Jaipur is one of the most loved & visited cities in India. I’m yet to come across anyone who did not enjoy their Jaipur trip. Many have reached out to me to either suggest a 3-day Jaipur itinerary or check if their choice of things to do in Jaipur is in order. This inspired me to create this travel blog with things to do in Jaipur and a 3-day Jaipur itinerary. It makes it so much easier for me to simply share Itinerary in Jaipur for 3 days blog, help travelers, and save everyone’s time. Given the possibilities of many things to do in Jaipur & places to visit, this Jaipur 3 day itinerary travel guide blog will surely help people plan better.

Places To Visit And Things to Do in Jaipur

Even though there are many places to visit and things to do in Jaipur, I have selected a few that most travelers would enjoy to experience in 3 days. The places listed here are based on uniqueness and must visit places in Jaipur.

Amer Fort

Amer Fort needs a 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? This answers every query and question you have about 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, drivers are also accomplices in such practices.

Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh Fort is the most popular fort in Jaipur and is usually part of every Jaipur 3 day tour plan. 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. Jaipur sunset point in Nahargarh Fort is often overcrowded. Read: Nahargarh Fort Sunset Experience. To learn more about Nahargarh Fort, read the detailed Nahargarh Fort Jaipur blog The Insider’s Guide to Nahargarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort

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

Walking Tour Jaipur

Walking Tour Jaipur would be a great addition to your Jaipur trip. The rising popularity of Jaipur walking tours is a good sign of interest in Jaipur Heritage. Lately, many operators offer a walking tour in Jaipur; most of these do not give a good experience. Many of these Jaipur walks are often a trap to lead visitors to shops by quoting low walking tour prices; the low cost charged for a tour is subsidized by kickbacks and commissions from shopping or food. Quite a few of these 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 for 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 the complete Jantar Mantar travel guide – Sawai Jai Singh’s Celestial Marvel

Here is a picture from Jantar Mantar

Albert Hall Museum

Albert Hall Museum is the state museum of Jaipur. This museum includes 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 is the collection impressive, but the building architecture is remarkable. It is one of the best specimens of Indo-Saracenic architecture in India. Read the in-depth guide on Albert Hall Jaipur – Albert Hall Museum | Indo-Saracenic Architectural Masterpiece in Jaipur

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, Meenakari, handmade gift items, and attires & garments with intricate workmanship, to name a few.

Kishanbagh

Kishanbagh is a one of a kind 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?

What is Jaipur 3 day trip cost?

Travelers often ask about the cost of Jaipur 3 day trip. It would be very difficult to generalise the cost of Jaipur 3 day tour. Assuming most travelers requesting this information are budget conscious travelers, my answer is aimed at this set of travelers. One can easily find budget stays due to the availability of many budget hotels in Jaipur. One can find hotels for as low as Rs 500; these are usually not clean places. For this budget I would recommend staying in hostels in Jaipur. It is possible to find a bed in hostel dorm in Jaipur for as low as Rs 400. With Rs 500-800 for food and another Rs 500 for transport, one can easily do a budget trip to Jaipur. So on a conservative estimate, Jaipur 3 day trip plan cost can be as low as Rs 4500 excluding travel to and from Jaipur. recommendation is to plan Rs 7500 for Jaipur for a 3 day tour cost; this excludes travel in and out of Jaipur.

On a higher side, one can plan for Rs 10,000 to Rs 1,50,000 per day Jaipur trip cost given the variety of luxury stay and transport options in Jaipur.

  1. I really enjoyed reading this post on places to visit in three days around Jaipur, Arv. As always, I am amazed by the numerous forts Jaipur has and how each one of them is very different. That is a lovely shot of Albert Hall Museum with the birds in front. Are those pigeons? There are quite a lot of them.

    I like that you say design your itinerary based on location and preference of visit. Different people like doing different things on travel. For me, shopping is usually not on top of the list, but more like exploring cultural sites or spending some time in nature. It’s been a while, Arv. Hope you have been doing well 🙂

    1. You are right, Mabel, everyone has their own choices and preferences. There are many travelers who prefer minimalist lifestyle and therefore avoid shopping. Have you always been like this during travel or this is a change over the years?
      Yes, Mabel, it has been quite some time. Hope you are doing well.

      1. For me I think I like a mix of things when traveling. I like to see cultural sites. Maybe some shopping but definitely not not usually keen on a whole holiday of shopping. I like to take it easy. So for you to have a flexible itinerary, that’s great – can customise.

        Yes, it has been quite some time. I have been alright. Been busy with studying and writing 🙂

      2. I’m glad your travel style is balanced. Flexible itinerary is always helpful when traveling.
        I assumed you are busy for I haven’t seen your blog, lately.

      3. Flexible itinerary is always good as travel can be unpredictable. Sometimes I might want to do something else halfway during a trip.

        Life has been busy this year. Hopefully I can get back to blogging more consistently 😄
