike or scooty for traveling so it makes it easier to travel and also the views are nice especially on the hills. Better to book a hotel near to railway station - gives more accessibility. We had a hotel with free breakfast buffet so that was a plus. There are good restuarants like Baramasi where we went which had 50% off on swiggy and Zomato which drastically reduced the bill.

Great food.

March 3, 2024

Great food. Gajak of Narayanji and sweets of BMB. Masala chowk is lovely if you want to try delectable jaipur street food in a hygienic setting. Jaipur literature festival in feb is a wonderful time to visit if you’re into books. Loved shopping at Gulabchand for dress materials. Got by the city in Uber.

Its a great place to visit.

February 24, 2024

Its a great place to visit. As with any famous city, there are plenty of great ways to spend time depending on your interest and of course, the city is rife with tourist traps and unscrupulous merchants just like any other tourist place. The only thing we really hated was the absolute lack of respect for pedestrians even when crossing the road on a zebra crossing. We were almost run down my reckless motorists even though it was the pedestrian's right of way.

February 23, 2024

Plenty to see in a busy bustling town which is easy to get around by tuk tuk. Great shopping and food and very friendly people. The palace and janta manta are a must and so is amer fort and stepwell.

Best Time To Visit Jaipur

There are no second thoughts about the fact that the best time to explore Jaipur tourism is winter. The city shines in a different light and through misty mornings and chilly evenings, you explore a never-before-seen side of Jaipur tourism. The months from October to February make up the peak season in Jaipur. If you are travelling on a budget, we recommend delaying your trip or booking much in advance. The rush ensures that everything from food and shopping to transportation and accommodation in the city is expensive. 

Summers in Jaipur are dreaded and the least preferred season by travellers. The days are extremely hot, thereby making sightseeing quite a task. We recommend avoiding travelling during summer if you have another option. Monsoon is a beautiful season to explore Jaipur tourism. The city doesn’t see too much rainfall and neither do you have to face the huge tourist rush that marks winter. Most budget travellers prefer travelling in this season since the weather is suitable and there are great discounts on hotels and restaurants. 

If you happen to travel during the monsoon, we recommend including cycling tours and heritage walks in your Jaipur tourism itinerary. This not only ensures you see a different side of the city but it also gives you an opportunity to explore Jaipur tourism like a true local.

Top Attractions In Jaipur

Amber Fort 

As you make your way up the narrow winding roads to Amber Fort, you can almost feel a surge of excitement. Yet nothing prepares you for the first glimpse of the majestic monument. The grand architecture and the landscaped gardens might have been renovated numerous times, but one can't miss the royal elements that make Amber Fort one of the most-visited monuments of Jaipur tourism. 

The construction of the fort started in 1592 and was finally completed in the 18th century by Sawai Jai Singh. The fort is a fine example of Hindu and Rajputana style of architecture. The signature red sandstone runs throughout the vast fort and you can’t help but marvel at the grandeur. Amber Fort served as the royal residence in the days of yore and is broadly divided into four sections. Most tours begin from the main entrance to the fort which is known as Suraj Pol. 

Diwan-e-Aam or the audience hall for the public occupies most of the second level of Amber Fort and the sheer size and vibrancy of the hall is mesmerising. The glasswork and the towering pillars give you an idea of the wealth of the royal era. Sheesh Mahal, another highlight of Amber Fort and Jaipur tourism is made entirely of glass paintings and the play of colours and sunlight is simply beautiful. With flower motifs in glass adorning the ceiling and walls, Sheesh Mahal is the most-visited attraction in Amber Fort and also the most beautiful. Also, attracting attention is Sukh Mahal which is made of sandalwood and ivory.

There are many guided tours to Amber Fort and you can choose one depending on your interests. From heritage walks and photography tours to cycling trips, Amber Fort is arguably the most sought-after monument that makes Jaipur tourism. 

Exploring the fort can take anywhere between three and five hours and it's best to keep aside this time in your Jaipur tourism itinerary. We also recommend exploring the monument early in the morning and coming back for the light and sound show in the evening. Sheesh Mahal, the lush gardens and the views of the city below are some of the highlights of Amber Fort. The monument is visited by thousands of tourists everyday but that doesn't hamper your tour at all owing to the sheer size of Amber Fort.

Nahargarh Fort and Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh and Nahargarh Forts are two grand structures which are situated amidst the Aravallis. Owing to the proximity of the monuments, both can be covered on the same day when you are exploring Jaipur tourism. Situated close to each other, these two forts are brilliant examples of Rajput defence forts as well as architectural skills. Jaigarh Fort was built in 1726 primarily to protect Amber Fort from attacks and after seeing the huge, impregnable walls, you can see why.

Jaigarh Fort is situated atop the Cheel ka Teela hills and is often referred to as the ‘Fort of Victory’ since it has never been conquered in any war. The most attractive feature of Jaigarh Fort is the majestic cannon on wheels which is set up on the second level. The largest in the world, the cannon is known as Jaivana and is truly breathtaking. Another reason why Jaigarh Fort features on most Jaipur tourism itineraries is due to the awe-inspiring views it offers of the city below. If you are a photographer, we suggest heading here just before sunrise so you can capture the beauty of this gorgeous city.

Nahargarh Fort was constructed as a retreat by Maharaja Sawai Singh II. Built in 1734, the mesmerising views of the city are completely worth the time you spend here. A wall connects Nahargarh Fort to Jaigarh Fort and it's quite inspiring to see the architectural feat they accomplished during that time. 

Nahargarh Fort was primarily a retreat for women of the royal family. Known as Madhavendra Bhavan, the zenana was built on one side of the fort while Mardana Mahal occupies a different area of the fort. Your tour of the fort should also include a visit to Nahargarh Biological Park. Located a short distance from the fort, the park should also be part of your Jaipur tourism itinerary owing to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

• City Palace

Standing tall in the centre of the city is an unmissable part of Jaipur tourism – the City Palace. The majestic City Palace was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh and occupied a major portion of the erstwhile royal city. The City Palace served as the seat of the Maharaja and one can still see remnants of the glorious era. The City Palace is divided into broad sections and the best way to ensure that you don’t miss out on anything is by heading out for a guided tour. You can include a guided tour in your Jaipur tourism itinerary by booking tickets at the City Palace office or through a local tour agency. 

The architecture of the City Palace is a fusion of three to four architectural styles including Shilpa Shastra , Mughal, European and Rajput. While there were numerous people who were involved with the design of the City Palace, the main architects were Vidyadhar Bhattacharya and Sir Samuel Swinton Jacob. Red and pink sandstone dominate the architecture and you will find this colour theme throughout the monuments that are part of Jaipur tourism. There are three entrances to the palace which were carefully designed keeping in mind the intricate art on the walls of the gate.

The City Palace has gone through a series of changes but the outer gate has remained untouched for ages. The most attractive highlights of the palace are Chandra Mahal, Diwan-i-Aam and Maharani Mahal. Mubarak Mahal is another beauty which takes your breath away and is a must-visit for history lovers. The mahal served as a reception area but has now been converted into a museum. With exhibits dating back to the royal era, you can admire the arts and crafts of the state. Keep a look out for embroidered shawls, block-printed apparel, formal costumes and the ornamental clothes adorned by Sawai Madho Singh I.

It can take about two to three hours to explore the City Palace so we recommend starting early and keeping sufficient time in your Jaipur tourism itinerary.

Hawa Mahal is located on the main road amidst bustling markets and the mesmerising red- and pink-sandstone structure features on most Jaipur tourism itineraries. Built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799, Hawa Mahal owes its name to the unique architecture.

The mahal has more than 900 small mesh windows which allow cool wind to enter during summer. The wind keeps the mahal cool and comfortable during hot summers in Jaipur. The palace was constructed primarily for this reason. It allowed the women from the royal family to view the festivities from the windows and participate in the celebrations. It wasn’t considered appropriate for the women in the family to openly participate in any of the public proceedings. 

You can book a guided tour of Hawa Mahal in your Jaipur tourism itinerary to learn more about the architecture and the history of the palace. There are five floors in the mahal but not all areas are open to the public. Some parts of the palace are in ruins and it’s best not to venture into these areas, especially if you are travelling with children. The top of the mahal offers stunning views of the city, the City Palace and Jantar Mandir. 

We suggest heading here in the morning since exploring the mahal will not take more than two to three hours. If you have time in your Jaipur tourism itinerary, we also recommend spending time in the market outside Hawa Mahal. Offering a plethora of Jaipur’s popular arts and crafts, the market is a delight for shopping enthusiasts.

Activities And Things To Do In Jaipur

Spend a day at Elefantastic

Elephants have been an integral part of Mughal architecture and there is no better way of exploring Jaipur tourism than by spending time with them. Elefantastic gives adventure buffs and nature lovers an opportunity to experience the joy of spending time with these gentle creatures. Elefantastic is located a few kilometres from Jaipur and is a wonderful way to spend time in the city.

It has gradually gained importance in Jaipur tourism owing to the large number of activities it offers. You can choose from different packages but the most popular is the day package which includes spending time with elephants through a series of activities. These activities range from bathing an elephant to feeding it. A guide is with you throughout the experience to ensure you understand the temperament of the elephants.

If you choose to go for a package with Elefantastic, it's important to remember that it will take the entire day. It's best to schedule your Jaipur tourism itinerary accordingly. The package also includes a traditional meal at the end of the tour. This is not only a great way to interact with elephants but it also gives you an opportunity to learn more about the local culture. 

If you want to include a day tour to Elefantastic in your Jaipur tourism itineraries, you must keep some extra budget. The activity is expensive and can set you back by Rs.4000 to Rs.6000 per person. 

Enjoy a cultural evening in Chokhi Dhani

Chokhi Dhani has become a favourite for travellers from across the world. A luxury resort located a few kilometres away from the main city, it offers you a peek into the local way of life. The resort recreates the rural villages of Rajasthan and brings together the various art and craft forms that have put the state on the global map. 

Chokhi Dhani is divided into two sections. One section comprises the resort that is home to village-styled cottages and the other section houses a cultural village which sees performers from across the state. The resort is open for only the guests that book a stay, while the cultural village is open for everyone. The cultural village opens in the evening and includes a tour of the village, access to all the stalls in the village including dance, music and food stalls. While the entry to the village is free, you have to pay for the food which is served in the form of a sit-down buffet and a traditional-style buffet. You can choose either of the options but the traditional-style buffet is a favourite with all guests. The buffet includes all traditional dishes including gatte ki curry, bajra roti , kachori , lehsun ki chutney , ker sangri and khichdi . There is a separate dining area for those who don’t want to try Rajasthani cuisine. Serving Italian, Chinese, continental and Indian cuisines, the buffet is a favourite with most travellers. However, if you truly want to experience Jaipur tourism, we recommend choosing the traditional buffet. 

A visit to the cultural village is sought after in most Jaipur tourism itineraries owing to the huge number of activities and cultural performances. You can spend time at the intriguing parrot stall deciphering your future, indulge in some traditional games including shooting balloons and arm wrestling, explore the man-made maze village-maze covered with thick greens and spend time in the bustling shopping complex. The shopping complex gives artists from across the state a platform to exhibit their arts. If shopping is on your mind while exploring Jaipur tourism, we definitely recommend spending time here. 

Shop in the city’s markets

You can’t explore Jaipur tourism without including a visit to the city’s bustling markets. The markets of the city are its lifeline and if you want to experience the pulse of the city, there isn’t a better way. There are many tours that include a visit to the markets but you can easily explore them on your own. Most of the markets are located close to each other and irrespective of your interests, we recommend visiting all the markets in Jaipur. 

Johari Market is popular for precious stones, semi-precious stones and silver jewellery. Exquisite designs and handcrafted jewellery puts this market on the list of top markets to visit in India. While bargaining is not frowned upon, most of the rates depend on the material and make of the jewellery. 

Nehru Bazar is another delight which is part of Jaipur tourism. Offering a variety of footwear and bags, this market is ideal for those who enjoy great bargains. Sireh Deori Bazaar is located opposite Hawa Mahal and the series of shops here are a delight for shopping buffs. Among the most sought-after shopping markets in the city, you can find a variety of knick-knacks as well as wall hangings, leather shoes, and puppets. Some of the other markets that can feature in your Jaipur tourism itinerary, we recommend visiting Chandpole Market, Kishanpole Market and the Rajasthan Emporium.

Pyaz kachori , gatte ki sabzi , kadhi , bajra roti , ker sangri and khichdi are some of the popular dishes that you will find everywhere.

For non-vegetarians, lal maas is a big temptation and you can't explore Jaipur tourism without giving this spicy dish a try. Lal maas is one of the few dishes that have been passed on from generations and is made using red chillies by following a slow preparation process.

It's also worthwhile to mention that the street food in Jaipur is exceptional. You can choose to eat at any of the small local restaurants and you won't be disappointed.

How To Travel In Jaipur

The easiest way to explore Jaipur tourism is by hopping on a cycle rickshaw or an auto rickshaw. The old city is dotted with these easy and convenient means of transport which are more enjoyable than you’d imagine. Owing to the popularity of Jaipur tourism, private cab companies like Ola and Uber have also made travelling in the city easier. 

However, for those on a budget trip, we recommend booking an auto rickshaw for your sightseeing sprees or choosing a cycling tour. Auto rickshaws typically charge between Rs.300 and Rs.450 for a full day of sightseeing. This includes a visit to Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Nahargarh Fort, Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort. If you also want to include a visit to Birla Temple, Jantar Mantar and Albert Hall Museum, you will have to negotiate the fares. 

Jaipur also has a well-connected network of roads which makes travelling by buses easy. Though, if you are on a trip, we recommend not using buses as a means of transport simply because of the irregular schedule. Buses don’t always run on time and it might ruin your planned Jaipur itinerary.

The decor and profusion of each Chattri shows the stature and mastery of a particular king. Maharajas Pratap Singh, Madho Singh II and Jai Singh II, among others, are honoured here. The cenotaph .....

JAIPUR Itinerary • MUST READ! (2024)

“The Pink City” of Jaipur is majestic Rajasthan’s bustling capital and is just jam-packed with splendid palaces, mystical temples and unmatched shopping opportunities. Located in the Golden Triangle in the north of India, it’s been at the center of India’s cultural, artistic and scientific development since its foundation.

3 Day Jaipur Itinerary Overview

• Day 1 – Jaipur City Palace , Chandra Mahal , Street Food , Jantar Mantar , Hawa Mahal
• Day 2 – Albert Hall , Amrapali Museum , Lunch at Old Green Tandoori , Bazaar Shopping , Monkey Temple , Dinner at Arya Niwaz
• Day 3 – Amer Fort , Jal Mahal , Block Print Museum , Lunch at Anokhi , Gem Palace , Nahargarh Fort

As magical as Jaipur may seem when you’re ogling the pink palace, there are also parts of Jaipur that are far from picturesque. Choosing where to stay on your Jaipur trip is very important!

Bani Park is the best place to stay in Jaipur. It’s a tranquil and safe residential area that is within easy proximity to the sights on your Jaipur itinerary! It’s close to the train station and rickshaw drivers are always close by to get you around Jaipur.

There are numerous accommodation options ranging from budget to all-out luxury! Bani Park is actually the center of the haveli accommodation industry. Havelis are traditional Indian mansions that are built around a courtyard and you’ll find plenty of these charming hotels in Bani Park!

C Scheme is another good option to base your itinerary for Jaipur. It has fewer accommodation options than Bani Park but it is within walking distance of the major Jaipur attractions, such as the City Palace.

If you prefer to be right in the heart of things while on your Jaipur visit, consider Mirza Ismail Road (also known as MI Road). This colossal road cuts through the entire city, meaning it has ideal access to transport! The area has various accommodation options to suit all budgets and is ideal for those interested in shopping and local cuisine.

Best Hostel in Jaipur – Zostel Jaipur Hostel

Zostel Jaipur Hostel is the two-time winner of the best hostel in India prize so you know you’re in good hands here! It’s situated in the city center, near the Hawa Mahal. There’s free wifi, air conditioning for humid summers, and regular social events! The staff has gotten top marks for friendliness and helpfulness, while the hostel itself remains pristine.

Best Airbnb in Jaipur: Period property steeped in history!

This palatial, heritage property will make you feel like you stepped back in time the moment you walk through the door. It’s the kind of place where every detail has been considered and nothing skipped. Perfect for the insta-minded.

Best Luxury Hotel in Jaipur – Taj Rambagh Palace

With endless landscaped gardens, four-poster beds and on-call butlers, you could be forgiven for thinking you’re royalty at the Taj Rambagh Palace! After all, the hotel is a palace that was once the home of the Maharajah of Jaipur! The staff at this 5-star hotel is both discrete and efficient, and everything from cocktails to afternoon tea is on offer!

Day 1 of our Jaipur Itinerary takes in the historical pink city. Prepare to be amazed by the ancient palaces and swept up Jaipur’s manic energy. Wear comfortable shoes and light, loose clothing as there will be a bit of walking involved. You can get between the various attractions by Tuk Tuk which can easily be hailed from the street -just remember to barter hard on the price!

10.00 am – Chandra Mahal

Although it’s technically a part of City Palace, Chandra Mahal has its own entrance fee and a famed reputation in its own right! It’s a seven-story building but only the ground floor can be visited by tourists.

The royal collection on display at the museum is just spectacular, with everything from priceless manuscripts to rare carpets on display! Although it’s a bit pricey, most visitors agree that it’s worth it.

• How long should I stay here?  1 hour
• Getting there –  Take a Tuk Tuk or cab

11:30 am- City Palace

Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, Jaipur City Palace is a fusion of Mughal and Rajput architecture. The enormous complex took up one-seventh of old Jaipur so there’s plenty to see.

The Mubarak Mahal is one of the great highlights of the palace. It was constructed as a reception hall in the 19th century and today, it’s the palace museum. There are some truly envy-provoking clothes worn by the royal family on display!

In the Diwan-I-Khas, an audience chamber, you’ll find two silver vessels which hold the Guinness World Book of Records for the largest silver vessels in the world. They were used to carry water from the Ganges for Sawaii Madho Singh II who wanted to only drink the holy water while on tour in England!

If you can afford to splash out on just one thing, it should be a guided tour of the City Palace. The palace is just gigantic and has so many stories that only an insider can tell! If you don’t have a guide, try the audio guide which costs $3 USD.

• Cost  – $10
• Getting there  –  It’s adjacent to Chandra Mahal so use those feet!

1.00 pm – Street Food

If you are backpacking India on a budget then you will probably be living on street food. Indian street food is world-famous and if it’s your first time in Jaipur you have to try it! The offerings are varied are ubiquitous, the flavors tantalizing and best of all it is super cheap! Pakora’s (fried balls of spicy stuff) can readily be picked up from $0.10. You can find street food pretty much anywhere and the streets around City Palace and Chandra Mahal have a few stalls or kiosks operating.

Some western stomachs can be a bit sensitive to spices and ghee and but you don’t have too much to worry about in terms of hygiene. Just pick somewhere that looks popular and eat only food that is hot and fresh.

2.00 pm – Jantar Mantar

Jantar Mantar was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II who was fascinated with the mysteries of the skies. It continues to be a working astronomical observatory that fascinates tourists on vacation in Jaipur!

Vrihat Samrat Yantra, the huge sundial, is the crown jewel of Jantar Mantar. At 27m, it’s the tallest sundial in the world.

Jaya Prakash Yantra is another stellar highlight of our Jaipur itinerary. When the inverted image of the sky falls on the marble slabs, casting a shadow, it’s possible to determine the positions of various stars and planets!

Other fascinating instruments include Digamsa and Karnti Vritya which measure times for sunrise and sunset, and the solar sign of the sun, respectively.

Make sure that you get here around midday when the sun is overhead. This means you’ll be able to see how readings are taken from the various instruments much more easily than at other times!

• How long should I stay here?  30 – 60 minutes
• Getting there  –  A Tuk Tuk or Cab to the main entrance

3.30 pm – Hawa Mahal

The next of our places to visit Jaipur in 3 days is Hawa Mahal, the gorgeous “Palace of the Wind” and one of the classic Jaipur landmarks. It was built as an extension to City Palace in 1799 to allow royal ladies to watch street parades without being seen by the wider public.

The architecture of Hawa Mahal is just sublime. Admiring the facade, which is shaped a bit like a honeycomb, you can take in all 953 windows!

Some say that the shape was inspired by Lord Krishna’s crown.  When the royal ladies would watch street activities, they’d have the windows slightly open to let in a breeze, giving rise to the name “Palace of the Wind”.

Hawa Mahal is also reputedly the world’s tallest building without a foundation. If you notice a slight curve in the structure, that was a mechanism to compensate for the lack of a foundation!

• How long should I stay here?  2 hours
• Getting there  –  It’s a 9 minute walk from the last stop. Ask for “Hawa Mahal”.

Wanna know how to pack like a pro? Well for a start you need the right gear….

These are packing cubes for the globetrotters and compression sacks for the  real adventurers – these babies are a traveller’s best kept secret. They organise yo’ packing and minimise volume too so you can pack MORE.

Or, y’know… you can stick to just chucking it all in your backpack…

I do hope you saved some energy yesterday as Day 2 of our Jaipur Itinerary is equally as action-packed! Today we take in some colonial-era architectural gems, a few lovely museums, and finish with sunset up at the monkey temple; my personal favorite spot in Jaipur.

10:00 am – Albert Hall Museum

When the building first started on Albert Hall, no one had any idea of what purpose the structure would serve! Fortunately, Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh II approved an idea to create a museum in the space that would showcase the talents of local artists.

Albert Hall’s architecture is something of an attraction in itself. The Indian-Saracenic style incorporates features from various Indian architectural styles.

The museum walls are covered in murals depicting daily life in various other great empires, like Babylon and Egypt. This allowed citizens to compare their lives with others and develop their knowledge.

The 16 galleries inside the museum range from armor to miniature paintings. There are some fascinating coins that date back to before the 11th century! You’re also able to admire royal jewellery, intricate woodwork, and ivory statues.

• How long should I stay here?  60 – 90 minutes
• Getting there –  Take a Tuk Tuk or cab

11.30 am – Amrapali Museum

No, it’s not just another museum on the Jaipur itinerary; this is the Amrapali Museum and, trust us, it’s awesome! It has arguably the most state-of-the-art facilities to showcase hand-picked items from around India, and it’s just stunning.

Amrapali Museum was founded by two friends who went on an epic trip around India, sourcing unique items from various Indian tribes. The love and thought that went into this venture are so palpable in the museum that it’d be a shame to miss it when you travel to Jaipur!

The bulk of the museum’s collection is jewelry and expensive personal items. While you can easily give yourself free rein to explore the museum, there are a number of absolute must-see items on show!

One of the more unusual collections is that of  mukhnaals . These gilded objects were used by Indian kings as mouthpieces for hookahs. The eclectic designs range from fish to elephants!

Another insight into lavish royal life comes with the pair of  mojris  from around the 19th century. These shoes are made of solid gold and silver, encrusted with rubies and emeralds, and would have been worn for ceremonial occasions!

You may not be able to afford the real thing but upstairs there are some pretty good replicas for sale!

• Getting there  –  It’s a 5 – 10 minute ride by Tuk Tuk or cab

1.00 pm – Lunch at Old Green Tandoori

Today we’re having lunch at what is something of a Jaipur institution. Green Tandoori situated just opposite Chamelli market is a hub for foreigners re-fueling after browsing the markets and professional stone buyers. They do classic Indian dishes and amazing tandoori’s at bargain prices.

I recommend the Paneer Tikka Tandoori (cheese roasted in spices) chased down by a lassi – a typical Indian milk-based drink. Or, if you are very hungry take a Thali (mixed tray).

The Green Tandoori makes it very easy to access the next options in our itinerary.

• Cost  – $3 will properly fill you up
• Getting there  –  It’s a 9-minute walk or you can grab a Tuk Tuk for about 50rps

2.00 pm – Bazaar shopping

From turbans to musical instruments, Jaipur’s bazaars have anything and everything you can imagine on sale! Even if you’re not buying, just taking the vibrant atmosphere in will be a highlight of your Jaipur itinerary!

There are different markets and bazaars scattered across Jaipur each one specializing in something different from textiles, to stones to metal to random bits of crap!

Sireh Deori Bazaar is probably the most famous place to shop while touring Jaipur. It’s just opposite the Hawa Mahal and has a variety of goods, ideal for window shoppers who want to get an idea of what’s on offer! You’ll also find the best camel leather products here.

For a bit of Maharaja bling, head to Johari Bazaar. It’s a bit like an Aladdin’s cave, with heaps of precious stones and glittering metals. Handmade necklaces and any jewelry set with precious stones are the perfect souvenirs to remember your vacation in Jaipur many years after!

You’ll find carpets, dyed fabrics, and brassware at Tripolia Bazaar. There are also rows and rows of the colorful lac bangles that are so iconically worn by Indian women!

Finally, head to Chandpole Bazaar. It continues its long history of selling sculptures made from marble, wood or stone. The marble carvings are particularly gorgeous!

• Cost  – Pay for what you buy!
• How long should I stay here?  90 minutes +!
• Getting there –   Depends on which bazaar you want. Either walk or grab a Tuk Tuk

5.00 pm- Monkey Temple

The Monkey Temple, or Galta Ji Temple, is a temple dedicated to Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god.  Aside from being popular with tourists, the temple complex is still a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindu devotees

There are actually a series of temples to explore here and taking them all on will take you a few hours. It is a must-see in Jaipur in 3 days.

Take a Tuk Tuk to the bottom of the hill. Your driver will wait around if you pay him for his time and this may be the easiest and safest opinion.

Then you walk up the temple and make your way up the winding pathways to the summit. The monkeys are absolutely everywhere, watch your valuables and do not get too close to them as they can become aggressive.

The view from the top is great and it is a great spot from where to take in the sun-set. Bring a torch as making your way down after dark can be a bit tricky.

• Cost  – Donation for maintenance
• Getting there  – Hire a Tuk Tuk or cab and ask the driver to wait for you

7.00 pm – Dinner at Arya Niwaz

Arya Niwaz is an (expensive) Jaipur hotel that has an excellent, well-priced restaurant that is open to the public. It offers some of the best traditional vegetarian food in Jaipur and the menu format allows you to try multiple options. I recommend the Bindi (Okra) and Aubergine dishes. The salads are also decent and are washed in mineral water.

They don’t allow alcohol to be consumed on the premises but if you sit in the garden nobody is exactly watching you…

• Cost  – $3 – $5 for a feast
• Getting there –   Grab a Tuk Tuk. It’s a 10-15 minute ride in evening traffic

Zostel Jaipur

Zostel Jaipur is the two-time winner of the best hostel in India prize, so you know you’re in good hands here! It’s situated in the city center near the Hawa Mahal. There’s free wifi, air conditioning for humid summers, and regular social events!

• Free Parking

You may have 3 days in Jaipur, but there’s no need to search high and low wondering what to do in Jaipur next! Our incredible 3-day itinerary in Jaipur rounds up the final Jaipur attractions that will stoke your curiosity and steal your breath. Be sure to bring your best travel camera to record these precious moments!

07:30 am – Amer Fort

The jewel in the crown of Jaipuri tourism is without any doubt the splendid, epic, and captivating Amer Fort and Palace. Located some 20km away from Jaipur city, the fortress is built into the surrounding hills and was once t…

The best way to get here is to hire a Tuk Tuk for half day. He will drive you here, wait for you, can then stop by the Jal Mahal on the return leg and drop you either at your hotel or at our lunch spot.

The Fort itself is big with a number of different sections, It does get busy most days so get here EARLY. A guided tour is a good way to make the most of the fort.

Note that Tuk Tuk drivers will offer to take you textile stops on the way back from Amer Fort. If you are in the market for some, then do consider this but be mindful that they take you to their friends/cousins shop rather than the one that has the best wares. Personally I got an awesome shirt made via this method.

• How long should I stay here?
• Getting there –   It’s an hours drive from the centre of Jaipur. Hire a driver for half a day.

12.00 pm – Anokhi Museum of Hand Block Printing

Block printing is a proper Rajasthani tradition and some of the best block print work in the whole world is still done in Jaipur. If you are visiting Jaipur for the first time then you will certainly notice the blocks and fabrics on sale around you.

The Anokhi Museum is the stunning result of a true labor of love. It was founded by an Indian family and remains a privately-owned, small organization.

Anokhi is dedicated to preserving and promoting the threatened local hand block printing industry, and we think it’s doing a fabulous job.

There’s a small collection of historical textiles that help document the  evolution of hand block printing  in India. The focus, however, is on contemporary hand block printing from the 1960s to the present day.

There’s a rich permanent collection of clothing, raw fabrics and home furnishings that showcases the many varied patterns that these artisans have created in the last 60 years! This is accompanied by a photographic collection and items from the production process.

Learning about the different kinds of dyes (from natural to chemical processes) and tools (including brass and wooden blocks, as well as carving tools) is really an interesting experience to add to your Jaipur itinerary! The Anokhi Museum also hosts various temporary exhibitions. These might explore unique kinds of bedding from a small village or the use of traditional techniques in more contemporary styles of clothing. Don’t miss out!

• Getting there  –  Its en route back from Amer Fort

1.00 pm – Jal Mahal

Rising out of a body of glimmering water, Jal Mahal, or the Water Palace, has to be one of the most serene Jaipur points of interest! It was constructed at the end of the 18th century as a hunting lodge and was later renovated into the elegant palace we see today.

You can stop off here on the way back from Amer Fort and get your photo ops. Now, the Jal Mahal is also particularly beautiful at sunset but unfortunately, the sun doesn’t usually set at midday. Sorry about that bt this itinerary has to run on a schedule!

You’re probably wondering how a palace just “floats” on a lake and that’s a valid question! Firstly, you only see one level of the palace from above ground; below the water are a further four stories! When the palace was built, it wasn’t surrounded by a lake as the area was experiencing a severe drought.

To preserve the palace when the drought passed, the palace’s pink sandstone walls were coated in special lime mortar to prevent water seeping into the monument. Note that access to the Palace is by special request and private tour only.

• Getting there  –   It’s a 12 minute ride from the block museum

2.30 pm – Late Lunch at Anokhi

Anokhi is one of my favorite lunch spots in Jaipur. Located near Haveli & Sanjay Marg and set in a peaceful garden environment, they specialize in creating and serving up delicious, healthy, modern fusion foods. Dishes here include semolina pasta and vegetarian sushi. They also have a mega selection of tea, do great coffee, and filling cakes!

Prices are high for Jaipuri standards but don’t trouble most westerner budgets to be honest.

• Cost – $10 per person
• Getting there  –  Have your driver drop you here

4.00 pm – Gem Palace

Keeping with the theme of Jaipuri industries next up is a trip to the cities leading gem emporium (or gemporium…)

A veritable treasure trove, the Gem Palace is one of the best places to visit in Jaipur in 3 days! It’s home to both antique and modern jewelry that’s been in hot demand since the mid-19th century. If you’re shopping, be prepared to fork out your money but rest assured that the quality is unbeatable.

The store is owned by the Kasliwal family who first gained fame as court jewelers to the maharajas of India. The skilled jewelers and gem cutters passed their skills down to the present generation who have also brought in Western influences.

• Cost  – Pay for what you buy
• Getting there  –  Take a Tuk Tuk or cab

5.30 pm – Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh Fort’s walls are visible from many parts of Jaipur so it would be rude not to visit.

The story goes that while the fort was being built, strange things started happening. Each day the workers would come to work to find the previous day’s work destroyed.

The ruling Maharaja investigated and found that the land was haunted by the spirit of a tiger! To placate the tiger, a shrine to it was built and the fort was named after him: Nahargarh, meaning “abode of the tiger”!

Before you get lost in the wonders of  Nahargarh Fort itself , appreciate the fantastic views of Jaipur and the countryside that the hilltop location affords!

The fort was constructed in 1734 and you can still see the original 1km-long walls. Many of the other original structures have been destroyed. The highlight of the fort is the palace which dates from the late 19th century when it was used by Madho Singh II to keep his favorite concubines away from the disapproval of his officials and wives!

If you enjoy Indian sites with interesting stories, check out our guide to  the most mysterious places in India.

This is a very popular spot for Bollywood, music video & Instagram shoots. I’m not sure the Tiger spirit would approve.

• Getting there  –  It’s a 12 minute ride

Stash your cash safely with this money belt. It will keep your valuables safely concealed, no matter where you go.

It looks exactly like a normal belt  except for a SECRET interior pocket perfectly designed to hide a wad of cash, a passport photocopy or anything else you may wish to hide. Never get caught with your pants down again! (Unless you want to…)

When deciding when to visit Jaipur, the weather is the most important factor to keep in mind. Summers are incredibly hot, with temperatures reaching as high as 45 °C/113 °F. The added burden of dust and pollution makes summer even more unbearable. If you do visit Jaipur during this time, make sure to choose hotels with air conditioning and to drink lots of water!

Winter (from October to March) is actually the best time to visit Jaipur. The weather is warm and dry during the day but some nights can be very chilly! This is actually peak season so book your accommodation as soon as possible if you’re busy planning a trip to Jaipur.

Between August and September is monsoon season. Rainfall ranges between mild and moderate, and floods are rare. However, it is quite humid during this time. Photographers, though, will find an advantage to going on a Jaipur tour during this time. The monuments are fresh from the recent showers and the colors are more vivid!

The only way to get around Jaipur is by motor vehicle. The city is not suitable for walking primarily because of the big distances between attractions. However, aside from this, walking even manageable distances is simply not fun. Pavements are shoddy, traffic fumes punishing and roads dangerous to cross. Personally, I would not ever consider cycling in Jaipur either as the traffic is simply far too dangerous.

Fortunately, Tuk Tuk’s, cabs, and Motor’s (bikes) are plentiful and cheap. Uber operates across the city and is a lot cheaper than hailing transport on the street. If you do hail one from the street, barter very hard.

Planning a trip to Jaipur? Then this is what you need to know!

The weather in Jaipur ranges from punishing heat, damp humidity in monsoon, and gets a bit cool in winter. Packing for India can be a challenge as the environment and weather changes depending on where you are. In the warmer months, pack loose, thin clothes but remember to dress modestly to avoid unwanted attention. This is the mother of all Jaipur travel tips!

Bring a water bottle, hand sanitizer, diarrhea medication, and paracetamol in case Delhi Belly/Gandi’s revenge strikes.

Jaipur isn’t an especially dangerous city but you will need your wits about you. One of the more unusual safety hazards you may encounter on your Jaipur tour is monkeys!  Hold tight to your possessions as they’re notorious for grabbing. Monkey bites can transmit disease so keep your distance. Other than that;

• Take care when crossing roads.
• Pickpocketing does happen in crowded areas so be wary.
• Scams on foreigners are common all across India. There are far too many to list so as a rule, be just a bit wary of everybody.
• India has a bad reputation for overall sanitation which is semi-justified. Avoid tap water, bring hand sanitizer and only eat hot street food.
• Women travelers should take extra care. Dress modestly, avoid quiet, dark areas, and do not accept drinks from strangers.

Don’t Forget Your Travel Insurance for Jaipur

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

Final Thoughts

In Jaipur, you’re never too far from a UNESCO World Heritage Site or a centuries-old tradition. Whether you’re shopping up a storm in the bazaar or ogling the many windows of the Hawa Mahal, our Jaipur itinerary ensures that you’re always in the heart of the city’s rich heritage!

Jaipur’s beautiful monuments mostly remain just as they were when they were built, allowing visitors an intimate glimpse of its illustrious past. Coupled with a handful of intimate museums and tried-and-tested traditional techniques in the bazaars and workshops, this means that Jaipur’s past is as alive as its bustling present.

If tasty Indian sweets, lofty architecture and vibrant colors sound good to you, then Jaipur is definitely for you! The pink city offers a warm welcome to visitors and our Jaipur itinerary lets you dive right into this charming Indian city!

Q. Which is the best time to travel to Jaipur? A. The winter months between November and February are the best to visit Jaipur as the temperature stays between 26 and 8 degree Celsius. The day receives plenty of warm sun, making it ideal for sightseeing while the night temperature drops with cold winds picking up. It is the best season to explore on foot or on auto-rickshaws its various palaces, forts, monuments and bazaars, and eat-out at its quaint cafes and eateries lining the old walled city. Winters are also the time for the Jaipur Literature Festival which sees a gathering of literattis from around the world. Q. Which are the most popular attractions in Jaipur? A. A trip to Jaipur is incomplete without rounding up the City Palace and Hawa Mahal. The City Palace at the heart of the Pink City was constructed originally by Maharaja Jai Singh in 1720s. The Hawa Mahal, on the other hand, was built in the 18th century with the idea of letting courtly women watch the proceedings in the market below while remaining veiled behind its jaali windows and balconies. Q. Are there direct flights from Delhi to Jaipur? A. There are direct flights from Delhi to Jaipur, taking around 1 hour to cover the distance between Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and the Jaipur International Airport. You can expect to fly aboard AirAsia, Air India, IndiGo and GoAir that have flights at a decent frequency between the two cities. Q. How is Jaipur in monsoon? A. Jaipur receives intense rains in the monsoon months that stretch between July and October. The humidity is quite high and the rains can come down at anytime of the day, derailing your travel plans. This may not be the best time to walk around or travel in auto-rickshaws because the rains can leave quite a few puddles on the road. Though there is a mystical beauty about its monuments and forts in the rains, and it may be quite stunning to view these rain-drenched landmarks from a distance, monsoon could turn out to be a not-so-ideal time to visit Jaipur. The temperature remains between 34 and 23 degree Celsius. Q. Which are some of the popular places to eat in Jaipur? A. Niro’s on MI Road is a popular restaurant serving North Indian food outside of a smattering of Continental and Chinese. The queues gather outside it for its rendition of Rogan Josh and Butter Chicken. Don’t miss a visit to Hotel Pearl Palace’s Peacock Rooftop Restaurant, always crowded especially on weekends and serving a lavish multi-cuisine fare. Rajasthani thalis at lunchtime are quite the favourite here. Pandit Kulfi is your address for some paan or chocolate-flavoured kulfis. No better place than the Indian Coffee house to get your fill of filter coffee and some crisps. Q. What is Galta famous for? A. About 3 kilometre to the east of Jaipur is the steep valley home to the temples of Galta. Galta has two tanks filled by freshwater springs that creep in through the rocks on which a colony of monkeys depend for their survival. There are an assortment of shrines in Galta including those of Lord Hanuman, Lord Krishna and Lord Rama. To the top of the ridge is the Surya Mandir that affords majestic view of the city spread out below. Q. Can I do an elephant ride to Amber Fort? A. It is the primary attraction of Jaipur built of pink and pale yellow sandstone and white marble. You can get into the fort on an elephant back and feel like a royal. You also have the choice of taking a 4WD to the top. Enter through Suraj Pol and pass its main courtyard, Jaleb Chowk, further from which you can take a staircase leading to the main palace. View the silver doors of the Siladevi Temple, head to Diwan-i-Am and view the intricate latticed galleries. See the Maharaja’s quarters, the fresco details and all the other adornments. Hire the services of a guide to get some fascinating anecdotes. Q. Can I visit the Nahargarh Fort on a trip to Jaipur? A. It is about 15 kilometre from Jaipur and was built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a defence for the city of Jaipur. You can catch a spectacular sunset from the fort ramparts. The ramparts of the fort extend for nearly a kilometre before going round in a step-well. View the palace apartments in the old fort which housed the concubines of Madho Singh II in the late 19 th century. From the parking, you need to undertake a 20 minute walk uphill to reach the fort. Stop for some sandwich and coffee at the RSTC Padao Restaurant affording stunning views over Jaipur city. Q. Is it okay to visit Jaipur in summer? A. The summer months between March and June in Jaipur must be avoided like plague. The mercury shoots well over 40 degree Celsius and makes the days sweltering hot with heat waves lasting for the better part of the day. It is not all the time to venture on the streets, browse the bazaars of the walled city, or explore its forts and palaces. You will find extreme discomfort in pursuing sightseeing in this season, though the hotels get quite cheap. Sundown may be a good time to unwind at its many cafes and restaurants, but most major attractions are shut by then. Q. Which is the best place to shop in Jaipur? A. A souvenir shopper’s paradise, head to Bapu Bazaar in Pink City for purchasing all manner of textiles from block-prints to tie-and-dye. Beyond Zorawar Gate are emporiums selling wall-art and embroidered textiles. Amber Road is the place to pick up blue pottery bits such as vases, crockery, tiles and candle-stands. Shop for silver jewellery from Johari Bazaar and Chameliwala Market, the latter is also home to one of the city’s best collection of gemstones.

Jaipur Travel Guide 2024 – The Magical Pink City of Rajasthan

By: Author Sophie Pearce

Posted on Last updated: January 1, 2024

Categories JAIPUR , INDIA , RAJASTHAN

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for details.

If you’re heading to Jaipur to start your Rajasthan adventure, you’re in for a real treat as this is where your journey into India will really begin!

My heart always gives a little flutter when I start to see the first glimpses of the pink city in Rajasthan from the train window heading out of Delhi.

Well, although it’s nicknamed the pink city, it isn’t really pink. The buildings are actually more of a peach or orange colour.

But, it’s beautiful all the same. Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan and it’s a busy, bustling city that is spread out over the old and the new.

The old side definitely has more culture but the new also provides some of the 21st-century comforts like shopping malls, bars, and clubs etc.

It can be quite a maze finding your way around, so here is an essential first-timers Jaipur travel guide to the Pink city (which isn’t pink lol).

How to reach Jaipur in Rajasthan from Delhi or otherwise

Jaipur is easily accessible in India and it’s only 4 hours out of Delhi by train. The best train which I would personally recommend is the Shatabdi express which leaves early in the morning.

There are limited stops and you get fed breakfast which is great. I would personally recommend Cleartrip.com for booking train travel in India.

Read more of my Indian train travel tips here

I’m not sponsored, but I’ve struggled enough with the Indian rail company website to know it isn’t worth the stress! Jaipur also has an international airport, so you can fly in from Delhi in 45 minutes or so.

You can also get some really great deals on flights if you book far enough in advance. I would use flight apps like Skyscanner or Kiwi.com.

If you’re looking for your next destination out of Jaipur, you can head to Pushkar which is only 3 hours by bus. It’s one of the few peaceful towns of Rajasthan and one of my personal faves!

How to travel around Jaipur – the best ways to see the Pink City

As a lot of attractions are spread out in Jaipur it’s best to hire a Tuk-Tuk (petrol rickshaw), Tam-Tam (electric rickshaw), or Taxi for the day.

The going rate for a full day (8 hours in a Tuk or Tam) is 500 rupees. For a taxi, you’ll be paying 1600 rupees.

Uber also works in Jaipur so this could be an option if you’re wanting to only head to a few places.

You can load your card details and pay the metered price. This is most of the time cheaper than what Tuk-Tuks will charge!

Read my guide on how to use Uber in India here

Top Jaipur travel tips before you go

The rupee is king here and it’s recommended that you get cash. Although the ATM will probably give you 2000 rupee notes it’s best to change them into smaller change as soon as possible.

This will help when paying for attractions, shopping, transport etc.

Some helpful Hindi phrases

Quick Hindi 101

Hello: Namaste

How are you? Aap Kase Ho?

I’m fine: Main Thik Hun (pronounced mai-te khum)

How much? : Kit na?

Thank you: Dhanyavad

The best places to stay in Jaipur

There are hundreds of budget options to choose from in Jaipur.

Personally, I’m a fan of the little boutique Haveli’s (traditional Rajasthan hotels) as I feel it just adds to the adventure of where I am!

Nearby the railway station there are a lot of midrange Havelis which will cost you around £30-40 per night.

I stayed at Umaid Bhawan in Jaipur.

If you’re looking for high-end luxury, look no further than the Rambagh Palace .

It has a hefty price tag but it looks SO worth the money if you have it spare. If you’d like to just peak inside they have a good cocktail bar and restaurant to visit.

The best things to do in Jaipur

The Amer Fort sits around 15 kilometres away from the main city of Jaipur, so you’ll need to get a Tuk-Tuk, Tam-Tam, or Taxi here.

I would recommend starting your day off here in the morning to beat the heat and the crowds!

This fort is the most beautiful in Rajasthan and showcases some fantastic history of Maharajas of old and royal apartments.

You can also get some awesome views of Jaipur and the Nahargarh Fort as it stands so high.

A lot of people choose to ride the elephants up the hill to arrive in style and although shamefully, I have done this in the past, I would recommend that you don’t.

A lot of these elephants face long-standing abuse from their owners and I felt quite uncomfortable seeing the way they were treated with bullhooks.

If you were looking for an elephant experience that is safe and kind for elephants, I would recommend Elephantastic which I will go into below.

Elephantastic

Elephantastic is truly a beautiful sanctuary for our wise old friends. Rahul, the owner, used to be a rider at the Amer fort.

But, when he saw how the elephants were treated for tourism he decided to rescue them from harm and make a safe haven for them in his sanctuary.

Rahul truly cares for his elephants and ensures they are kept safe from harm, that they’re well-fed, and have good medical treatment when needed.

When I booked my session, he wrote to me apologising for the fact that I wouldn’t be able to wash them as it was too cold for them in winter.

This is truly a testament to the fact that it’s not about making money, it’s about ensuring the elephants are happy and well.

In his human-elephant interaction programme, you will meet his friendly elephants which you can hug, feed sugar cane, paint (will natural safe paints of course), wash them, ride (if you want to) and have a chat with :).

Then, depending on your package, you will meet his family and be treated to a home-cooked meal which is delicious!

It was a really touching experience and one I have cherished as a highlight of my travels in India.

Jaipur City Palace

The City Palace in Jaipur is quite a basic one. It’s not as grand as the one in Udaipur, but it does have some amazing architecture to marvel at.

The main thing which is quite iconic is the set of royal archway doors located in the centre.

This door is located on the cover of Lonely Planet for their Rajasthan and the north of India publication and I guess that’s why people want a click there!

They have a pretty café that serves up some amazing melt-in-the-middle chocolate muffins and you can see some traditional puppet shows in peak season.

I would recommend buying a tourist ticket which includes entrance into this palace, Jantar Mantar, Albert Hall Museum, Nahargarh/Jaigarh fort, and more. It’s around 1000 rupees but will save you money!

The palace of winds is the most iconic palace in Jaipur. But, as it’s on a busy road it’s quite easy to miss as you whizz by in the traffic!

When you get dropped off there is a little area to observe and take photos within the market street.

Unless you want a really bad angled photo that is almost vertical, I would head across the street to observe it in the many cafés there.

The wind café serves up some good food and a banging chai. When I first got to Hawa Mahal, there was a guy snake charming and offered for me to join!

Super-tourist in action here, but it was SO fun! At one point, the snake did get a little angry and so it was time I bolted haha.

Hanuman temple | Galta Ji Temple

This temple is also known as the monkey temple in Jaipur, but I got told off calling in that.

But, most tourists know it like this due to the massive tribe of monkeys which have made the place their home!

There are two parts to this place, on the one side there’s the part where you can meet the monkeys. There are so many making mischief around, so if you’re afraid of getting bitten, I would avoid it.

We hired a Bandar walla (monkey guy) to take us up to the top. We bought some monkey nuts and he will teach you how to feed and touch them. At first, I kept dropping the peanuts as soon as they got near.

But, after I became a little more comfortable I let them climb on my shoulder. I did also get an offer to be trained in the art of monkey calling. Two months is all he needed and I would be set. Nice offer, but I think I’ll give it a miss lol.

On the other side, is the part where there is a bathing area. One for women and one for men. I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s crawling with boys! The woman’s area was pretty much deserted.

Nahargarh fort

There are two forts in Jaipur, the Nahargarh fort and Jaigarh fort.

Nahargarh Fort has a far more impressive view and if you’re going to choose one let this be it.

There’s a cute restaurant at the end of the fort which provides the view in the below photo.

I think I paid like 50 rupees to get in but I got a drinks voucher to enjoy a coke with the view.

I was actually here to celebrate my first Diwali last year and so this fort provided a birds-eye view of all the colourful lights, fireworks, and fun!

The best places to eat in Jaipur

Chokhi dhani.

This tourist attraction some would deem tacky, but I absolutely LOVED it! It’s essentially a tourist cultural village, which gives you an insight into traditional Rajasthan culture.

You pay for your meal choice. You can have the traditional Indian tali non-Air Con, the Indian tali AC, and the International cuisine restaurant.

My friend and I chose the traditional A/C as we thought it would be more comfortable to eat.

A thali is essentially a tray that comes with little pots of traditional Indian foods. You’ll have curries, chutneys, rice, naan bread, dessert, and even buttermilk (YUK).

You’ll eat to the sound of traditional Rajasthan music which is really nice.

After, you can enjoy loads of entertainment which comes included in your ticket. Puppet shows, seeing how chapatis are made, camel rides, dancing, fortune-telling, and a cheap marketplace are all here.

You can even get some traditional henna done for free and dress up in traditional Rajasthan dress.

This photo kickstarted my trail of getting dressed up for photos on my trip to India. It’s just so fun.

I would highly recommend this if you’re stuck for somewhere to go in the evening, you won’t regret it! For more information see their website.

Café Palladio

When I first saw this café on Instagram, I couldn’t believe it was in Jaipur let alone India.

The design is flawless and the wallpaper is to die for! It looks like something out of a fairy tale. So, when I knew I was heading back to Jaipur I had to check it out.

The menu serves up international cuisine including my favourite pastry dessert Baklava!

Unfortunately, this was sold out when I got there (maybe it’s seasonal) and so I just went for coffee. It actually tasted like real coffee too, which was a welcome taste from Bru (cheap Indian coffee which tastes like water haha). It was only 110 rupees too which was a bargain for the setting.

Their food menu boasts fresh salads and Italian pasta dishes which actually have authentic ingredients.

A treat for the taste buds after so much curry! See my full review on Café Palladio here.

I absolutely love Jaipur and it’s somewhere I come back to time and time again.

It’s the definition of Rajasthani culture in action and it will stay with you months or even years after you’ve left.

If you’re looking for a place to celebrate Diwali, I would recommend coming here as it’s a special time to find yourself in the city.

The whole place is lit up in all different colours and beautiful fireworks. Make sure you don’t miss it when you’re in India.

Your post is so useful and nice author. Thank you for sharing.

@Sophie Pearce, Hi Sophie, I’ve really enjoyed your posts but it’s been a while and things change rapidly. It would bd great if people would update . Same wTrip Advisor forum some posts are now so old that it is not easy to plan with current information. I am currently in Jaipur . It is just so safe and easy to self guide around old city. Walk and take some rickshaws. Many electric. Obviously need transport to forts and out of town. But again I’m surprised that travellers feel persuaded to have guides. I get it supports local economy but can be tedious when we can read z guide! It can interfere w being in the moment and just enjoying!

From Jodhpur, I took a night train and arrived at Jaipur at 4am but the flow of people coming and going in this early morning was still as crowded and bustling as during the day. Pulling my luggage off the platform with dozens of tuktuk drivers beckoning to bid to the hotel, the advice for you at this time is to never nod.

Just get off the platform, go out into the street and catch another tuktuk, you will be have a much cheaper deal.

I reiterate the previous cities a little bit on my India journey to give you an idea of ​​the itinerary. I’ve visited Jaisalmer (Golden City), Jodhpur (Blue City), Udaipur (White City) and Jaipur (Pink City) are all famous tourist cities not only in the state of Rajasthan but also of India, every year the number of tourists flocking here is huge, contributing to the city’s important budget revenue is tourism.

Jaipur travel blog: The Pink City of magnificent palaces

Jaipur has many spectacular, splendid palaces, all of which are magnificent and unique among the cities of Rajasthan. Why is Jaipur called the Pink City?

Jaipur was officially found in 1727. And to please Prince Albert during his tour of the cities of India, then a British colony, as well as create a close relationship with the British Royal Family. At that time, the Indian leaders then ordered to paint the city in pink color as well as build palaces and lavish meeting rooms to make Prince Albert when he arrive, he would be delighted and curious after a tiring journey through many Indian cities.

On the other hand, terracotta pink is also a color that means hospitality.

Today, in the old town area of ​​Jaipur, all buildings and houses are still required to be painted in this earthy pink color, it has become a local law, which also helps Jaipur to be known more for its unique and signature.

Jaipur blog: When to come?

The city of Jaipur straddles the boundary of two climate zones: hot desert climate and hot semi-desert climate. The average annual rainfall in Jaipur is about 650mm. April to July is the summer with quite hot weather. The average temperature is always above 30 degrees Celsius. Winter lasts from November to February next year, the weather is cooler. The average temperature is only about 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. You should come here in the period from September to March next year.

Jaipur travel guide blog: How to get to Jaipur?

By train: Jaipur is about 280km from New Delhi and tourists often choose the tourist triangle New Delhi – Agra (with Taj Mahal Mausoleum) – Jaipur. You can book train tickets at 12go.asia website from Jaisalmer, Jodhpur or Udaipur, Agra to get to Jaipur very easily.

By plane: Jaipur International Airport (JAI) is about 13km from the city center. From Vietnam you can fly to Jaipur with AirAsia, transit in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) or Don Mueang Airport (Thailand).

By car: If from nearby cities like Jodhpur, Udaipur, Agra… you can also rent a car to get to Jaipur very easily.

Jaipur blog: Where to stay?

Of course, you should find a hotel in the central area even though the attractions are located in the suburbs. It is not necessary to find a room near the airport/train station because traveling by tuktuk is quite cheap and convenient.

Because in the center, you will easily find restaurants with meat (pork, chicken) because most of them are meat-free.

I stayed in Times Flute Boutique Hotel ( Agoda.com or Booking.com ) which is quite beautiful, clean and modern design style.

Jaipur tourist guide: What to eat?

It’s quite a headache with eating because I’m used to eating meat, so it’s difficult to find a restaurant with meat that’s convenient on the way to places of interest. So, I almost have to eat vegetarian dishes with curry, pizza with roti or fried rice.

It is also difficult to find a minimart or supermarket.

Jaipur guide: Where to go and what to do in Jaipur?

Address: Hawa Mahal Rd, Badi Choupad, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India Hours: 9AM–5PM

This is the first place of my Jaipur journey. In the early morning, I took a tuktuk from the hotel to Hawa Mahal in the cold of 10 degrees Celsius in Indian winter, the fog was still lurking, the sun was rising and the heart was very excited because of the reputation of Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of winds castle, magnificent, beautiful and full of expectations.

I came at 7:00 am, choose the cafe opposite Hawa Mahal to admire all its beauty from afar, while waiting until 9 am to open to go inside.

There are 2 cafes with the best views of Hawa Mahal: Wind View Cafe and The Tattoo Cafe. Follow a small, old building, you will climb to the terrace of these two shops.

Order a cup of hot coffee, a pizza for about 200 Rupees for breakfast and watch the Hawa Mahal shining brightly in the morning, absolutely stunning.

At around 9 am, buy a ticket of 200 rupees/person to access inside to visit the palace of the empresses in the past. Hawa Mahal was built in 1799, with 5 floors, height of 15m, in Mughal, Rajput architectural styles, with many small windows to let the wind into the palace to cool off in the hot summer of Jaipur.

On the other hand, letting the Royal women see the bustling streets and markets below without fear of being seen by commoners, it was taboo.

City Palace

Address: WRGF+8F7, Tulsi Marg, Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India Hours: 9:30AM–5PM Architect: Vidyadhar Bhattacharya Construction started: 1727 Architectural style: Mughal architecture Opened: 1727

City Palace is the Royal palace of the former rulers of Jaipur. It is a complex of large architectural works, including many different parts such as the palace of the empresses, the garden, the meeting room… and now are used as a luxury restaurant, the museum of fabric, pictures, weapons… for visitors to visit.

The entrance ticket price is 700 Rupees/person, which is quite expensive. With this ticket, you will be allowed to visit a complex of other structures, not far away. However, in my opinion, those places were not very beautiful, so I skipped them.

Notably when visiting City Palace, you will be introduced to a very beautiful isolated area called Chandra Mahal, and to enter here, you have to buy a ticket again of 3,500 Rupees to visit and a light drink. Too expensive!

In the City Palace there is a very beautiful area, called Pritam Niwas Chowk. This area has 4 gates painted with elaborate peacock motifs, each gate has its own color. This gate is called Peacock Gate, so don’t miss this place!

Jantar Mantar

Address: Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India Hours: 9AM–4:30PM

Jantar Mantar is also one of the world heritage sites recognized by UNESCO. This is an ancient observatory built by King Maharaja Jai Singh II. In addition to the Jantar Mantar observatory, he also built all 5 observatories in New Delhi, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi. Here you will understand because after ancient times without computers, people could still calculate extremely high things.

Hanuman Temple

Traveling to Jaipur without visiting the Hanuman temple is a pity. This is a very special temple because in the past, the monkey “tribe” made this temple their home. Therefore, when visiting Hanuman temple, you will see there are many naughty monkeys.

Address: Devisinghpura, Amer, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302001, India Hours: 8AM–5:30PM, 6:30–9:15PM Opened: 1592

Amber Fort is located on a high hill, overlooking Lake Matao. This fortress includes many beautiful inner palaces for you to visit. From the city center to get here is about 15km.

You should spend a whole day from early morning to late evening just going to this group of attractions including Amber Fort, Sheesh Mahal, Palace Mahal, Nahargart Fort, these attractions are very beautiful and almost next to each other, you can walk or hire a electric car, very convenient.

One interesting thing is that you can go into Amber Fort by an elephant. The giant elephants stagger up the slope to bring visitors inside to visit and leave along the road full of stinking dung fields.

In front of Amber Fort, there is a very beautiful pigeon area, don’t forget to visit here!

Sheesh Mahal

Address: XVP2+77J, Devisinghpura, Amer, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302028, India

Sheesh Mahal is located inside Amber Fort, ask passersby, they will show you the way to this palace. Sheesh Mahal or the ‘Palace of Mirrors’ was built by Emperor Maharaja Narinder Singh (1845-1862). The palace was built in a forest with terrace, garden, fountain and an artificial lake.

The king drew great painters from Kangra and Rajasthan to paint the walls of Sheesh Mahal with many images related to literature, myths and legends that are very unique and impressive, especially the door leading to the inside with extremely beautiful sculptural motifs.

Nahargarh Fort

Address: WRP8+W6C, Krishna Nagar, Brahampuri, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India Hours: 10AM–10PM

Nahargarh Fort, perched on the high rugged Aravali hill overlooking the city of Jaipur. The fortress was built in 1734 to help defend the city. It became famous in 2006, after many scenes in the movie Rang De Basanti were filmed there.

From Nahargarh Fort, you look over the city in a beautiful sunset. I had to go here twice just to watch the sunset, so majestic.

From Amber Fort, follow the steep rocky path, you walk up to Nahargarh Fort, quite far. If you do not want to climb the slope, you can buy a round-trip electric car ticket of 350 Rupees / person, remember to keep the ticket for the return trip.

Albert Hall Museum

Address: WR69+PRF, Museum Rd, Ram Niwas Garden, Kailash Puri, Adarsh Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302004, India Hours: 9AM–5PM, 7–10PM Opened: 1887

It’s an old museum, looking old and especially with countless pigeons. They swooped down in swarms to eat and then hovered around the building like an abandoned palace.

You can buy tickets to go inside, however, taking pictures with pigeons outside seems more reasonable.

Maharaja Ki Chhatri

Address: 309B, Mangala Rd, Bada Akhada, Krishna Nagar, Brahampuri, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India Hours: 6AM–6:30PM

Is a unique architecture combining Hinduism and Islam, located about 7km from Amber Fort. This is the cremation site of the Royal Maharajas who once ruled Rajasthan. A beautiful architecture you should visit when visiting Jaipur.

The Great Wall of Jaipur

This is the structure that impressed me the most. Just imagine how the Great Wall of China is, in Jaipur, there is also a building similar to the Indian architectural version and is much smaller and shorter. Early in the morning, climb up here to watch the sunrise and the view of Amber Fort from here is very beautiful.

Address: XR3W+9CQ, Amer Rd, Jal Mahal, Amer, Jaipur, Rajasthan 302002, India Hours: 12–10:30PM Architect: Pratap Singh of Jaipur Opened: 1799

Jal Mahal is a floating palace in the middle of Man Sagar lake in the city of Jaipur. On your way from the city center to Amber Fort, you will pass by the lake and see this palace.

You can request the tuktuk driver stop for 30-minute to take pictures and admire it from afar, especially in the early morning when the sun rises, Jal Mahal emerges as beautiful as a canvas.

Patrika gate

Address: RRR2+JGQ, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Patrika gate is a colorful gate with bold Hindu imprint, located in front of Jawahar Circle Garden.

This circular park includes a complex of gardens, fountains, walkways… but the most prominent is the Patrika gate.

There is no entrance fee, but to take pictures without bride and groom couples or other tourists, you should tip a little money to the gatekeeper, 100 Rupees for example.
