Jaipur can be seen in a day, but only if the day is put together in the right order. The difference between a good visit and an exhausting one is almost entirely a matter of sequence: which monument at which hour, and which road between them. That is what a driver who works here every week actually sells you.
Every operator in Jaipur visits the same five places. What separates a pleasant day from a hot, queueing one is when you arrive at each.
We start at Amber Fort early, before the coaches and before the heat — it sits outside the city and everyone else reaches it late morning. Jal Mahal, the palace standing in the middle of the lake, is on the way back and takes ten minutes. Then the walled city: the City Palace, still partly lived in by the royal family, and Jantar Mantar next door, an observatory of enormous stone instruments that still keep accurate time.
Hawa Mahal comes last, in the late afternoon, because the facade faces east and the light is on it then. Photographed at midday it is flat and grey; photographed at four it is the picture you came for.
If you have the appetite for it, there are things worth more than a fifth monument: the flower and spice market at dawn, the block-printing workshops in Sanganer, the stepwell at Panna Meena ka Kund below Amber, largely empty while the fort above it is full. Tell us what interests you and we build the day around it.
In Jaipur a great many drivers are paid a commission to deliver visitors to particular emporiums, which is why so many tours include shopping stops nobody asked for. We do not do this. If you want to buy textiles or gemstones we will take you somewhere honest and wait outside; if you do not, the subject never comes up.
Told upfront, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Around half past eight from your hotel. Earlier is better in the hot months, and we are happy to start at seven if you are.
No, and we say so plainly. Monument prices change and differ for Indian and foreign visitors, so quoting them inside a package usually means somebody is rounding up. You pay them on the day, at the counter.
The driver is a driver: he will tell you plenty between stops, but he is not a licensed monument guide and cannot accompany you inside as one. Where a guide genuinely adds something, at Amber Fort and the City Palace, we can arrange a good local one.
Only if you ask. We do not take commissions from emporiums, which is why our days are shorter on shopping and longer on Jaipur.
For the main sights, yes. Two days lets you add Nahargarh Fort at sunset and the quieter corners of the old city, and turns a checklist into a visit.
Frequently it does. A day in Jaipur is how many of our multi-day journeys through Rajasthan begin, with the same driver carrying on afterwards.
Tell us your dates and we send back a price and a plan, usually within 24 hours. No deposit required.
Very friendly, full of anecdotes, and above all serious and impeccable driving in complicated traffic.
Never seen such a polite, patient and informative person. Would definitely recommend him to my friends.
