Private Jaipur Sightseeing Tour

Panna Meena Ka Kund, also known as Panna Meena Stepwell, is an 8-story traditional stepwell located in Amer, just a few minutes from the famous Amber Fort in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Built around the 16th century, it is a beautiful example of ancient water-management architecture.

Jagat Siromani Temple is one of the most exquisite and spiritually significant temples in Amer, Jaipur. Built in the early 17th century, it is dedicated to Meera Bai, Lord Krishna, and Vishnu, and is known for its exceptional architecture and peaceful ambience.

Sagar Lake, also known as Sagar Kund or Sagar Talai, is a serene historic lake located behind Amber Fort in Jaipur. Built by the rulers of Amer, it once served as an essential water reservoir for the fort and the surrounding region.

Jal Mahal, translated as “Water Palace,” is one of Jaipur’s most enchanting architectural marvels. Located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake, the palace appears as if it is floating gracefully on the serene waters, surrounded by the Aravalli hills. Its beauty lies not only in its design but also in the mysterious charm that has made it one of the most photographed monuments in Rajasthan.

Jal Mahal was originally built in the 18th century by Maharaja Madho Singh I as a lodge for royal duck-hunting parties. It was never meant to be a residence but a leisure retreat for the kings of Jaipur. The lake itself was created when a dam was constructed across the Darbhawati River, eventually forming Man Sagar Lake.

Later, Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber renovated the palace and the lake surroundings, giving Jal Mahal much of its present look.

Jaipur block printing is one of Rajasthan’s most celebrated traditional art forms—an ancient craft where patterns are hand-carved onto wooden blocks and printed onto fabric using natural or pigment dyes. Known for its precision, beauty, and cultural legacy, block printing from Jaipur has become globally famous for its vibrant colors, floral motifs, and intricate craftsmanship.

Block printing in Rajasthan is believed to have flourished over 300–500 years ago, brought by Chhipa (printer) communities who settled in areas like Bagru and Sanganer near Jaipur.

The City Palace of Jaipur stands at the heart of the Pink City and remains one of Rajasthan’s most magnificent royal complexes. Built in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, the palace served as the primary residence of the Kachwaha Rajput rulers for nearly three centuries. Even today, a part of the palace is still occupied by the royal family, preserving its legacy and cultural richness.

The City Palace is a remarkable fusion of Rajput, Mughal, and European architectural styles. Its courtyards, gateways, gardens, and intricately decorated halls form a luxurious ensemble that showcases the artistry of Rajasthan.

The most luxurious and oldest part of the palace, Chandra Mahal is a seven-storey royal residence. Though most floors are private, a few levels operate as a museum.
Each floor has a unique theme:

Jantar Mantar, located in the heart of Jaipur, is one of the largest and best-preserved astronomical observatories in the world. Built by the visionary astronomer–king Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II between 1724 and 1734, it stands today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its scientific brilliance and architectural precision.

This open-air astronomical laboratory contains the world’s most accurate pre-telescope instruments, designed to measure time, predict eclipses, track stars, and understand celestial movements using nothing but shadows, angles, and sunlight.

Maharaja Jai Singh II was deeply interested in astronomy and mathematics. Dissatisfied with existing astronomical tables, he studied ancient Hindu, Islamic, and European works and decided to build a series of large-scale automated instruments for higher accuracy.

Hawa Mahal, also known as the “Palace of Winds”, is one of Jaipur’s most iconic and visually striking landmarks. Built in 1799 by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, this five-storey palace is a masterpiece of Rajput architecture designed for royal women to observe daily life and festivals on the street—without being seen.

Its honeycomb façade, airy windows, and pink sandstone beauty have made it the timeless symbol of the Pink City.

Shaped like the crown of Lord Krishna, reflecting the king’s devotion.

Only one room deep, designed more like a high screen wall than a traditional palace.
