Days 2, 3 and 4: Jaipur

Today, you'll be transferred to Jaipur, and you can watch exotic India speed past your window on the way. In Jaipur, you’ll stay in a cosy family-run hotel. The rooms here are tastefully furnished in traditional Indian-style and several have four-poster beds. Breakfast is served in the small restaurant or open air in a peaceful courtyard area. The family will always make their guests welcome. You’ll spend two nights in this tranquil location.

On Day 3 of your Delhi Jaipur tour, you’ll take a guided tour of this remarkable city, visiting the City Palace, the Observatory and the fairy-tale Palace of the Winds (Hawa Mahal). In the afternoon, you’ll visit the imposing Amber Fort that lies just outside the city limits. From the battlements of the Amber Fort, you’ll have a wonderful view of the rocky hills and the smaller walls and forts constructed by the Rajputs and the Mughals in the area. The centre of Jaipur is a lively jumble of colours, camel carts, elephants, beggars, rickshaws, temples, forts and palaces and very colourful and photogenic.

The City Palace and the Palace of the Winds both stand in the ancient quarter of the city. The City Palace has several beautiful museums with fascinating collections. If you see the flag flying, it means that the Maharaja is in residence. The Palace of the Winds is a world-famous, pyramid-shaped building with dozens of windows. This is where the women of the royal harem could watch the processions in the street below, unseen by the masses.

At the end of your Delhi Jaipur tour, you’ll be ready for new adventures. Jaipur is a perfect starting point for other trips into Rajasthan. For example, you could now choose to move on to our Camels and Castles in Rajasthan or explore the Wonders of the World with our Golden Triangle India tour.
