Highlights
Itinerary
Delhi Departure
Depart from your Delhi hotel in a comfortable private AC car, heading towards the Pink City of Jaipur via NH48 (Delhi-Jaipur Expressway). Enjoy the scenic 4.5-hour drive through the Rajasthani countryside, passing colorful villages, ancient ruins, and the semi-arid landscapes that define this royal state.
Amber Fort Exploration
Arrive at the magnificent Amber Fort (Amer Fort), a stunning hilltop fortress that blends Rajput and Mughal architectural styles in breathtaking fashion. Explore the sprawling complex including the Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) with its thousands of tiny mirrors covering the walls and ceiling that reflect candlelight like stars, the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience), the Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), and the Sukh Niwas with its ingenious natural air-conditioning system. Enjoy panoramic views of Maota Lake and the surrounding Aravalli hills from the fort's ramparts.
Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds)
Stop for a photo at the iconic Hawa Mahal, Jaipur's most recognizable landmark. This extraordinary five-story palace features 953 intricately carved sandstone windows (jharokhas) designed in a honeycomb lattice pattern, originally built in 1799 so that royal women of the court could observe street festivals and daily life below without being seen from the outside.
City Palace
Explore the magnificent City Palace, a stunning blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture that remains partially the residence of the Jaipur royal family to this day. Wander through its sprawling courtyards, ornate gateways, the Mubarak Mahal (Welcome Palace) with its textile museum, and the Chandra Mahal. Admire the world's largest sterling silver vessels in the Diwan-i-Khas, each standing over 5 feet tall.
Jantar Mantar Observatory
Visit the remarkable Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's largest stone astronomical observatory. Built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1734, this collection of 19 architectural astronomical instruments includes the world's largest stone sundial (Samrat Yantra) standing 27 meters tall, capable of telling time accurate to two seconds.
Lunch with Rajasthani Cuisine
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a recommended restaurant featuring authentic Rajasthani cuisine. Savor traditional dishes like dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, and laal maas — flavors that have been perfected over centuries in the royal kitchens of Rajasthan.
Explore Local Bazaars
Browse Jaipur's famous colorful local bazaars, a shopper's paradise renowned for traditional Rajasthani handicrafts, block-printed textiles, precious and semi-precious gemstone jewelry, blue pottery, lac bangles, mojari leather shoes, and miniature paintings. Your guide helps you navigate the vibrant markets and find the best authentic souvenirs.
