16 Top-Rated Attractions & Places to Visit in Jaipur

Written by Joni Sweet Updated Mar 24, 2023

No trip to India is complete without spending time in Jaipur. Affectionately nicknamed "The Pink City" for the blushing color of its historic buildings, Jaipur is a princely wonderland of culture and heritage.

The best places to visit in Jaipur showcase the royalty of Rajasthan — and you don't have to walk far to see many of the top attractions. Start by touring City Palace , a nearly 300-year-old palace with special courtyards, structures, gardens, and temples.

Just next door is Jantar Mantar, a centuries-old attraction with giant astronomical instruments commissioned by the founder of the city. A 10-minute walk from here brings you to Hawa Mahal , a red-and-pink sandstone structure. Its distinctive lattice design allowed royal women to get a peek at public life while remaining unseen in the 19th century.

Ready to make your trip to "The Paris of India" a memorable experience? Map out your itinerary with our guide to the top attractions and places to visit in Jaipur.

City Palace in Jaipur

City Palace has stood at the heart of the Old City of Jaipur for nearly three centuries, shortly after Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II decided to relocate his court from the city of Amber. Protected by huge guard walls, the fairy-tale-like structure is still the home of the city's modern-day royal family and endures as one of the top places to visit in Jaipur.

City Palace is more than a sand-colored regal abode — it's a sprawling complex of buildings built around a series of landscaped garden courtyards overlooking Jaipur and Lake Palace. The entire property is a stunning display of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture.

The current occupants reside in the most eye-catching building, the Chandra Mahal , an elegant structure with curved eaves and domed rooftops. Each of its seven stories features an entirely different style. The ground floor is included in the price of admission, but you'll need to book a private tour to go upstairs.

Other noteworthy places for sightseeing at City Palace include the Mubarak Mahal (Welcome Palace), which contains displays of dazzling costumes and textiles; the Armoury, a museum-like space dedicated to preserving finely crafted daggers and swords; Pritam Niwas Chowk (Peacock Courtyard), which has mesmerizing doorways painted to look like the feathers of its namesake bird; and Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), which showcases the palace's exquisite collection of miniature paintings.

After exploring the palace, check out the Friends of the Museum Bazaar . It has some of Jaipur's highest quality souvenirs (with equally high prices).

Address: Tulsi Marg, Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

Jantar Mantar

At first glance, Jantar Mantar may look to be nothing more than a bunch of larger-than-life abstract sculptures. But this is not an art gallery — this attraction contains a special collection of astronomical tools started by Rajput ruler Jai Singh II to measure the heavens nearly 300 years ago.

Each of the 20 or so structures at this UNESCO World Heritage Site serves a distinctive purpose. The observatory's massive sundial, known as Samrat Yantra , is particularly striking. At 27 meters tall, it casts a huge shadow that accurately measures time down to two seconds.

The elaborate Jai Prakash also tracks the passing of time, using the shadow of a metal plate suspended above a sunken bowl-like structure. The ingenious Rama Yantra, a circular walled structure, can locate the precise positions of celestial objects. Other tools at the observatory can track stars and even predict eclipses.

Hot tip: It's worth hiring a private guide at Jantar Mantar if you want to learn how each of the structures works.

Address: Gangori Bazaar, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

Hawa Mahal

If you had any preconceived notions about how the buildings in Jaipur look, they probably came from Hawa Mahal (Palace of Breeze). A top place to visit in Jaipur, this structure has all of the distinctive architectural features that appear in postcards of the city, from the salmon-pink, honeycombed facade, built to resemble the crown of the Hindu god Krishna, to the geometric accents and rows of tiny windows.

The landmark was built in 1799 to allow royal ladies to watch festivals on the street without being seen by the public. Its 953 windows allow plenty of breezes to pass through, making it an ideal summer palace (and the perfect spot to get relief from Rajasthan's oppressive heat today).

Tourists can learn about the history of the sandstone structure at the palace's small museum — the ceremonial armor collection is particularly interesting. You can also wander the narrow hallways that run throughout the palace. Don't miss the colorful glasswork in windows and doorways, which cast an otherworldly glow on chambers throughout Hawal Mahal.

Address: Hawa Mahal Rd., Badi Choupad, J.D.A. Market, Pink City, Jaipur

Amber Fort

Jaipur is home to one of India's most-visited forts: Amber Fort. Built in the year 1592, the sandstone and marble monolith stands atop a small hill roughly 20 minute's driving distance northeast of the center of Jaipur. This attraction is best known for being a pristine example of Rajasthani architecture.

Getting to Amber Fort typically involves a short uphill hike that's well worth the effort. It's decked out with intricate patterns of inlaid marble in nearly every color of the rainbow. The fort is laid out into four separate sections, each of which has a spectacular garden courtyard outside. While you'd never know it from above, you can actually explore the fort's underground tunnels , some of which have been restored.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site has a fascinating history of legends, betrayals, and romance — but the best way for tourists to hear these stories is to hire a private guide at the Amber Fort.

Address: Devisinghpura, Amer, Jaipur

Albert Hall Museum

When English writer Rudyard Kipling visited the Albert Hall Museum in Jaipur, he wrote that it was a "rebuke to all other museums in India from Calcutta downwards." That's high praise coming from the son of a curator, and fitting for this renowned institution.

The oldest museum in Rajasthan, the Albert Hall Museum boasts an extensive collection of art and historically significant artifacts. Come for the Egyptian mummy ; stay to see antique coins from different periods in India's history, charming permanent exhibits of miniature paintings, 18th-century costumes worn by members of different castes, and a peculiar collection of 19th-century clay figures demonstrating all the yoga poses.

Hot tip: Visit the museum at night, when multicolored lights brighten the exterior of the alluring building.

Address: Museum Road, Ram Niwas Garden, Kailash Puri, Adarsh Nagar, Jaipur

Birla Mandir

In a city that seems to be dipped from top to bottom in pink, the stark white marble Birla Mandir stands out — big time. The Hindu temple pays tribute to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and purity, and Vishnu, one of the religion's main deities. It's one of the best places to visit in Jaipur for tourists and Hindu devotees alike.

The marvelous structure exudes a quiet, peaceful vibe, offering just the right atmosphere to appreciate fine marble carvings, shrines to gods, and gorgeous sunset views. While you don't need more than 30 minutes to get a sense of the space, the experience will prove to be a restorative break from a day of sightseeing.

Address: Jawahar Lal Nehru Marg, Tilak Nagar, Jaipur

Nahargarh Fort

When it comes to sightseeing around Jaipur, the views don't get better than what you'll find at Nahargarh Fort. Also known as Tiger Fort , this nearly 300-year-old attraction overlooks the entire city from atop the Aravalli Hills — a prime location for the structure to defend the city against enemies many years ago.

More than just a formidable barrier though, this fort also contains Madhavendra Bhawan , a summer destination for royalty. The sumptuous Rajasthani building features a dozen identical boudoirs for the queens, which all connect to the king's suite through mural-filled corridors.

Tourists can also explore the fort's wax museum and sculpture park. And if you're feeling hungry, swing by one of the fort's many restaurants to tuck into traditional Indian cuisine.

Address: Krishna Nagar, Brahampuri, Jaipur

Galta Ji

Sources of water can be few and far between in the desert state of Rajasthan. So it's no wonder that when people discovered a natural spring in a mountain pass in the Aravalli Hills , they honored it by building the Hindu temple Galta Ji.

Nestled between cliffs, the temple features a few sacred water tanks, some with modest fountains, as well as frescoes that tell tales about the Hindu god Krishna.

Galta Ji is also one of the best places to visit in Jaipur if you want to see monkeys . It's home to hundreds of macaques and langurs (hence its nickname, "The Monkey Temple"). Daring tourists might opt to buy a handful of peanuts at the gate to tempt the monkeys, but you're better off just watching the rambunctious creatures from a distance.

Indian bracelets with diamonds and jewels

When the founders of the beloved Indian jewelry brand Amrapali Jewels started collecting antique jewelry in the late 1970s, they realized that some of these one-of-a-kind treasures deserved to be preserved and displayed. And so the Amrapali Museum was born, instantly becoming one of the top places to visit in Jaipur.

The jewelry museum in Jaipur features two full floors of glistening jewels and objects from its 4,000-piece collection, showcasing the vast range of Indian craftsmanship.

The displays show just how seriously Rajasthani people take their gold, silver, and precious gems. Among the jewels, you'll see silver bands for horses' legs, a chariot fully covered in silver, embellished shoe covers, and a glorious crown for a groom from Himachal Pradesh.

While these pieces are for display only, there's an extensive range of necklaces, bracelets, and other wearables available for purchase at the Museum Shop.

Address: Ground Floor, K, 14/B, Ashok Marg, Panch Batti, C Scheme, Ashok Nagar, Jaipur

For much of history, Rajasthan's most important handicrafts and works of art lived in private collections that were unavailable for viewing by the majority of the public. That all changed when the Government of Rajasthan opened the Museum of Legacies in 2017.

Housed in a two-centuries-old mansion, this tourist attraction showcases an assortment of Indian embroidery, giant Rajasthani puppets, Pichwai paintings, and much more.

Don't miss the magnificent marble latticework. The amount of swirling detail the artisans were able to carve from such a strong, hard stone is hypnotic.

Address: Kishanpole Bazar Road, Modikhana, Jaipur

Jal Mahal on Man Sagar Lake

One look at the Jal Mahal, and you might think you're seeing a mirage. The graceful palace seems to float atop the twinkling Man Sagar Lake — a calm sight compared to the rest of the frenzied city.

While it appears to have just one story, the Water Palace has four other levels submerged beneath a reservoir. The government no longer allows tourists to visit the site, but you can stroll a pathway around the lake to catch gorgeous views of the attraction. At night, it's lit up in all its glory, casting a golden, glowing reflection on the water.

Rajasthani puppets for sale in Jaipur

Jaipur is a mecca for souvenirs. Markets in the Pink City brim with everything from costume jewelry and precious gemstones to embroidered textiles, cobalt blue pottery, and Rajasthani puppets.

For a no-hassle shopping experience, head to the Rajasthali Handicrafts Emporium across from Ajmeri Gate. The government-run shop sells high-quality traditional handicrafts, like blue pottery decorated with yellow flowers, sets of wooden carvings depicting Rajasthani characters, and hand-printed saris. The prices you see on these items are fixed, so while you won't be able to negotiate a discount, you can also avoid the headache of bargaining.

Johari Bazar is a jewelry lover's paradise. The market glitters from top to bottom with dozens of shops selling everything from costume jewelry to fine silver and gold. No matter your budget, you'll find something beautiful to take home from here.

Finally, don't leave Jaipur without a quick shopping trip to Bapu Bazar. Located just a few blocks southwest of Johari Bazaar, the tourist-favorite market is chock full of handcrafted trinkets, locally made textiles, bedazzled slippers, and souvenirs galore.

Jaigarh Fort

Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort is one of the best places to visit in Jaipur if you want a remarkable view and up-close access to historical artifacts. It's best known for housing the Jaivana Cannon, which was considered to be the world's largest cannon on wheels when it was built in the early 18th century.

Visiting the attraction gives tourists an appreciation for the fort's role in keeping Jaipur and the surrounding area safe from invaders. Spread over a range of three kilometers, the fort features thick sandstone walls and a series of subterranean passages. It's thought to be the strongest of Jaipur's forts.

Beyond fortified, though, the fort was also an opulent place when it was in use. You can still see its majestic palace complex and intricate architecture on tours today.

Panna Meena ka Kund

Another one of the popular things to do in Amer after visiting the Amber Fort is taking a 10-minute walk south to visit Panna Meena ka Kund, a stepwell that dates back to the 16th century.

Locals used to come to this spot to fill their pots with water for rituals and household chores. It was also the go-to place to cool off from the intense desert heat.

Today, the attraction's primary purpose is as a backdrop for tourist photos — and for good reason. Its golden yellow hue and labyrinthine steps, which look like they were plucked from one of M.C. Escher's artworks, make for postcard-worthy images . But as tempting as it might be to enter the beautiful attraction for a selfie, Panna Meena ka Kund does not allow visitors to go inside, so keep your photo shoot to the exterior only.

Akshardham Temple in Jaipur at night

Akshardham Temple might look like an ancient site, but don't be fooled — this attraction was built in the 21st century as part of a series of 10 temples dedicated to the Hindu god Narayana (a form of Lord Vishnu).

Still, the 23-acre religious complex is an impressive place to spend the afternoon. The white marble and pink sandstone temple showcases the intricacy of Hindu architecture with its stone carvings of Hindu deities, animals, and scenery. Step inside to see massive pure-gold statues and pristine paintings. There's also a peaceful garden courtyard brimming with lush plants and a musical fountain just outside.

Address: Vidyut Nagar, Vaishali Nagar, Chitrakoot, Jaipur

Elephant Festival in Jaipur

Attending an annual festival is one of the top things to do in Jaipur, and the city's calendar is chock full of events.

In January, you can watch colorful creations fly through the sky during the International Kite Festival and get books signed by famous authors at the Jaipur Literature Festival.

The city hosts its Elephant Festival, during which the tusked animals are painted with Indian motifs and dressed in extravagant costumes, in February or March (depending on the moon cycle). And the two-day Teej Festival, a celebration that honors the union of Shiva and the goddess Parvati, occurs in July or August.

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.

Whether it’s a museum of handmade textiles or a sprawling astronomical observatory you’re after, you’ll find this living history all over our Jaipur itinerary!

Jaipur is so big and so manic that it can be a challenge to pack everything in. But when you decide to follow our Jaipur itinerary, you’re getting so much more than just a list of sites to visit. From the best place to stay in Jaipur in 3 days to the nearest eatery for every attraction, we’ve really thought of everything!

Just stick close to our 3 day in Jaipur itinerary and you’ll be in for a dazzling time in the pink city of Jaipur!

A Little Bit About This Jaipur Itinerary

Where to stay in jaipur, jaipur itinerary day 1: the pink city, jaipur itinerary day 2: gem stones & monkeys, jaipur itinerary day 3: fortresses & block prints, best time to visit jaipur, how to get around jaipur, what to prepare before visiting jaipur, faq on jaipur itinerary.

From state-of-the-art museums to an utterly beguiling pink palace, Jaipur hosts a whole trove of treasures with which to dazzle visitors. Our day-by-day Jaipur itineraries will introduce you to all the city’s iconic wonders, as well as find spaces where you can just breathe and take it all in! If you are wondering how many days to spend in Jaipur, then I suggest that 3 is plenty.

There are various methods of getting around Jaipur. Uber and Ola, another app-based cab service, both operate in Jaipur and are the most hassle-free ways of getting around.

You can also take a rickshaw which is best for short distances. Try The Pink City Rickshaw Company which is run and owned by women from low-income households in Jaipur. It’s easy to spot these hot pink, eco-friendly, and custom-designed vehicles from a distance!

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.

where to stay in 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

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 Luxury Hotel in Jaipur – Taj Rambagh Palace

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!

Jaipur Itinerary Day 1 Map

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

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

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

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

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…

Jaipur Itinerary Day 2 Map

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

Albert Hall

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

Old Green Tandori

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

Bazaars

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

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

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

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

Jaipur Itinerary Day 3

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

Jaipur fort India

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

tourist places in jaipur highway

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

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

coffee cafe in amed

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 Jaipur

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

Active Roots Security Belt

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!

tourist places in jaipur highway

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.

Bani Park is the best place to base yourself. It’s a safe residential area close to top city attractions and easy transport connections.

What is the best month to visit Jaipur?

Any month from October-March are ideal for a trip to Jaipur, as the rest of the year sees temperatures soaring. Make sure to book accommodation early though as this is peak season!

Final Thoughts

Jaipur, nicknamed the Pink City, forms a key point on the Golden Triangle, the tourist circuit that connects New Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan. Jaipur's nickname is a nod to the pink buildings within its historic core, among them the iconic Hawa Mahal.

Jaipur is also continuously named one of the best cities in the world by Travel + Leisure readers . A city of sprawling palaces, it's also home to ornate architectural masterpieces and sweeping views of lush green hills and idyllic lakes. It is the first planned city in India and has earned UNESCO World Heritage status for setting an exceptional example of indigenous city planning. And its streets feel a little more manageable than the congested labyrinths of New Delhi and Mumbai, especially for first-time visitors to India.

This is a city that inspired Paul McCartney to write "Riding into Jaipur" and became the backdrop of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies. It is a place to enjoy the performing arts, to feast on sumptuous meals in the banquet halls of royalty, and to reminisce about a bygone era of Maharajas. Ride elephants and explore Mughal architecture by day and enjoy some of the world's finest hotels by night.

Jaipur is also a shopper's paradise, offering everything from fine jewelry and intricate handmade art pieces to a variety of textiles.

Visitors can fly directly into the city or take a train, bus, or private car from New Delhi. The fastest route is by high-speed train, which takes just under four hours.

Jaipur is in the Indian Standard Time Zone. Indian Standard Time is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Eastern Time, and India does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Jaipur is warm all year long, but the most comfortable time to visit the Pink City is between October and February. This is when the days are clear and breezy and when visitors can expect to find the most pleasant temperatures. Visit between March and July and you may find yourself exploring sprawling castles that pre-date air conditioning in stifling heat. During these months, temperatures in Jaipur can soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jaipur is the largest city in Rajasthan and the 10th most populated city in India. It is known as the Pink City, a nickname earned for a color elegantly woven throughout the city. Jaipur forms one point of the Golden Triangle, a tourist trail that connects New Delhi, the Taj Mahal, and Rajasthan. Jaipur is only 167 miles from New Delhi, but it is an entirely different world. Founded in 1727, Jaipur is the first planned city in India. Instead of a complicated labyrinth of roads, the city is built on a street grid that makes it easier to navigate than Delhi or Mumbai. Jaipur is a place to explore the palaces of pre-colonial India, dive deep into Indian history, and relax in world class hotels.

Abhaneri Step Well

One of the biggest step wells in the world, Chand Baori, also known as Stepwells of Abhaneri, is located in Rajasthan. The main purpose of creating step wells was to store rainwater in the desert regions and act as natural air conditioners during the oppressively hot summers. The enormous pavilion, complicated construction and excellent geometry, including windows, galleries, and balconies, is thirteen stories high.

The shimmering green water shows out in contrast to the stone stairways as one looks from the top of the board towards the bottom, making it a sight to behold. A photographer may get great angles and photo chances when the sun is high in the sky because of the stairs’ intricate maze-like patterning in the light and shadows. The Chand Baori is a photographer’s dream because of its amazing architecture and the intricate geometric design of the entire building.

The Abhaneri step has many tales and people attached to it because it is so old. It is stated that no one has ever been able to descend and ascend using the same set of steps.

The small village was constructed in 1989 across a 10-acre area with a specific goal: to draw tourists and introduce them to the genuine Rajasthani culture and traditions.

Gaitore ki Chhatriyaan

The Kachwaha, a Rajput dynasty who dominated the area, interred their dead at Gaitore Ki Chhatriyan, their royal cremation grounds. The complex is dotted with the cenotaphs of the royals, giving the impression of being made up of both elaborate towers and scaled-down open-air palaces. The structures designate the locations of prior leaders’ cremations.

The cenotaphs are made of white marble from Makrana, which is of the highest quality. Some ‘chhatris’ are adorned with sculptures of Apsara (nymphs), Gandharvas (musicians), or processions. Maharaja Jai Singh II’s cenotaph, with its 20 sculptured columns, is the most spectacular.

The picturesque location offers a breathtaking and expansive view of the entire city of Jaipur. You can see famous sites like the Jal Mahal and Mansarovar Lake from Gaitore ki Chhatriyaan.

Timings:  The place is open from 09.30 A.M. to 05.00 P.M.

Entry Fees:  INR 30 per person

14. Panna Meena ka Kund

Panna Meena ka Kund jaipur tourism places

Panna Meena ka Kund is another stepwell located in Jaipur. It is part of the Amber region of Jaipur. The only completely operable stepwell repaired in Jaipur is Panna Meena ka Kund. It goes back to a time when there was no piped water. The Kund has long aided the nearby villages in getting access to potable water.

According to several residents, Panna Meena ka Kund was constructed so that Amer’s inhabitants could gather water that they then utilised at numerous adjacent temples for rituals. Women also came here to fill water containers for consumption around the house. Aside from this, due to the much lower temperature within the stepwell, Panna Meena ka Kund served as a rest stop for several travellers, including business people and saints.

Timings:  The Kund is open 24×7, but it is advised to go before the evening starts setting in

Entry Fees:  The entry is free to Panna Meena ka Kund

16. Sargasuli Tower/Isarlaat

To commemorate the triumph of Maharaja Sawai Ishwari Singh, the magnificent victory tower known as Sargasuli Tower has stood upright amid the pink city of Jaipur since 1749. The rivalry between the two brothers – Ishwari Singh and Madho Singh- is also interesting. The marriage of Sawai Jai Singh II to the Mewari princess Sisodia may have had a clause mandating that Maharani Chandra Kanwar’s child become the King. However, Sawai Jai Singh I wanted Ishwari Singh to rule instead of him, something the Maharana of Mewar disapproved of. This disapproval led to a rivalry between the two brothers for the throne, leading to the Battle of Rajmahal. Sawai Ishwari Singh won and ordered the erection of this minaret in commemoration of his victory.

In contrast to the pink colour in the city’s buildings and market areas, the tower is a seven-storeyed octagonal structure constructed using a combination of Mughal and Rajput architectural traditions. Visitors may see the breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of Jaipur City from the top of this tower.

Timings:  It is open from 09.30 A.M. to 04.00 P.M.

Entry Fees:  INR 70 per person

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II built 5 such observatories all over India. Jaipur’s Jantar Mantar has 19 instruments that serve specific purposes in astronomy. The ‘Samrat Yantra’ is the most popular as it is India’s biggest sundial.

Timings:  Jantar Mantar is open on all days from 09.00 A.M. to 05.00 P.M.

Entry Fees:  INR 50 for Indians and INR 200 for foreigners

Thousands of devotees arrive here in this marble-constructed temple daily to offer prayers.

The domes of this temple are intended to symbolise the equality of all religions, which sets it apart from other temples.

Last modified on November 7, 2021

tourist places in jaipur highway

The following guide to the best tourist places in Jaipur is brought to you by Charlotte of Our Taste For Life .  Together, Charlotte and Natalie have travelled extensively around Rajasthan, making them experts in this incredible capital city. 

I f you’re heading to Jaipur, this guide to the best tourist spots is for you!

Jaipur is one of the most exciting and magical cities in all of India. Packed to bursting with architectural wonders, from opulent palaces to ancient forts, you’ll find enough tourist places in Jaipur to keep you occupied for days on end.

At the same time, you’ll experience the epitome of organised chaos, whereby humans, wildlife and vehicles fight for their space amidst the bustling metropolis.

Famed for being the pink city , as a result of its signature terracotta architecture, Jaipur is rich in both culture and history. Being the capital city of Rajasthan, many consider it to be an essential place to visit in India. Jaipur also forms part of the ever-popular Golden Triangle India Itinerary , so you are never short of tourists (and tourism activities) in the city.

Enjoyed by those seeking romance in India , just as it is by backpackers, this beautiful city offers something for everyone.

After spending some time backpacking in Jaipur last year, we can share what we consider to be the top 10 places to visit in Jaipur. From where to eat and where to stay, to ticking off all the top tourist places in Jaipur, this guide has everything you need to have a truly fantastic time.

The Best Tourist Places in Jaipur

Architectural wonders, historical landmarks, photography hotspots, and buzzing markets all make up the top tourist places in Jaipur.

Here are our 10 favourite things to do in the city.

Amber Palace

Opulent Amber Palace is one of the most impressive architectural structures to be found in Jaipur. The complex was once home to the cities Royal Family, and in true Rajasthani style, there were no holds barred in its extravagance. Constructed in red and yellow sandstone and white marble, the palace is one of many UNESCO Heritage Sites scattered around the city.

It is common to hear several names being thrown around when talking about the palace. Also referred to as the Amber Fort or Amer Palace , you can give any of these names to your driver and they will know where to take you.

Inside the palace complex, you will find a series of gardens, courtyards, and rooms, all equally beautiful as the structure itself.

Unfortunately, there is one disappointing factor about the Amber Palace, and that is that they promote elephant rides into the grounds. I’m sure most of you are aware of the horrors behind animal tourism , but if not, please educate yourself before taking part in such activities.

Nevertheless, Amber Palace is one of the top tourist places in Jaipur.  We just ask that you don’t support elephant riding on your visit.

Amer Fort Viewpoint

If you are seeking somewhat of a hidden gem in Jaipur, the Amer Fort Viewpoint was our favourite spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Located across the way from Amber Palace, the various watchtowers offer a breathtaking vista of the fortress and lake below. Often you’ll find flocks of pigeons swarming the grounds, only enhancing the view and adding to the magic.

To reach the viewpoint, you must first tackle some pretty challenging stairs. While it’s not a long hike, it’ll certainly set the heart rate soaring, particularly in the heat. Thankfully, not many people tend to visit this spot, so you’ll get to enjoy the view in peace. Such tranquillity can be hard to find in strenuous Jaipur, so we suggest making the most of it while you can.

The Amer Fort is genuinely one of the best places to visit in Jaipur.

Nahargarh Fort

To check out one of the best sunset spots in Jaipur, I suggest making a beeline for Nahargarh Fort one late afternoon of your trip.

It’s a bit of a trek to get there, especially in a tuk-tuk which often struggles for speed on the steep winding road to the fort’s entrance. However, the awe-inspiring view over the city of Jaipur is unrivalled, in my opinion.

Historically, the magnificent fortress built in the Aravali mountains helped form a defensive wall around the old city. The name ‘Nahargarh’ translates to ‘Tiger Fort’ in English, so I can only assume that tigers once roamed those same mountains. You can almost imagine the scene as you stand atop the ancient fort.

Take the urban jungle out of the equation and Jaipur is still a compelling desert city.

If you arrive at the fort before sunset, you can check out a wax museum and gallery located inside. Otherwise, the highlight is walking the perimeter of the fort and finding yourself a spot to watch one of the best sunsets in India.

I have to say, one of the only advantages of pollution in Jaipur is that it makes for a pretty epic sunset!

The Jaipur City Palace

Located in the heart of the Pink City, the City Palace is probably number one on the list of tourist places in Jaipur. It is the Jaipur attraction that every local, website and guidebook advises you to see.  However, it doesn’t necessarily mean it should be a priority on your list of things to do.

First, allow me to explain. A UNESCO listed building and residence to Jaipur’s royal family, there is no denying the beauty of the palace complex. On the other hand, we couldn’t help but feel it was a little bit of a tourist trap. After paying a hefty entrance fee relative to other attractions in India (USD10), we expected the price to be justified. However, we were disappointed to learn we could only access certain areas of the complex. If you want to access all areas, you can expect to pay around RS2000, equivalent to USD25.

What’s more, while exploring the grounds, we were constantly hassled to buy something – whether it be a postcard or an expensive piece of artwork. It felt exploitative, and we didn’t appreciate this side of it.

If you’re interested in the history of Jaipur or enjoy photography, perhaps you will have a better experience than we did. But if you’re on a budget, I suggest you save the entrance fee and put it towards other places to visit in Jaipur.

JAIPUR CITY PALACE

Patrika Gate

Jaipur is one of the most photographed cities in India.  While Insta-worthy opportunities await you at every turn, some spots are more well-known than others. With this in mind, I’m sure the iconic Patrika Gate needs little introduction.

The vibrant design of the monument is every photographer’s dream. While its beauty is enough to inject wanderlust into all who see it.

As well as being aesthetically pleasing, the gate serves as an entrance to Jawahar Circle Garden.

Set 10km outside of the city centre, the gardens serve as a peaceful retreat from the urban jungle. On the other hand, don’t expect to be alone at the gate unless you arrive super early.

Nonetheless, sightseeing in Jaipur isn’t complete without having your photo taken at Patrika Gate – it is a real high light of all of the places to visit in Jaipur.

PATRIKA GATE JAIPUR

Galta Ji Temple

Galta Ji, otherwise known as the Monkey Temple, was one of our favourite places to visit in Jaipur .

We visited a lot of temples during our time in India; however, Galta Ji was one of the most unusual.

Set amidst the mountains of Jaipur, the monkey temple earned its nickname as a result of the thousands of Rhesus Macaques that occupy the grounds. You’ll often find tourists feeding the monkeys, so to carry food is at your peril. The monkeys may look cute, but we’ve seen them snatch food out of peoples hands. You’ve been warned!

Sometimes you may hear Galta Ji referred to as the Hanuman Temple – after the Hindu monkey god.

Devotees consider the temple to be a sacred pilgrimage. If you visit throughout the day, you can expect to find locals bathing in the seven holy baths. Remember, this is a precious & personal moment for them. One we are privileged to witness. So please act respectfully at all times.

Taking photos of locals bathing is not appreciated, and I would avoid doing so unless you are given permission.

One of the most recognisable buildings in all of India, the Hawa Mahal is considered the crown jewel of Jaipur. Built in the late 1800s as an extension to the city palace, it was used by female members of the royal family to observe the city without being seen.

The unmistakable design of the complex includes 953 small windows, carved with intricate latticework and resembling the structure of honeycomb. It is a remarkable architectural gem and undoubtedly one of the best places to visit in Jaipur.

While it is an option to pay an entrance fee and explore inside Hawa Mahal, many opt to marvel the masterpiece from afar. There are a couple of rooftop cafes set adjacent to the building, and many photographers head there to snap some clean shots.

It’s also worthwhile heading back one evening, to see the palace from a different perspective.

Jaipur Stepwell

Another example of unique architecture in India is the various stepwells located around the country.

Historically, the stepwells were constructed to collect water for in times of drought. Today, they are a significant tourist attraction and Instagram hotspot.

You don’t need to take too long to marvel the structure; however, the stimulating design of the Stepwell made this one of our favourite places to visit in Jaipur.

Located nearby Amer Fort and Amber Palace, you can conveniently combine the three attractions over a morning or afternoon.

As a heads up, if you want to take photos on the Stepwell, you should be prepared to bribe the security guards.

Brave the Bazaars

Jaipur is said to be one of the best places in India for street shopping , and you can find various markets scattered around the city.

Visiting a traditional market, or bazaar as the locals call them, is an incredible way to immerse in the culture. The smells, colours, and energy floating around feel like a brutal attack on the senses – in the best possible way.

If you are looking to bag yourself some typical Jaipur souvenirs, vibrant saris, gemstones, rugs, and puppets are all the rage.

If you like to shop, it’s easy to get carried away in Jaipur. Everything is so beautiful and skilfully made. You can find some of the best markets in Jaipur located around the Hawa Mahal area.

Don’t be afraid to haggle – locals are opportunists when it comes to tourists. At the same time, be sure to haggle sensibly and pay what you think is fair for the item.

Go on a Walking Adventure

Sightseeing in Jaipur is done best when exploring on foot. Not only will you cover the best places to visit in Jaipur, but you’ll get to really appreciate the culture.

Jaipur is a city oozing charisma, and you’re in the company of some extraordinary characters. Akin to other places in India, 99% of the locals are eager to share their story. And I promise you won’t regret taking the time to chat to the guy serving you chai or samosas.

My only advice is to be respectful when it comes to taking photos. It’s natural to want to take pictures of the locals and their bizarre ways of living; however, try to communicate with them first and check that it’s ok.

More often than not, you’ll take away a lot more from the interaction than just a photo.

The Best Places to Eat in Jaipur

With so many wondrous tourist places to cover in Jaipur, you can expect your days to be long and exhausting. The key is to fuel your adventures by eating well and keeping hydrated. Here we list some of our favourite places to eat in Jaipur.

Best For Lunch: Tapri the Teahouse $$

This rooftop establishment turned out to be one of our favourite places to eat in Jaipur. The extensive menu includes everything from Indian to Italian, veggie to non-veggie, alcohol to tea – you get the idea. Not only that, but the vibe and service were excellent. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Best For Sunset: The Tattoo Cafe & Lounge $

Located directly across the road from Hawa Mahal building, this cafe is the perfect spot to take a break from sightseeing in Jaipur. While it’s worth visiting at any time of day, we loved coming here for sunset and watching as the Hawa Mahal transformed into illumination. Oh, and the food and drinks are pretty good too!

Best For Dinner: 25 Degrees East $$

We enjoyed some of the best food of our one month trip in India here, and we highly suggest treating yourself during your time in Jaipur. It is a little on the expensive side, but not exploitatively so. There is a certain air of opulence in the city of Jaipur, and it’s worth splurging a little bit to make the most of your experience.

Best For Street Food: Anywhere $

Delectable street food can be found all over Jaipur, and it is by far the cheapest way to try the local cuisine. Concerns about getting sick are justified; however, trying street food is a big part of the India experience. There are steps you can take to avoid the dreaded Delhi belly, including buying from vendors who appear busy.

Getting Around in Jaipur

Getting around the tourist places in Jaipur couldn’t be any easier. Whether you are on a budget or want comfort, there are plenty of transportation options for you to choose from.

I mentioned this already, but the best way of sightseeing in Jaipur is by foot. Drink some chai, eat some street food, make some friends and immerse yourself in the exhilarating culture of Jaipur.

Public buses are easy to come by in Jaipur, and naturally, this is the cheapest way to get around. You can check the city of Jaipur website for more information on bus routes in Jaipur .

Taxis/Tuk-Tuks

Of course, there is no shortage of local taxis and tuk-tuks in the city. You will find them in abundance outside any major tourist place in Jaipur, and they are easily flagged down on the street. Depending on your bargaining skills, this can be an expensive way to get around for solo travellers and couples.

For us, this was the most comfortable and convenient way to get around Jaipur. Similar to Uber, you can order a taxi directly through the Ola Cab app. You can even book a driver for the whole day if you wanted to. In our experience, it was far cheaper to travel by Ola taxi than a local taxi or tuk-tuk.

Any way you choose to travel, there is never a dull moment when sightseeing in Jaipur.

Where to Stay in Jaipur

Here are some of the best places to stay in Jaipur in the budget, mid-range, and luxury sectors.

Budget Hostel

Hostel Lumb’s Nest – If you seek a home away from home when you travel, you are sure to love this charming family run hostel.  The dorms and private rooms are affordable, clean, and comfortable. The only downside is that the location isn’t convenient if you have only a short time in the city.  However, for longer stays, it’s nice to escape the loud and busy city.

Budget Private

Blue King – If you are on a budget and wish to be a bit closer to the city attractions, Blue King is a well-rated option in Jaipur. For under $10, you can enjoy the modest yet comfortable rooms, friendly atmosphere, and convenient location. 

Umaid Mahal – For a touch of luxury, without the hefty price tag, Umaid Mahal is a top pick in Jaipur. Boasting traditional heritage decor, an outdoor pool, and luxurious rooms, you are guaranteed a memorable stay here.

Affordable Luxe

Pearl Palace Heritage – Recommended by Sarah personally, the service and styling in this hotel is beyond anything you’d ever hope for.  Check out her review now!

Umaid Bhawan – If you don’t mind spending a bit more on accommodation, Umaid Bhawan is a luxury choice in the city. The heritage style hotel boasts a swimming pool, rooftop restaurant and 5* facilities.

Tips for Sightseeing in Jaipur

Here are some useful tips that I hope will enhance your travel experience in Jaipur.

Tourist Composite Tickets

If you plan on visiting several tourist places in Jaipur, you should consider purchasing a tourist composite ticket. This allows you access to 10 attractions in Jaipur, including Hawa Mahal, Amber Palace, and Nahargarh Fort, at a discounted rate than if you bought tickets separately. Tickets can be purchased online ahead of time.

You will find when travelling anywhere in India, that tripods are forbidden at most tourist attractions . If you get seen using one, you can expect to be reprimanded by guards. However, if you are careful (and brave), you can often get away with snapping shots before they catch you.

Jaipur is a very traditional and conservative city, so you will want to ensure you dress appropriately.

For women, you should have your shoulders and legs below the knee covered at all times. For men, it is a little more laid back; however, I suggest avoiding revealing vests or tank tops.

Akin to other cities in India, scams towards tourists are not uncommon. It pays to make yourself aware of the common scams in India , so consequently, you can avoid them.

There are also known to be skilled pickpockets operating in Jaipur so be sure to keep your valuables secured at all time. We use either a small padlock or compartmental bag to keep our valuables safe.

Guided Tours of Jaipur

While we prefer to explore places independently, it can be a rewarding experience to adventure Jaipur with a guide. You can read the reviews of several tour companies online, to be sure you are getting the best deal and experience.

We often find we learn a lot more about a place when exploring with a tour guide, as naturally, they know the city like the back of their hand.
