Wildlife & Heritage: Double Safari with Jaipur from Delhi

If you’re dreaming of a quick escape from Delhi that combines the vibrant royal culture of Jaipur with the thrill of spotting Bengal tigers in the wild, this 3-day Wildlife & Heritage tour might just fit the bill.

With private AC transportation and a dedicated guide, the experience is designed to feel personalized and comfortable, even for first-timers to Rajasthan.

What we really appreciate about this tour is how it balances cultural exploration with wildlife safaris. Visiting Jaipur’s iconic Hawa Mahal and City Palace offers a glimpse into the city’s regal past, while the safaris in Ranthambore National Park promise the chance to see majestic tigers in their natural environment — a rare and memorable experience.

A Detailed Look at the 3-Day Rajasthan Adventure

Day 1: From Delhi to Jaipur – The City of Palaces

We start early from Delhi, with a pick-up arranged at your hotel or airport, and set off approximately 5.5 hours southwest to Jaipur. The drive itself is an opportunity to settle in and get ready for the sights ahead. Once in Jaipur, the first stop is the Jaipur Fort, a commanding hilltop fortress offering sweeping views of the surrounding cityscape and desert landscape. We loved the way this site combines history with panoramic vistas—perfect for snapping photos.

Next, you get to explore the City Palace, a sprawling complex that blends Mughal and Rajput architecture. We enjoyed wandering through courtyards, museums, and tiny temples within its walls. The Hawa Mahal, with its honeycomb façade, is hard to miss—a true symbol of Jaipur’s regal style, and a favorite for its intricate honeycomb windows that once let royal women observe street life without being seen.

In the afternoon, a visit to Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO-listed astronomical observatory, grounds the tour in scientific curiosity. It’s fascinating to see giant instruments used centuries ago to measure time and predict celestial events. Afterward, you’re free to explore Jaipur’s lively markets at your leisure, perfect for picking up souvenirs or just soaking in local life.

Day 2: From Jaipur to Ranthambore – Wildlife and Culture

After breakfast, we visit Albert Hall Museum, a lovely building showcasing art and artifacts that reflect Rajasthan’s rich cultural tapestry. Then, the Birla Temple offers a peaceful moment—its white marble gleaming and set against lush gardens, it’s a serene contrast to the bustling city.

The journey to Ranthambore National Park takes about four hours, giving you time to rest and prepare for the adventure ahead. Upon arrival, you’ll check into your hotel, then head out for the evening safari. We loved the excitement of the park’s natural setting—open Jeep rides give you a chance to spot tigers, leopards, and a variety of birds. The safaris are shared, and the chances of tiger sightings depend on natural movements, but the park is known for good wildlife presence.

Guests have commented that the safaris itself are “thrilling,” and the park’s diverse landscape makes every ride different. One reviewer even said, “Seeing the tiger in the wild was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the safaris are well-organized.” Keep in mind, safaris are early morning or evening only, and weather can influence the experience.

Day 3: The Early Safari and Return to Delhi

The earliest part of the day is the highlight—your morning safari in Ranthambore. This is your best chance to see Bengal tigers in action. We found that waking up early is worth it for the chance to observe these magnificent animals on the prowl. After the safari, enjoy breakfast, then check out and begin the long drive back to Delhi, which takes around 8 hours.
