Suggestions
- Keep Hoodie - When travelling in Winters, it gets cold while returning from outskirts of Jaipur at night.
- Stay - I stayed at airbnb. It’s located at a very convenient place to expore the city. To save on airbnb taxes, you can get owner’s contact from me.
- Commute - Rent scooty from: Royal Brothers/ Onn Bike/ Joy Rides (check the one nearest to your stay). Avoid cabs as it gets crowded around the old city.
This itinerary is ideal because:
- Minimal Commute Time: It groups nearby attractions together for efficient exploration.
- Tried and Tested: I personally followed this plan and refined it based on my experience.
- Optimal Timing for Views: Each place is scheduled to align with its key attractions. For instance, Nahargarh Fort offers the best experience during the day, so it’s planned for the morning, while Chokhi Dhani shines in the evening, making it a perfect way to end the day.
