Itinerary
Towards the end of the day, many visitors like to take a gentle stroll around the Albert Hall Museum, the state museum of Rajasthan. The building is a fine example of Indo-Saracenic architecture. The museum houses a rich collection of artifacts including paintings, jewelry, carpets, ivory, stone, metal sculptures, and works in crystal.
No trip to Jaipur would be complete without a visit to the world-famous Palace of the Winds, the Hawa Mahal. It was constructed Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh to house the ladies of the royal court. Its famous pink pyramid-shaped façade has many latticework windows that allowed the ladies to see outside but not be seen themselves.
Back in the Pink City, an unmissable destination is the Jantar Mantar, Maharaja Jai Singh’s huge astronomical observatory. This World Heritage Site is filled with huge sundials and angular constructions that were used by the royal astronomers to track the movements of the sun, planets, and constellations. They say that the central sundial can tell the time with an accuracy of within 2 seconds.
Most visitors to Jaipur want to see the City Palace, which is just a couple of minutes away from the Jantar Mantar. The palace complex includes the Chandra Mahal and Mubarak Mahal palaces and other buildings, and is still the home of the Royal Family of Jaipur. It was constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II when he moved his royal court from Amber to Jaipur.
The majestic Amber Fort dates from the 16th century and sits on a hill top about 11 km outside the Pink City. Sit back and enjoy the ride. The fort is open from 8:00 am (until 5:30 pm) and the entrance is reached after a short walk from the car park up an ancient road. If you would rather not walk, you can take a jeep or a golf cart, or even ride on the back of an elephant. The fort is superbly preserved and offers magnificent views of the surrounding countryside and the nearby Maota Lake.
Near to the Amber fort is an incredible 16th century step well (or baoli). It has 8 levels of steps down to the water. It’s no longer in use, but you can follow the steps down to the water if you want.
Close to the Amber fort is the Rajput-style Jal Mahal, a stunning water palace that seems to float on the surface of the Man Sagar Lake. The Jal Mahal dates from the 17th century and was once one of the favourite palaces of the Jaipur Royal Family.
At Royal Gator, close to the Nahagarh Fort, you will see the ancient tombs and mausoleums of the Jaipur Maharajas and Royal Family, including the tomb of the city’s founder Jai Singh. The marble domes and columns are the perfect place for that exotic selfie!
No visit to the Pink City is complete without seeing one of the bazaars. These busy shopping streets and always are filled with shops and stalls selling everything you can imagine, from spices, fruit, jewellery, and clothes, to traditional hand-made kitchen cutlery. You can walk a while if you wish, or we can just drive through the bazaar.

We were personally recommended Naresh’s tour and it was the highlight of our Jaipur visit. He is very knowledgeable and informative while maintaining a relaxed pace. Aside from this he is really a very interesting and lovely person to spend the day with. If your looking for anything to buy he will show you to the best places as well.
We were lucky to come across Naresh when we ordered a tuktuk and our day became even better. Naresh took us through town and showed us interesting spots. Later in the day we reached out again and did another little tour. Naresh is a wonderful driver and great person to chat with, very knowledgeable and funny!
- it was a good organisation - friendly and calm driver - good recommendation for a restaurant - had a chai at a local place Together
This tour was perfect! Naresh was able to show me all of the spots to see in Jaipur and provided a great service. He even took me for some local food as well and brought great knowledge and humor along the way. Amazing value for the price and Naresh will make sure to leave you with a memorable experience if Jaipur!
Naresh is the such a kind & generous & trustworthy guy with a fantastic funny personality. He took us everywhere and more, extremely knowledgeable about the area, took us for the best samosas you’ll ever eat. He wrote a book about his childhood which we bought, when you start reading it you will see what a child living on the streets is like, this was truly an amazing pleasure & experience to meet Naresh, I can’t recommend him enough, if your ever in Jaipur this is the only guy you call to drive you around, thank you Naresh, amazing, amazing, amazing 🤩
Naresh was a fantastic guide! We met him by chance and I can honestly say I am sad we had only one afternoon with him. If he had been available, we would have spent the whole time with him. He is very informative, friendly and overall fun to spend time with. He’s very honest, tailors the trip to you and doesn’t push anything. He has very fair prices and takes you to very interesting places.
We had a great time on our tour with Naresh! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and was able to provide us with lots of information. He took us to the main sights and was able to tailor the tour to what we wanted. He is very friendly and kind and it was great to also hear his story and we are looking forward to reading his book. Would recommend this tour! 10/10 :)
Naresh is a great driver, will not force you to do anything, will also reasonably explain the journey, everything is very convenient for the benefit and comfort, if you have the opportunity to go to Yippo, be sure to find him! It can completely customize your itinerary for you, the entire North India can help you to plan or give advice, great.
Had a great day out exploring Jaipur forts and sights, we came with our own plan and these made it even better. Definitely recommend if you’re wanting good guidance around Jaipur and avoiding busy times to get the most out of your time.
We had a fabulous day with Naresh, visiting all of the must see sites in Jaipur. He gave us all of the information and transported us in the best and cleanest Tuk Tuk in Jaipur. More importantly Naresh is a very special man who has worked his way from the streets to a successful small business owner. We bought his book and have read his struggles from a street kid. He and the book are a true inspiration. Please do not miss out on Naresh touching your life while in Jaipur. 100% recommend his services.
