Also known as the Pink City, Jaipur is one of the most popular tourist spots in India.  Located 281 km from Delhi, Jaipur is a city of Palaces, Forts and Monuments.  This Beautiful Royal city is a symbol of Indian Culture and Heritage.

Jaipur is a small city, and easy to navigate. Though Public Transport is not well established, but Cycle Rickshaws and Cabs are convenient. The Tourist Attractions are far from each other. Thus, you would require transportation for the same. We would suggest you to sign up for a group day tour which covers all the attractions. Main Tourist Attractions include Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Amber Fort,  Sariska Tiger Reserve, Galta ji Temple, Birla Temple, Haunted Town of Bhan garh and Jaigarh Fort.  The city is a must visit for History Lovers. These attractions will make an Architectural impact on you. You should have at least 2-3 days to fully explore the city.

Jaipur is famous for its Food. The Rajasthani Food is very delicious, and loved by all. When in Jaipur, do experience the traditional Rajasthan cuisine. The city is flooded with Restaurants and Food stalls. Besides that, you will find the usual Indian Restaurants and Cafes. International Restaurants are hard to find. Mostly, you will have Indian Restaurants. So, be ready for a total Indian treat.

Shopping in Jaipur is fine. You will not find many big brands out here. Mostly there are local businesses around the city. Some places are good for shopping, but not very famous. Jewellery and Local Handicrafts are very popular. You may consider some. Jaipur is a mid-sized city, having limited options. It’s just another city where shopping shouldn’t be given much importance. Purchase those items which are exclusive here.

Jaigarh Fort


Getting to Jaipur is easy. It has a Domestic Airport, with flights to all over India. International travellers need to connect via any other Indian International Airport. If you are visiting nearby cities like Delhi, Agra, Chandigarh etc. you may consider Rail/Road. It’s better to visit Jaipur with some other nearby cities in your itinerary.  You can also add Jodhpur to your trip. It’s a beautiful Rajasthani Town 337 Km away from Jaipur.
So, go ahead and enjoy a Royal Trip to Jaipur.
