Private 2-Day Jaipur Tour from Delhi

Day 1:

The driver will pick you up from your hotel in Delhi and take you on the 5-hour trip to Jaipur. Upon arrival, meet your private tour guide at Jal Mahal. Start a sightseeing tour by visiting Jal Mahal Palace, located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. A gentle splashing of oars on the clear lake waters takes you to Jal Mahal. Move past decorated hallways and chambers on the first floor to climb all the way up to the fragrant Chameli Bagh. Across the lake, you can view the Aravalli hills, dotted with temples and ancient forts, and on the other side, see the bustling Jaipur.

After Jal Mahal, visit the City Palace in the heart of Jaipur, which includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings which are known for the blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. The Chandra Mahal palace now houses a museum but the greatest part of it is still the royal residence. The palace complex, located northeast of the center of the grid-patterned Jaipur city, incorporates an impressive and vast array of courtyards, gardens and buildings. Enjoy the fine collection of textiles, costumes and armor at the City Palace.

After visiting City Palace you will be taken to your hotel in Jaipur for check-in, lunch (own expense) and rest. In the evening visit Birla Temple, also known as Laxmi Narayan Temple, constructed from white marble with modern approach. After Visiting Birla Temple, enjoy dinner (own expense) at one of the local restaurants in Jaipur and drive back to your hotel.

Overnight at Hotel Nahargarh Haveli or similar

Day 2:

After breakfast and check-out your private tour guide will meet you at the hotel lobby. Start the day by visiting the Amber Fort. Amber Fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Maota Lake. The aesthetic ambiance of the palace is seen within its walls. Constructed of red sandstone and marble, the attractive and opulent palace is laid out on four levels, each with a courtyard.

Next, visit Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), named so because it was essentially a high screen wall built so the women of the royal household could observe street festivities while unseen from the outside. Constructed of red and pink sandstone, the palace sits on the edge of the City Palace, and extends to the zenana, or women's chambers. Finally, see the observatory of Jantar Mantar, built by the renowned astronomer Maharaja Jai Singh. After the tour is over you will be taken back to Delhi and arrive to your hotel around midnight.
