Jaipur Tour Package

The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is a city that is renowned for its rich history and architecture. An amazing journey into the heart of India's regal history, where majestic palaces and forts assert their majesty, is what you will experience when you book a Jaipur tour package. As you embark on your tour to Jaipur, you should do so with the expectation of being enveloped by the city's traditional warmth combined with its contemporary magnificence.

It was established in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and it is commonly referred to as a "Pink City" because of the distinctive pink terracotta architecture that the city has. This architectural marvel, which was, in fact, one of the earliest planned towns in India, was created in accordance with the principles of Vastu Shastra. At the present time, Jaipur is a busy metropolis that has successfully combined all of its historical splendour with more recent improvements. Rajasthan tourism plays an important role in increasing tourists at Jaipur heritage sites.

Best places to visit in Jaipur

Amber Fort

The magnificent hilltop fortress constructed by Raja Man Singh around 1592 is a stunning amalgamation of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Each level of this fort consists of one courtyard which contains Diwan-e-Aam, Diwan-e-Khas, Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) and Sukh Niwas. The most popular is Sheesh Mahal, which is renowned for extremely delicate mirror work; even one lighted candle can illuminate all surfaces within it. Overlooking Maota Lake, this fort creates an idyllic picture.

Hawa Mahal

The five-storied building called Hawa Mahal or Palace of Winds was built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh. It features an unusual honeycomb facade done up with nine hundred fifty-three little windows or jharokhas where royal women could watch the street processions in their seclusion, adhering to the purdah system. The building also has windows that create a cool breeze throughout the palace, making it ideal for summer respite. The design of the palace combines features of Hindu Rajput and Islamic Mughal architecture.

City Palace

Situated at Jaipur’s centre, the City Palace complex was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II during the 18th century. Among various buildings within the complex, Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal stand out especially. The seven-storeyed Chandra Mahal is an artistic wonder decorated with mirror work and floral motifs, while European, Mughal and Rajput architectural styles are blended together in Mubarak Mahal. In addition to this, there are museums displaying royal objects.

Jantar Mantar

This UNESCO World Heritage site was built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a tribute to knowledge of astrology. It consists of nineteen architectonic astronomical instruments like Samrat Yantra – the world’s largest stone sundial capable of measuring time with precision of up to two seconds. Initially devised for naked eye observation of heavenly bodies, these instruments represent the Ptolemaic positional astronomy tradition.

Jal Mahal

The Jal Mahal or Water Palace, built in the 18th century, appears as though it is floating on Man Sagar Lake which is serene. This palace is made from red sandstone, highlighting Rajput style architecture, while its reflection on the lake surface provides stunning visual trickery. Originally, it served as a lodge for hunting expeditions organised by kings where ducks were hunted down.

Nahargarh Fort

Located atop the Aravalli Hills, Nahargarh Fort offers stunning views of Jaipur from every angle. This retreat was constructed in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II for his family. Inside is the Madhavendra Palace with frescoes and interconnecting rooms designed for the king and his queens. It is a common area for viewing sunsets and getting away from the buzz of the city.

The Best time to visit Jaipur

Winter months (October-March): This is the best time to visit as they boast excellent weather conditions ranging between 8°C and 32°C which makes them ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. See below for details:

Summer (April – June): Temperatures during this season can climb up to 45°C making it difficult for outdoor explorations but convenient for budget travellers who get better hotel deals between these periods.

Monsoon (July - September): A rainy season when moderate rainfall provides relief after hot summer days. Though several activities outside may not be feasible due to some reasons, but again green landscapes offer fantastic views.

Jaipur tour packages are a good way to explore the main highlights of the City. Many tour and travels in Jaipur have options that can be customised according to customer preference and budget.

Planning Your Jaipur Tour

Dress up appropriately: It can get pretty hot in Jaipur, so pack light clothes made from breathable materials. Also, remember to cover up when visiting religious sites.

Try Local Transportation: Even if you have private transfers included in your package, it may be worth riding on a cycle rickshaw or auto rickshaw just for fun.

Respect Local Customs: Jaipur is a conservative city. Hence, be mindful of local traditions and customs, particularly when visiting temples or homes.

Booking in advance: Places like Amber Fort are crowded. It may, therefore, be prudent to make an early booking for entry permits or guided tours.
