Jaipur Day Tour from Delhi by Car – Explore the Pink City in One Day
Route: Delhi - Jaipur - Delhi.
Morning: Departure from Delhi to Jaipur
Your journey begins with an early morning pickup from your Delhi hotel by your private driver in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy a scenic drive through the countryside of Rajasthan as you make your way to the Pink City – Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, known for its royal heritage, vibrant bazaars, and stunning architecture. The drive takes approximately 4 to 5 hours (around 280 km), depending on traffic conditions.
Mid-Morning: Arrival in Jaipur and Visit to Amber Fort
Upon arrival in Jaipur, head straight to the majestic Amber Fort, perched on a hilltop overlooking Maota Lake. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture, famous for its ornate gateways, mirror palace (Sheesh Mahal), and intricate marble carvings. You can either take a jeep ride or walk up the cobbled path to the main entrance. Your guide will walk you through the history of the Rajput kings who once ruled from this formidable fort.
Late Morning: Drive Past Jal Mahal (Water Palace)
After exploring Amber Fort, continue your tour with a photo stop at Jal Mahal, the beautiful Water Palace located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. This iconic structure seems to float on the water and is best admired from the roadside promenade.
Afternoon: City Palace & Jantar Mantar
Following lunch at a local Rajasthani restaurant, head to the City Palace, a grand complex of courtyards, gardens, and museums that offer a glimpse into Jaipur’s royal past. Admire the elegant architecture, royal costumes, and weaponry displayed in the palace museum. Just adjacent to the palace is the Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory built in the 18th century, known for its enormous stone instruments used to measure celestial events with remarkable accuracy.
Late Afternoon: Hawa Mahal and Market Exploration
Next, visit the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), with its distinctive pink sandstone façade and 953 small windows (jharokhas) designed for royal ladies to observe street life unseen. While the interior is compact, it’s an excellent photo opportunity and a symbol of Jaipur. Afterward, enjoy some time to explore the nearby local markets, including Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar, known for jewelry, textiles, handicrafts, and traditional Rajasthani souvenirs.
Evening: Return Drive to Delhi
After a fulfilling day of sightseeing, begin your drive back to Delhi in the evening. Sit back and relax as your driver navigates the journey back. Upon arrival in Delhi, you will be dropped off at your hotel or directly at the airport, as per your preference, marking the end of your memorable same-day trip to Jaipur.
