The Journey Begins: Delhi to Jaipur by Train

The train’s schedule is designed to maximize sightseeing time in Jaipur while allowing a comfortable journey back later in the day.

Exploring Amber Fort

Arriving at Jaipur, your first major stop is the Amber Fort, a sprawling hilltop fortress with stunning architecture that reflects the grandeur of Rajasthan’s royal past. The highlight? The option to take an elephant ride or jeep ride up the hill—an experience that many find charming, but worth noting that some feel it’s a bit touristy. We loved the view from the top and wandering through the courtyards and intricate halls.

The guide share stories about the history, giving context to the impressive stonework, mirror decorations, and the sprawling views of the surrounding landscape. The visit lasts about 2 hours, giving you enough time to explore without feeling rushed.

Iconic Landmarks: Hawa Mahal & Jal Mahal

Next, you’ll stop at Hawa Mahal, the “Palace of Winds,” famous for its honeycomb façade and pink sandstone. It’s a quick visit—just about an hour—but enough to snap some great photos of Jaipur’s signature pink buildings.

Then, it’s time for Jal Mahal or the “Water Palace.” From the lakeside, you’ll get a wonderful view of this palace rising from the water, making for spectacular photos. This stop lasts about an hour and offers a perfect chance to relax and enjoy the scenery.

Lunch & Market Stroll

A real treat is the included traditional Rajasthani lunch at a local restaurant. We enjoyed flavorful curries, fresh bread, and sweet treats, all authentic and reasonably priced. It’s a good chance to sample regional cuisine in a relaxed setting.

After lunch, you’ll visit Jaipurs vibrant markets—Johari Bazaar or Bapu Bazaar—where locals shop for textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts. It’s a lively scene, perfect for grabbing souvenirs or simply soaking in the local color. Keep in mind, you might want to set a budget and be prepared for some lively bargaining.
