The best way to explore the city is to hire a driver who can take you around the various locations on both the days. It will cost approximately ₹1500-₹2000 per day, depending on the number of locations included in your itinerary.

Useful Tips

If you have more than two days in Jaipur, then visit the Birla Mandir Temple and the Nahargarh Fort. For those with less time, skip the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II Museum and the Puppet Show. It is recommended to visit the locations on the itinerary in the right order to adhere to the time constraints. When visiting the locations, keep drinking water to keep yourself hydrated, and wear comfortable shoes and clothes considering the heat and humidity.
