Places To Visit And Things to Do in Jaipur

Amer Fort

Amer Fort needs little explanation. It is a premier attraction in Jaipur and at the forefront among Jaipur travel places. You can read an in-depth Amer Fort travel blog – Amer Fort The only guide you will need and Why Amer Fort in Jaipur is famous? It answers every query and question you might have on Amer Fort. A word of caution. Due to a large number of tourists visiting Amer Fort, scammers posing as guides often approach tourists to lure them into shops selling handicrafts, carpets, jewelry, stones, etc. Most of these are low-priced items but sold at exorbitant prices as the sale involves kickbacks and commissions. Stay clear of touts and guides in Jaipur. Often, the drivers are also an accomplice in such practices.

Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort is one of the less visited forts in Jaipur. It is famed for its large cannon and water storage tanks. The water collection system of Jaigarh Fort is worth exploring. I wish the fort was better maintained and curated. To know more about Jaigarh Fort, read the detailed Jaigarh Fort Jaipur blog Jaigarh Fort The Dismay

Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh Fort is the most popular fort in Jaipur and is usually part of every Jaipur itinerary. It is also referred to as the most happening fort in Jaipur and draws a large number of young people. Restored a couple of years ago, it is definitely worth visiting, especially for the Madhvendra Palace, Nahargarh Fort sunsets, and Nahargarh Fort sunrise. Read Sunrise at Nahargarh Fort The Jaipur sunset point in Nahargarh Fort is often overcrowded. Read Nahargarh Fort Sunset Experience. To know more about Nahargarh Fort, read the detailed Nahargarh Fort Jaipur blog The Insider’s Guide to Nahargarh Fort

Jal Mahal

Jal Mahal is closed to visitors but one can have a nice view of this water palace from the promenade. It makes for a pretty backdrop in pictures. To know more about Jalmahal Jaipur, read the detailed Jaipur Jalmahal blog Inside Jal Mahal

Walking Tour in Jaipur

Walking Tour in Jaipur is a great addition to your Jaipur trip. The rising popularity of the Jaipur walking tours is a good indication of interest in Jaipur Heritage. Lately, many operators are offering a walking tour in Jaipur but not all of these are of good quality. A large number of these walks are often a trap to lead the visitors to shops by quoting low walking tour prices; the low cost charged from the travelers is subsidized with kickbacks and commissions from shopping or food. Often many Jaipur walking tours are not worth spending time & money on. If you want more information on the Jaipur heritage walking tour and how you can do a walking tour in Jaipur.

Hawa Mahal

Hawa Mahal is one of the most photographed places in Jaipur and it is not surprising. It is one of a kind. If you have time, explore the Hawa Mahal complex. Read the full in-depth Hawa Mahal travel blog- Hawa Mahal Guide

Jaipur City Palace

Jaipur City Palace is the next most visited tourist place in Jaipur and is definitely part of 3 days Jaipur itinerary of travelers. Though popular, personally, it fails to impress me in terms of the collection and the overall experience. I prefer the Albert Hall Museum over the Museum of Jaipur City Palace because of the importance of exhibits and the quality of the display. To know more about Jaipur City Palace, read the detailed City Palace Jaipur blog Jaipur City Palace | Walk with museum curators

Jantar Mantar

Jantar Mantar Jaipur is the only well-maintained solar observatory built in the 18th century in India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I highly recommend a visit to Jantar Mantar in Jaipur. All solar instruments are still functional and highly accurate. Here is a picture from Jantar Mantar

Albert Hall Museum

Albert Hall Museum is the state museum of Jaipur. This museum contains many important and rare exhibits. In my opinion, in terms of the display and exhibits, the Albert Hall Museum is the best museum in Jaipur and worth a visit. If you have to choose a visit to one museum in Jaipur, I would recommend Albert Hall Museum. Not only the collection is impressive, but the building architecture is remarkable. It is one of the best specimens of Indo-Sarascenic architecture in India.

Chokhi Dhani

Chokhi Dhani is a popular tourist attraction in Jaipur. It is an ethnic Rajasthani village setting providing a good cultural experience. While I do not recommend it to everyone because of excessive commercialization, it might be a good experience for those seeking a cultural experience.

Shopping in Jaipur

A visit to Jaipur is incomplete without shopping. Shopping in Jaipur markets is one of the must-do activities in Jaipur for female travelers. The variety of wares and the price range are unmatched. Over the past few years, Jaipur has been one of the top places for wedding shopping in India. Among the items to shop in Jaipur are wedding Lehengas, Sherwanis, jewelry, handmade gift items, and attires & garments with intricate workmanship, to name a few. To know more about Shopping in Jaipur markets, read the detailed Jaipur Shopping blog here – Jaipur shopping markets guide

Kishanbagh

Kishanbagh is one of a kind of project. I highly recommend Kishanbagh to nature lovers. While travelers usually visit popular tourist attractions in Jaipur, the inclusion of Kishanbagh adds a completely new dimension to the travel experience; more so, when traveling with kids to Jaipur. The naturalists accompany visitors and explain all there is to know about the local flora, fauna, and topography. Where else can you gain so much?
