Tips

For a more relaxed pace, consider extending the trip to 6 days, adding a leisurely day in Jaipur’s **Jaigarh Fort** or a short nature walk in the nearby Aravalli hills. If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the day‑trip to Agra and instead spend a relaxing morning at the hotel’s pool, which reduces travel time and still keeps the overall cost within the same budget.
