Jaipur Tour Packages
Jaipur was built to a plan. In 1727 Sawai Jai Singh II laid the city out on a grid with nine rectangular blocks, wide straight avenues and a walled old town, which made it the first planned city in India and still makes it the easiest Indian city to find your way around.
What that plan holds is the part people come for. A hilltop fort with a palace of mirrors inside it. A five-story facade with 953 windows built so royal women could watch the street without being seen. An eighteenth-century observatory where a stone sundial still keeps time to within two seconds. And bazaars selling gemstones, block prints and lac bangles in the same lanes they have been sold in for three hundred years.
Our Jaipur tours are private and run at your pace, with a licensed local guide who can tell you which gate to use at Amber Fort and which bazaar stall actually cuts its own stones.

FAQ's
Q1. How many days do I need in Jaipur?
Two full days covers the city properly. One day is enough for the headline sights if you start early, but it means choosing between Amber Fort and the old city rather than doing both at a comfortable pace. Three days lets you add Nahargarh at sunset, a cooking class or a day trip to Pushkar.
Q2. What are the must-see places in Jaipur?
Amber Fort, Hawa Mahal, the City Palace and Jantar Mantar are the four that belong on every itinerary. After that it depends on your interests: Nahargarh Fort for views, Jal Mahal for photographs, Johari Bazaar for jewelry and Chokhi Dhani for an evening of Rajasthani food and folk performance.
Q3. Can I visit Jaipur in one day from Delhi?
Yes. Jaipur is about 174 miles (280 km) from Delhi, roughly five hours each way by car. A one day trip works if
you leave by 5 AM and accept that you will see three or four sights rather than everything. The train is an
easier option for a single day because you arrive rested.
Q4. Are Jaipur monuments closed on any particular day?
No, and that is a real advantage over Delhi and Agra. Amber Fort, the City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal are open every day of the week. If your schedule leaves you with a Monday or a Friday free, Jaipur is the city to spend it in.
Q5. What is included in a Jaipur tour package?
A private air-conditioned car with driver, a licensed English-speaking guide in Jaipur, monument entry tickets where the itinerary lists them, all tolls, parking and driver allowances, bottled water, and pickup and drop at your hotel, airport or railway station. Meals, camera permits and tips are not included unless confirmed in writing.
Q6. Is the Jaipur tour private or shared with other travelers?
Private, every time. Your own car, driver and guide, with no strangers and no fixed departure slots. You decide the order of the sights and how long to spend at each one.
Q7. What is the best time to visit Jaipur?
October through March. November to February is the most comfortable, with daytime highs around 72°F to 79°F (22°C to 26°C) and cool mornings. April through June is severe, regularly above 104°F (40°C). July to September brings the monsoon, which greens the hills around Amber and thins the crowds.
Q8. Why is Jaipur called the Pink City?
In 1876 the city was painted terracotta pink to welcome the Prince of Wales, and the color stuck. A local ordinance still requires buildings in the old walled city to keep that shade, which is why the bazaars around Hawa Mahal look the way they do.
Q9. Should I ride an elephant at Amber Fort?
We recommend against it. The elephant rides up to the Sun Gate are a long-standing tourist attraction, but animal welfare groups have raised sustained concerns about the working conditions. A jeep covers the same climb, and you can still see and photograph the elephants without riding one.
Q10. Where should I shop in Jaipur?
Johari Bazaar for gemstones and traditional jewelry, Bapu Bazaar for textiles, block prints and mojari slippers, and Tripolia Bazaar for lac bangles. Prices are negotiable almost everywhere. Your guide can point you to workshops where you can watch block printing and gem cutting rather than just buying the finished piece.
Q11. Can I combine Jaipur with Delhi and Agra?
Yes, that is the Golden Triangle circuit. Agra to Jaipur is about 149 miles (240 km) via Fatehpur Sikri, and Jaipur back to Delhi is about 174 miles (280 km). Most travelers give the full circuit 4 to 5 days.
