Jaipur Private Holiday Tour Package

Route: Arrival at Jaipur – Amber Fort – Jaigarh Fort – Hawa Mahal (Photo Stop) – Johari Bazaar

Upon arrival at Jaipur International Airport or Railway Station, your dedicated driver welcomes you to the Pink City. Jaipur, founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and painted pink in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales, is the only planned city of the Mughal-Rajput era and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Depending on arrival time, head straight out to Amber Fort, 11 km from the city on a rocky Aravalli ridge — the former capital of the Kachhwaha Rajputs, built over 150 years in a fusion of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Walk through the Diwan-i-Am, the ornate Ganesh Pol gateway, and the Sheesh Mahal, whose mirror-encrusted ceiling scatters a single candle flame into a thousand points of light. Continue to Jaigarh Fort, connected to Amber by an underground passage, for panoramic Aravalli views and Jaivana, the world's largest wheeled cannon. Return to the city for golden-hour photographs at Hawa Mahal, the five-storey sandstone screen facade of 953 latticed windows, before an evening walk through Johari Bazaar. Overnight in Jaipur.

• Amber Fort's Sheesh Mahal — a mirror palace that turns a single candle into a constellation

• Jaigarh Fort and Jaivana — the world's largest wheeled cannon, never fired in battle

Begin at the City Palace Complex, still partially home to the Jaipur royal family, and visit the museum in Chandra Mahal — seven storeys of royal costumes, weapons, manuscripts, and artefacts, including the Mubarak Mahal textile collection with the world's largest single garment, a robe belonging to Maharaja Madho Singh I. Walk across to Jantar Mantar, the UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory built by Jai Singh II in 1724 — nineteen monumental masonry instruments that include Samrat Yantra, the world's largest stone sundial, accurate to two seconds. Continue to the Jal Mahal viewpoint on Man Sagar Lake, where the eighteenth-century Water Palace appears to float on the surface.
