How to get around Jaipur

From Jaipur Airport, one of the best and most preferred ways to get downtown is via a cab. At the airport, a prepaid counter is available for passengers looking to get into town efficiently. Within Jaipur itself, visitors can have a shot at a ride on the auto rickshaws and cycle rickshaws for an unconventional experience.

However, be warned that fares should be determined before taking off on your journey within the city, and hold on tight throughout your thrilling ride as your rickshaw zips in and out of traffic.

Jaipur is also highly accessible from neighbouring cities since the installation of the Indian Railways, national highways, and extensive bus network services provided by Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation. Connecting to bigger cities like Delhi and Mumbai, and even faraway destinations like Chennai, visitors will be able to travel in and out of Jaipur and around India with ease.

What to see & do

As the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan, Jaipur is well known for its beautiful architecture. It is also recognised as the Pink City due to the specific colour being chosen to represent the warm hospitality of the city, and has thus been used as the official colour of all monuments and structures throughout its peripheries. Some pink icons include the Old City, home to stunning palaces which once housed influential royalty. Today, visitors can still check out traces of its remnants; such as the striking Ajmeri Gate still standing tall, proud and pink today. Otherwise, another popular cultural attraction is the Hawa Mahal, better known as the Palace of Winds for its 953 carefully designed windows. These windows were said to have enhanced the air circulation within its premises during unfavourable weather conditions, and allowed women who were sequestered in the palace a glimpse of the outside world and everyday street happenings.
