24 hours in Jaipur- The Pink City

Accommodating the biggest airport and a gateway to all the major tourist destinations of Rajasthan, Jaipur is a fabulous pit stop of Rajasthani adventures. It is absolutely possible to get the best of Jaipur in 1 day. A good day’s itinerary can have you covered on all the top attractions of the Pink City, along with a brief encounter with its’s culture, food and perhaps some retail therapy. If you are wondering what to do in Jaipur for 1 day, check out the following itinerary that will bestow you with a royal experience just in the right amount of time.



Cover all the main town city attractions in the morning, through the afternoon. Following these, you can move out the other attractions of significance that lie on the outskirts. Start your 1 day trip to Jaipur, by visiting the prime attraction of the city- the City Palace. This particular attraction will enlighten you on the glorious past of Jaipur’s royals and history. Full of pavilions, gardens and halls showcasing a myriad collection of the royals, this is a must while you jot down your Jaipur Itinerary 1 day. It is ideal to spend an hour or two at this sight.

Next on this itinerary is the striking The Hawa Mahal which literally translate to the palace of winds. A honeycomb like structure, you will notice how this structure bears resemblance to Lord Vishnu’s crown too. The existence of this monument has a very interesting fact to it. It was essentially constructed for the royal women, who could not get outside the palace to enjoy the happenings of the streets. So, the women came to the Hwa Mahal, to enjoy sights of the streets, as cool breeze from the intricate lattice work flew in. Visitors who tend to get claustrophobic, must avoid this place, as the structure is quite congested. If you wish to skip this, you can make a quick visit to another popular attraction of Jaipur, the Jantar Mantar, that lies at a close distance from this sight.



Nearing your end of 1 day in Jaipur, you can then head outside the town area to visit the other top attractions of Jaipur, the Amer fort and Jal Mahal. You will exit the city through the very noticeable sight of the City Walls; pink in color this walls are a ubiquitous attraction of Jaipur.

The Amer Fort is one of the highlights of Jaipur, and given its historic importance, a visit here is a must. Not only will its history leave you enlightened, but sweeping views of its location and structure too, will leave you awestruck! A marvel of architecture, the construction of this place is thought-provoking given its intricate details and layout. Its erection began in the 15th century when this place served as the capital of the kingdom. This is a favorite jaunt of visitors from the neighboring cities of Delhi and Agra, given its location on the Delhi-Jaipur highway. You can spend an hour or an hour and a half here, before heading to the beautiful Jal Mahal.



Literally translating to the Water Palace, this spellbinding monument is a beguiling vista of water, temples, mountains and an awe-inspiring gem of architecture places amidst. The view of the Amer Fort from here is one of the most breathtaking views you will get to see in Jaipur.
Concluding your one day in Jaipur, we suggest you watch a mesmerizing sunset at the Surya Mandir or Sun Temple. Its location atop a hill bestows you a brilliant opportunity to watch the city’s outskirts turning golden.

And if it is hard to resist Jaipur, take a halt for the night. There is no dearth of best last minute hotel deals here!
