Today, immerse yourself in the rich heritage of Jaipur, the picturesque capital of Rajasthan, with a sightseeing tour that showcases the city's most iconic landmarks.

Your morning begins with an excursion to the magnificent Amer Fort, located just 11 kilometres from Jaipur. Once the stronghold of the Kachhwaha clan, Amer Fort served as the capital until it was moved to Jaipur. This grand fort, constructed from white marble and red sandstone, stands majestically against the backdrop of the serene Maota Lake. As you approach, the fort’s stunning reflection on the lake creates a breathtaking scene that seems almost like a dream or a beautiful illusion, leaving visitors in awe of its splendour.

After exploring the fort, your tour will take you past the famous Palace of Winds, known as Hawa Mahal. This unique structure was designed to allow royal ladies to observe the processions and daily life on the streets below without being seen. The intricate lattice work and ornate windows of Hawa Mahal make it one of Jaipur's most recognizable and photogenic landmarks.

This day in Jaipur promises to be filled with unforgettable experiences, offering a deep dive into the royal history and architectural brilliance that define this remarkable city. Either spend the rest of the day at leisure or take part in the optional tours for the day.

Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
