Description

Explore Jaipur's Pink City on a guided walking tour. Visit the Hawa Mahal, City Palace, and Govind Dev Ji Temple, and discover the vibrant Tripolia Bazaar and historic Tripolia Gate.
Begin your walking tour at the iconic Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. Admire this famous historical monument, built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh and designed by the architect Lal Chand Ustad. Marvel at the palace's red and pink sandstone facade, an extension of the City Palace complex.

Next, head to Jaleb Chowk, the grand outer entry courtyard of the City Palace. Learn how it served as the historical gathering place for royal guards and processions. Continue to the Govind Dev Ji Temple, one of the most revered Lord Krishna temples in India.

Located inside the City Palace complex, the temple was established in 1735 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. Then, visit the City Palace, one of Jaipur's most iconic royal landmarks. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II between 1727 and 1732, a part of the palace remains the official residence of the Jaipur royal family.

Next, see Tripolia Gate, one of Jaipur's most historic gateways and the royal entrance to the City Palace. Learn how the name "Tripolia" comes from the words "Tri" (three) and "Pol" (gate), referring to its three-arched entrance. It was built in 1734 during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur.

Finally, visit Tripolia Bazaar, one of Jaipur's oldest and most vibrant traditional markets, located in the heart of the Pink City near Tripolia Gate and the City Palace. Established in the 18th century during the reign of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, it has remained a major shopping destination for both locals and tourists.
