Day 1: Departure & Arrival

Afternoon: Arrive at Jaipur Junction and store luggage in the station’s affordable locker. Walk to the nearby Old City Market for a budget lunch of dal‑baati churma at a local dhaba.

Evening: Stroll to Hawa Mahal for sunset photos; the monument is free to view from the street. Return to the station and board the same RST bus back to Sitapura, arriving late evening.

Morning: Take a shared auto‑rickshaw to City Palace. Explore the courtyards and museums (entry fee ₹50) and enjoy the nearby Jantar Mantar (free entry).

Afternoon: Grab a quick, inexpensive thali at a street vendor near Albert Hall Museum. After lunch, wander through Bapu Bazaar for affordable souvenirs and Rajasthani textiles.

Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day to visit the Amber Fort (use a local bus for cheap access) or explore the Jal Mahal by renting a shared bike.
