Start with famous Rajasthani sweets and a hearty kachori sabzi; LMB is a Jaipur institution (open ~7:30am–11:00pm). Great for authentic flavours and a rooftop view in the old city.
Massive hilltop fort of marble and sandstone with ornate halls and panoramic views; best visited early to avoid heat and crowds (opens ~8:00am–5:30pm).
Tuck into dal baati churma, laal maas or a thali; popular with visitors and close to the palace (restaurants typically open 12:00pm–3:30pm and again 7:00pm–11:00pm).
Jantar Mantar's astronomical instruments are intriguing and just a short walk from the palace; Hawa Mahal is best photographed late afternoon (Jantar Mantar open ~9:00am–4:30pm).
Experience Rajasthani folk performances, camel rides and a traditional village-style buffet — opens ~5:00pm and runs late; excellent cultural immersion.
Stroll the sacred ghats and watch pilgrims offering prayers and flowers; sunset is special but a mid-day walk shows the market and local life (lake open all day).
Head to Jaisalmer station or airport for onward travel. Check train/flight times in advance (Jaisalmer train station and bus stand are well-connected; flights limited—book early).
