Plan Your Perfect Jaipur Trip

The best time to visit Jaipur is from October to March when the weather is pleasant with temperatures between 15-25°C. Avoid the summer months (April-June) when temperatures can exceed 45°C. The monsoon season (July-September) brings occasional rain but fewer crowds.

For a comprehensive Jaipur experience, 2-3 days is ideal. This allows you to cover the main attractions like Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal, and explore local markets. If you're short on time, the key highlights can be covered in 1 day. For a relaxed trip with day trips to nearby places, consider 4-5 days.

Jaipur is generally safe for tourists, including solo travelers and women. Like any tourist destination, use common sense precautions: avoid isolated areas at night, use registered taxis, and dress modestly. The tourist police are helpful, and most locals are welcoming to visitors.

The best options are: 1) Hire a private car/driver for the day (₹1500-2000), ideal for covering multiple attractions. 2) Auto-rickshaws for short distances (use meter or negotiate). 3) Ola/Uber are reliable and affordable. 4) Pink City Hop-On-Hop-Off bus for main attractions.

Wear modest, comfortable clothing. For women, avoid sleeveless tops and short skirts at religious sites. Light cotton clothes work best due to the heat. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for forts with many steps. Carry a scarf/dupatta for temple visits.
