About this experience
Enjoy a half-day tour of Jaipur's rich heritage in an e-rickshaw driven by friendly women. Start your day with a visit to the stunning flower market, where you will be greeted by an array of vibrant blooms and delightful scents. Next, you will visit the Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, and the royal City Palace.
After exploring the walled city, we will visit local factories and warehouses where you can witness the skilled work of women artisans. Finally, our trip concludes with a visit to the Albert Hall Museum.
NOTE: This service aims to assist women in earning a living. In many impoverished households, the money they earn is the sole income that feeds and supports their families. A significant number of these female drivers have alcoholic or abusive husbands, or are widows. They work hard and struggle, but the money earned from driving these rickshaws helps their families survive and thrive. Your patronage not only benefits them but also their communities.
