Detailed itinerary

First thing in the morning, we will take you to Jaipur’s vibrant flower market, where you’ll be greeted by a burst of colors, fresh fragrances, and the lively hustle of local vendors. Here, you can witness the daily rhythm of city life, see locals buying flowers for temples and homes, and experience an authentic side of Jaipur that many travelers miss.

The next stop is Hawa Mahal, also known as the 'Palace of Winds.' This iconic five-story structure, made of red and pink sandstone, is famous for its unique façade with 953 small windows designed to allow royal ladies to observe street life without being seen. It’s one of Jaipur’s most recognized and photographed landmarks.

We will pick you up from your hotel or any preferred location in Jaipur for a half-day sightseeing tour. Your first stop is Amer Fort, located about 11 km from the city center, where you can explore its stunning heritage buildings and architectural landmarks.

Next, you'll explore Panna Meena Ka Kund, a hidden gem tucked away near the Amer Fort. This 16th-century stepwell is admired for its symmetrical staircases, stunning geometry, and tranquil atmosphere—offering a perfect blend of architectural beauty and historical intrigue.

As you continue your journey, you'll pass by Jal Mahal—a stunning water palace situated in the center of Man Sagar Lake, offering a picturesque view against the backdrop of the Aravalli hills.

At the end of the tour, we will take you to experience the traditional art of block printing on fabric — a centuries-old craft for which Jaipur is renowned. Here, you’ll enjoy a live demonstration session, where artisans showcase the intricate process of hand-carving wooden blocks and printing beautiful patterns onto textiles.
