Description
Explore Jaipur like a local in a tuk tuk, through its vibrant bazaars, temples, and historic monuments.
Begin your adventure with a pick-up from your hotel in Jaipur and hop on a tuk tuk to explore the city like a true local. Before starting the day, enjoy a hot masala chai on the way, just like the Jaipuris do every morning. Our first stop is a panoramic view of the imposing Amber Fort, which stands majestically on the hills. From there, we enter a picturesque street full of life, almost like a small village, to visit the beautiful Panna Meena Ka Kund stepwell, followed by the Shiromani temple, dedicated to the god Krishna, where devotion and peace reign.
Via ancient stone steps surrounded by vegetation, we walk to the main entrance of Amber Fort, a jewel of Rajput architecture. After exploring the surroundings, we return to the tuk-tuk and head to Jal Mahal, the Water Palace, where we stop to take photos in front of this palace floating on Lake Man Sagar.
Next, we enjoy a well-deserved lunch at a local restaurant before continuing on to the serene and little-visited royal cenotaphs of Gaitor, a peaceful place steeped in history where the ancient maharajas rest.
In the heart of the Pink City, we admire the iconic facade of the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds, followed by a visit to the fascinating Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory, a World Heritage Site.
To end the day with a local flavor, we head to MI Road to try a refreshing lassi at the famous Lassi Walla, an essential stop in Jaipur. Finally, we return comfortably to your hotel after a day full of history, culture, flavors, and unforgettable sights.
