[Shubham Varshney]

Jaipur city as widely known by the epithet “The Pink City” offers a variety of tours and sightseeing of monuments and activities. Mostly tourists visit this city from Agra and Delhi or come straight to Jaipur. These tourists who do their Rajasthan tour also include this city in their travel plan and stay for two nights. If you have short time you can do half day city tour of Amber Fort and the City Palace. But most demanded is One Day Jaipur Tour in which you can easily cover the major highlights of this city and enjoy shopping spree. In case you have one overnight to stay do not forget to visit Chokhi Dhani and savour the Rajasthani dishes along with the ethnic tinge.

Otherwise if you have two or three nights you can also plan for visiting The Nahar Garh and Jaigarh Fort along with the tour of Amber Fort, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal. You can also involve yourself in a cycle tour in the city center close to the Albert Museum. You can also visit the elephant village which has the close proximity to the Amber Fort. If you are a shopaholic Jaipur tour of colorful bazaars can fill your heart with satisfaction up to the brim. In case you decide to do Same Day Jaipur tour either form Agra or Delhi you can do it by road in 12 hours by booking a private car with driver.

For those tourists who are interested in Indian art ‘Albert Museum’ is an ideal place and for local traditions Galta Jee visit is ultimate. Here you come across the symbiosis of monkeys and the humans. You can also plan for same day trips or excursion tours from Jaipur like one day tour of Pushkar, Same day tour of Abaneri and Bhangarh from Jaipur or one day tour of Samode Palace form Jaipur. Important thing to note for Jaipur tour is that you can do shopping at Bapu Bazaar, M.I. Road and avoid the tourist trap. Another thing to keep in mind that you have to be careful with the monkeys and do not carry food eatables camera, glasses in the open. You should also be careful with the beggars and hawkers and eating the street food.
