Destination

Jaipur

Amber Fort, City Palace, bazaars, and royal dining — the Pink City as a 3-day royal weekend from anywhere in India.

Jaipur is the Rajasthan city you can do properly in a long weekend: forts you can walk, palaces you can enter, and bazaars that still sell jewellery and block prints. It is popular with families and with couples who want heritage without a 10-day desert circuit.

A solid 3 days / 2 nights covers Amber Fort (with the jeep up), City Palace, Jantar Mantar, a Hawa Mahal photo stop, and one unhurried evening in the old city or at a village-style dinner. Add a fourth day if you want Nahargarh sunset or a side trip to Pushkar / Samode.

From Gujarat, Jaipur is a short flight or an overnight train. We keep the sightseeing in a private cab so you are not changing autos between forts in the heat, and we time Amber for morning light before the queues build.
