The Experience

Before You Go

Carry original passport

Passport copies and passport details are required at booking and original ID may be needed for transfers—keep it accessible.

Hydrate for a long day

Bring a refillable water bottle and hydrate between sites—the day is long and Jaipur’s climate is often dry.

Dress smart-casual and comfortably

Light layers and modest clothing work best for palace interiors and temple-adjacent sites; closed-toe shoes for uneven steps.

Allow buffer time for traffic

Transfers are by private vehicle but can be delayed by city traffic or seasonal conditions—plan for flexible timing.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Side streets near Johari Bazaar for traditional silver and gemstone workshops
  • Walk to the observatory grounds at Jantar Mantar late afternoon for quieter viewing and good light for photos

Wildlife

  • Peafowl occasionally wander palace grounds
  • Squirrels and small garden birds in City Palace courtyards

Conservation Note

Many heritage sites are managed through entry fees and conservation programs; visitors should avoid touching frescoes or mirrorwork and follow local signage to protect fragile surfaces.

Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II; the city’s planned grid and pink-painted facades reflect its historic urban design and 19th-century rebranding.
