Jaipur mini circuit itinerary

Day 1 – in the morning

The morning is organized around the visit to the Palace of the City, the official residence of the Maharajah of Jaipur. The visit to this monument located in the city center lasts about two hours during which you will explore the magnificent rooms of the palace, the museum and the exhibition of art objects. You will see the Peacock Gate, the massive silverware of Diwan-I-Khas and the Weapon Hall, which houses a magnificent and terrifying collection of weapons that traces the history of the Jaipur region.

Day 1 – the afternoon

In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to explore the Pink City, the historical center of Jaipur and the surroundings of the Palace of the City. You will be submerged in a whirlwind of images, sounds, and smells, as Jaipur is a lively and chaotic city; you will be stopped by street vendors, suffocated by pollution and annoyed by the heat, but it is worth it because the monuments are magnificent. If it becomes too tiring, head to Jantar Mantar to enjoy the peace and silence. In the late afternoon take the time to admire the beautiful sunset.

Key moments in the afternoon include:
• A visit to the magnificent Hawa Mahal, the Palace of the Winds, the residence of Maharajah women who watched the city cloistered behind the palace windows
• A visit to the magnificent Jantar Mantar observatory the instruments served to predict the future.

Visit the doors and walls of the Rose City • Visit the city’s lively markets and shops
• Visit the Temple of the Sun, which is the perfect opportunity to admire a beautiful sunset

Day 2- morning

In the morning you will visit the fortress of Amber, which is 7km north of Jaipur. This magnificent monument is one of the most representatives of Jaipur, thanks to its massive defenses and delicate artistic details; the fortress is at the top of a hill and visitors are transported by elephants to the main courtyard.

The road to the fortress passes next to the Jal Mahal, one of the most photographed monuments in the world. Seen from the road, the Palace seems to float in the center of Lake Mansagar; this magnificent monument was once the hunting residence of the Maharajah.

Day 2- afternoon

In the afternoon you will visit the Galta Ji Temple and the Nahargarh Fortress. The Galta Ji Temple is known as the Monkey Temple; it is a structure built around a natural source and is home to a hundred monkeys. Nahargarh Fortress was built to protect the city of Jaipur; it’s a great place to watch the sunset.
