If you have a short window, visit Albert Hall Museum (museum opens around 9:00–17:00) or take a short drive to a city viewpoint for final photos; skip if pressed for time.
Begin the drive back to Delhi via NH48; allow 4.5–6 hours depending on traffic — plan buffer for tolls and breaks. You can also opt for a morning train (Shatabdi/Gatimaan options) if you prefer rail.

Verify current opening hours and ticket prices (October high season). Book Amber Fort and City Palace tickets and any special dinners in advance. Carry water, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes for walking uneven fort paths.
