The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate early and often

Carry at least 1–2 liters of water per person per day; bottled water is often provided but a refillable bottle helps in hotter months.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes

Historic sites have uneven stone, steps, and scrambling to viewpoints—comfortable walking shoes reduce slips and sore feet.

Start before midday

Begin site visits in the morning to avoid peak heat and crowded courtyards, especially at Hawa Mahal and City Palace.

Respect temples and wildlife

Remove shoes where required, dress modestly, and don’t feed monkeys or birds—wildlife can become aggressive if provoked.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Panna Meena ka Kund — a geometric stepwell popular for photography
  • Royal Gaitor Tumbas — quieter royal cenotaphs with sculptural detail

Wildlife

  • Rhesus macaques at Galtaji Temple
  • Peacocks and urban passerine birds near Nahargarh and lake margins

Conservation Note

Man Sagar Lake and Jal Mahal have undergone restoration efforts to manage silt and water quality; support local guides and vendors who follow low-impact practices and avoid feeding wildlife.

Jaipur was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a planned capital; its uniform pink repainting in 1876 commemorated a royal visit and gave the city its nickname, the 'Pink City.'
