Two Days in Jaipur: Explore the Pink City

  1. Day 1: Amer Fort
    30 minutes (9.7 km) from Jaipur City Centre

    Start your day with a visit to Amer Fort, one of the most impressive forts in Rajasthan. Explore this beautiful fort with its stunning architecture that blends Rajput and Mughal styles. Don't miss the Sheesh Mahal, a room decorated with thousands of mirrors that reflects light in a mesmerizing way. Afternoon can be spent exploring the nearby Panna Meena ka Kund, an ancient stepwell that used to serve as a source of water for the Amer Palace. In the evening, head to Chokhi Dhani, a cultural village that showcases Rajasthani traditions and culture. Enjoy an authentic Rajasthani dinner and folk performances.

  2. Day 2: Hawa Mahal and City Palace
    20 minutes (5.8 km) from Amer Fort

    Start your day with a visit to Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. This pink sandstone structure with its numerous small windows was built in 1799 for the royal women to observe the street life without being seen. After Hawa Mahal, head to City Palace, a complex of palaces, gardens, and courtyards that has been the residence of the Jaipur royal family for centuries. Don't forget to see the armory and the art gallery with its impressive collection of miniature paintings. In the evening, visit Jal Mahal, a beautiful palace situated in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. You can enjoy a boat ride in the lake or just relax and watch the sunset from one of the nearby restaurants.
