Planning a vibrant 3-night, 4-day adventure in Jaipur? 🧡 Get ready for a whirlwind of palaces, ancient wonders, and buzzing markets – with bonus tips for smooth city exploring! Jaipur totally delivered – even the night-lit Hawa Mahal was epic and lively, the blend of modern and Western-style architecture made every stroll Instagram-worthy. 🌃✨
Day 1:
Arrive in Jaipur and check into your hotel. Start with a chill evening walk at Jal Mahal – a stunning lake palace, great for sunset snaps and quiet vibes.
Day 2:
Dive into the city’s iconic gem: Hawa Mahal (Hawa Mahal Rd, Badi Choupad). Open 09:00-19:00, best visited before crowds peak. The Palace of Winds is especially magical at night, so swing by for the illuminated view after dinner!
Nearby tip: Street food stalls around Badi Choupad are perfect for spicy samosas and sweet lassi.
Day 3:
Head to The City Palace (Gangori Bazaar). Open 09:30-19:30. Take your time exploring lavish courtyards and museum sections – but beware: it gets crowded by late morning. If rainy, pack a light umbrella and keep your shoes splash-proof, as paths can get slick.
Hungry? Try the nearby Baradari Restaurant for royal thali.
Day 4:
Check out Jantar Mantar (Malve Nagar), open 09:00-18:30. The giant astronomical instruments are wild, and guides are worth hiring for cool science stories. Swing back through Pink City’s labyrinthine bazaars for handicrafts before heading home.
Jaipur Hacks:
- Use rickshaws or Uber for local commutes; traffic jams are real.
- Most major spots are outdoors: Sunscreen and hat are must-haves (cloudy or sunny!).
- Bring INR cash for market shopping; credit cards often not accepted.
- Hotels can arrange airport transfers, makes arrival/departure stress-free.
