Why Go to Jaipur?
Rajput pride meets Mughal magnificence in Jaipur. The vibrancy, the pink-hued streets, the thumping tuk-tuks, the aroma of spicy kachoris, and the warmth of Rajasthani hospitality are more important than the monuments.

Additionally, it is quite accessible to tourists as it is a part of India's well-known Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur).

The Ideal Time to Take a Day Tour of Jaipur
October through March are the best months to visit Jaipur because of the lovely weather and fun sightseeing. If you don't like walking in 40°C heat, stay away from April through June.

The Ideal Jaipur One-Day Itinerary
This tried-and-true plan will help you see the most of Jaipur in a single day:

Start at Amber Fort (Amer Fort) at 8:00 AM.
Amber Fort, which is only 11 kilometres from the city centre, is a great place to start the day. The stunning fusion of Mughal and Hindu architecture may be found at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An iconic but optional way to go to the entryway is to ride an elephant.

Explore the interior of Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace).

The expansive views from the fort walls are not to be missed.

???? 10:00 AM: Make a stop at the Water Palace, Jal Mahal
Stop visit Jal Mahal, a picturesque palace that floats in the midst of Man Sagar Lake, on your way back to the city. The vista from the shore is ideal for Instagram-worthy pictures, but you are not allowed inside.

???? Discover Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) at 11:00 AM
With 953 tiny windows, this famous pink sandstone edifice resembles a honeycomb. It was constructed so that royal ladies could surreptitiously monitor the street.

To get a view of the old city, climb up. Although it is little, it is historical and photogenic.

???? Visit City Palace at 12:00 PM
The City Palace, which is still partially the royal house, is located in the centre of the old city. It is a sophisticated blend of Mughal and Rajasthani design.

Highlights consist of:

Mahal Chandra

Mahal, Mubarak

A royal museum containing artefacts, clothing, and weapons

Pro Tip: The Blue Room (Sukh Niwas) is a must-see; it's breathtaking.

???? Lunchtime (Taste Local Rajasthani Food) at 1:00 PM
You're most likely starving by now. Go to:

For traditional Rajasthani thali, use Laxmi Misthan Bhandar, or LMB.

For dal baati churma and kachoris, Rawat Mishthan Bhandar

For a more upmarket option, consider Spice Court.

Remember to end with some sweet mawa kachori or ghewar.

???? Visit Jantar Mantar at 2:30 PM
This astronomical observatory from the 18th century is very interesting. It was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and contains the largest stone sundial in the world along with other astronomical devices that are still in use today.

3:30 PM: Shop at neighbourhood bazaars
A trip to Jaipur wouldn't be complete without taking a bazaar walk. Walk through:

Johari Bazaar: Gemstones and jewellery

Bapu Bazaar: Rajasthani clothing, bags, and mojaris

Tripolia Bazaar: textiles and lac bangles

Learn how to haggle and purchase mementos such as blue pottery or handcrafted block-printed textiles.

???? Tea and Sunset at Nahargarh Fort at 5:00 PM
Enjoy a stunning sunset across the whole Pink City from Nahargarh Fort as you wrap off your day. Right on the border of the fort is the Padao Restaurant, where you may have a bite or a cup of chai.

The atmosphere? Completely enchanted.
