When you reach Jaipur, our team will meet you, handle your bags, and take you to your hotel. Welcome to the “Pink City,” known for its warm hospitality and adorned with ancient forts, temples, and palaces. Once at the hotel, you can relax after your long trip.

In the evening, there’s an optional visit to Chokhi Dhani, a unique village resort. This visit, which includes entry and dinner costs, lets you experience the local culture, art, traditions, and authentic cuisine all in one place. Enjoy a cultural feast at Chokhi Dhani before we return to your Jaipur hotel for the night.

Start your day with a hearty breakfast at the hotel before setting off to explore the vibrant city of Jaipur. Our adventure begins at Amer Fort, located about 11 km from the city centre. This historic fort boasts four distinct levels, each offering its own unique attractions. For an unforgettable experience, opt for an elephant ride to see the fort’s majestic sights. Admire the serene Maota Lake and the Kesar Kyari Garden, a scenic spot from the 1600s designed for royal enjoyment.

Next, we visit the sacred Shila Devi Temple, home to a revered Durga idol brought by Raja Man Singh I after his victory over King Kedar. The Sheesh Mahal, or Mirror Palace, awaits with its stunning marble artwork and the mysterious ‘magic flower’ carving, revealing seven unique images.

We’ll explore the Panna Meena Bawri, an ancient stepwell once reserved for queens, and Man Sagar Lake, an impressive man-made lake created in the 17th century. Time permitting, we’ll also visit the City Palace, a living piece of history with its pink façade, and the iconic Hawa Mahal, where royal women observed street life unseen.
