Of-course, there are side-attractions as
well, but first priority is the main-attractions then if time permits, we can cover
some of the
side attractions as well.
For information about side-attractions, you can check the FAQs
given after the end of the itinerary.
Preferred Arrival Timing: 08:00 AM (early morning would be much better)
Preferred Departure Timing: After 05:30 PM (late night after 08:00 PM would be appreciated)
Our Chauffeur will pick you up from your preferred arrival location in Jaipur
(airport/
railway or any other location in jaipur) then,
we'll start the full day sightseeing of this beautiful Pink
City.
Before that, if you want to have a meal first then, the assigned chauffeur will
guide you to good places to eat.
Usually, the sightseeing of Jaipur starts from Hawah Mahal, also known as
"The Wind Palace" or "the palace of breeze", enjoy this world famous 05- storey
palace from
inside/ outside, and then move ahead to visit the Amer Fort.
Amer Fort (or, Amber fort)- one of the prime attractions of Jaipur.
Visiting this hilltop fort starts by climbing up to the fort and sometimes, tourists
do
it by an
elephant ride (if you want to). Inside the fort too there are numerous
visting points such as Sheesh Mahal and Shila Mata Mandir.
After visiting the fort, head towards Jal Mahal for a photography session,
enjoy the beautiful background and take some beautiful
photographs to remember as a pink city tour collection.
For lunch, you can ask your assigned chauffeur to drive you
to your choosen place or he can suggest you some good
places to eat based on his experience.
Browse our Gallery Page for more references/ photos of tours and attractions.
After having gained some energy, we'll move towards the city center area of
sightseeing i.e City Palace and Jantar Mantar.
First visit City Palace, the residence of the royal family of Jaipur while most of
its constituent parts are accessible by the tourists.
This palace (complex) houses a museum (City Palace Museum), various
buildings/sub-palaces, gardens, and courtyards.
Nearby to City Palace is another prime attraction of Jaipur- Jantar
Mantar- an astronomical observatory,
UNESCO world heritage site, housing 19 astronomical instruments which were built by
then ruler of Jaipur Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II.
It would be around evening (or, late afternoon) after covering the above 04 royal
attractions of Jaipur.
Move ahead to visit the enchanting Albert Hall Museum- a govt. central
museum, also the state museum,
has a varied collection of stones, sculptures/ small statues, paitings, jewelry,
etc.
It's prime attraction is an
egyptian mummy.
Last but not the least, usually visited in morning/ evening, Birla Mandir- a
white marble made temple of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu, visited both by locals
and tourists.
This temple is also known as "Lakshmi Narayan Mandir" and is one among many "Birla
Mandirs" made by "B.M Birla Ji".
This sums up the general tour itinerary of Jaipur as "full day sightseeing" after covering its prominent attractions.
Well, the simple answer is, the earliest possible arrival time after
08:00 AM because the general timing of all the
monuments
is 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM so even if you arrive early
then we can cover some other side attractions like temples (Govind dev
Ji|Moti Doongri|Birla Mandir).
Anyways, you can always contact Namaste Holiday regarding any
travel-related queries, and we'll respond you in a right manner.
Generally, all the attractions open at 09:00 AM and closes at 05:00 PM with some having early opening timing and some having extended closing time but the general time is this. Attractions like Amer fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Albert Hall Museum, Jaigarh Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Hawah Mahal, Birla Mandir, and many more fall under 09:00 AM- 05:00 PM time category.
Our first priority is always Prominent attractions (main-attractions) of
Jaipur so after covering the above mentioned
tourist attractions of Jaipur and you have enough time left for your
departure flight/ train then you can visit some
side-attractions also in your full day sightseeing of
Jaipur plan.
Some of the well-known side attractions of Jaipur are-
Patrika Gate, Jaigarh Fort,
Govind Dev Ji Temple, Akshardham
Temple, Sisodiya Rani Ka Bagh,
Nahargarh Fort,
Royal Gaitor, and Chokhi Dhani Resort.
Depending upon the timings of these attractions, time in visiting
these attractions, and your departure timing, you can
cover the side attractions if this sightseeing comes under the agreed
rate for a full day sightseeing tour of Jaipur.
Jaipur comes under the state of Rajasthan, infact, it's the capital of Rajasthan, and Rajasthan is visited mostly during October of current year to March of another year. In other words,winter is considered as the best time to visit Jaipur or every other part of Rajasthan.
There are numerous getaways/ excursions/ nearby places like Pushkar Brahma Temple Sightseeing, Ranthambore Jungle Safari, An excursion to Bisalpur Dam {Hotel Rajmahal Palace}, Kishangarh Marble Dumping Yard (Rajasthan Ka Moonland), Sambhar Lake, Galta Ji, Abhaneri Step Well, and many more short-trips like of Khatushyam Ji Temple, Jeen Mata Ji, Salasar Ji , etc.
Well, to answer in One go, you should consider the fact that Jaipur and Udaipur are the only two cities from India to be listed in world's top 10 heritage sites. Plus, a lot more to tell when it comes to visiting Jaipur like the no. of forts, popularity (since the colonial time), the uniqueness (Jaigarh Fort's Cannon, Jantar Mantar- the best one, Hawah Mahal- popularity), and much more to append when it comes to answering "why should one visit Jaipur?".
The sightseeing given in this page can be covered easily in one day and in
order to cover the side attractions too, you
need to have a 02 Days/ 01 Night tour plan.
That is, as I said in the first paragraph of this page that our first
priority
is "main-attractions" and then if time left, we can cover
some of the side-attractions on the same day (if possible) otherwise
we will need to have one more day to cover all the side-attractions as
well.
There are attractions near Hawah Mahal (Palace of Winds) like City Palace Jaipur and Jantar Mantar. Some of the famous restaurants from where you can get the Hawah Mahal as background are Wind View Cafe, The Tattoo Cafe & Lounge and during sunset, you can get a beautiful sunset view.
