Jaipur: The Pink City — Guides, Itineraries & Tour Packages
Jaipur, Rajasthan’s capital, is known for rose-hued historic streets, hill forts, grand palaces, craft bazaars and rich Rajasthani food. It suits first-time India visitors, culture and architecture lovers, families, photographers and short weekend breaks from Delhi. October to March brings the most comfortable sightseeing weather, though afternoons can still feel warm. Most travellers arrive by air at Jaipur International Airport, by train from major Indian cities, or by road from Delhi and nearby Rajasthan destinations. Allow at least two full days for the city, with extra time for Amber and nearby excursions.
