The Experience

The private car option picks you up from any hotel or airport in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad or Faridabad and takes 4 hours to reach Jaipur. Once there, your guide meets you and walks you through the city's principal sites: Jaigarh Fort, built in 1726 to protect the Amber Fort and home to the Jaivana Cannon, the world's largest wheeled cannon; Hawa Mahal, the pink sandstone palace constructed in 1799 for the royal ladies; and City Palace, where you explore patterned gardens and architecture that once served as the Maharaja's seat. A lunch break lets you taste local cuisine at restaurants your guide recommends.

The afternoon takes you to Jal Mahal, the 17th-century Water Palace sitting in the middle of Man Sagar Lake in Rajput style, and closes at Jantar Mantar observatory, which holds the most significant set of fixed monumental instruments built in India in the first half of the 18th century. The return drive to Delhi takes another 4 hours. If you choose the train option instead, pickup happens at 5 AM and you arrive in Jaipur by 10 AM, visit the same sites with your guide, then catch a train back at 6 PM, with a driver waiting at Delhi Station around 11 PM to take you to your hotel.

The car comes air-conditioned and sized to your group: a four-seater sedan for one or two people, a six-seater wagon for three to five, a nine-seater van for six to nine, or a twelve-seater for ten to twelve. Bottled water is provided during travel. All monument entries, guide fees, fuel, taxes and transfers are included; you'll need to carry a valid photo ID for each traveler at monument gates. The tour can be customized after booking if you want to adjust the itinerary.

Is this one for you?Choose the car option if you want to leave and return the same day without an overnight journey; pick the train option if you prefer rail travel and don't mind arriving back in Delhi late at night. Either way, the guide and all monument entries are the same, so the choice comes down to how much time you want to spend traveling versus sightseeing.
