Same DayJaipur Tour

Explore the Pink City in a day with our same day Jaipur tour from Delhi, one of the most popular heritage day trips in North India. The 280 km drive via NH48 (Delhi-Jaipur Expressway) takes you from the national capital to the heart of Rajasthan, where centuries of Rajput royal heritage, grand forts, and vibrant bazaars await you. Triveni Cabs has operated this Delhi to Jaipur route for over 8 years, with thousands of satisfied customers and a 4.9-star Google rating that speaks to our commitment to quality.

The journey begins with an early morning pickup at 4:00-5:00 AM from any Delhi location -- hotels in Paharganj, Karol Bagh, Connaught Place, South Delhi, or directly from Delhi IGI Airport. The Delhi-Jaipur highway (NH48) is one of India's best-maintained national highways, featuring a smooth 6-lane road for most of the stretch. You pass through Manesar (35 km), Dharuhera (55 km), Neemrana (120 km -- home to the famous Neemrana Fort), Behror, and Shahpura before entering the Pink City. Our drivers make one strategic stop around Behror for fresh chai and breakfast at one of the highway's popular dhabas, where hot kachoris and samosas are a morning tradition.

Your Jaipur sightseeing begins with Amber Fort (also spelled Amer Fort), the most magnificent of Jaipur's hilltop fortifications. Located 11 km from the city center, this 16th-century fort built by Raja Man Singh I is a stunning blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Inside, you will find the breathtaking Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors), the ornate Ganesh Pol gateway, the Sukh Niwas with its ingenious air-conditioning system using water channels, and panoramic views of Maota Lake below. An optional elephant ride up the fort's cobblestone path is available (booked separately) though many visitors now prefer walking or taking a jeep ride.

From Amber Fort, a brief photo stop at Jal Mahal (Water Palace) en route to the city center captures one of Jaipur's most iconic images -- the five-storied palace sitting serenely in the middle of Man Sagar Lake, with the Aravalli hills as a backdrop. While visitors cannot enter the palace itself, the lakeside promenade and the surrounding Nahargarh hills make for spectacular photographs, especially when the palace is reflected in the still water.

In Jaipur's old city, you visit the legendary Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), whose stunning pink sandstone facade features 953 small windows (jharokhas) designed to allow royal women to observe street life without being seen. Just steps away is the City Palace, still partly occupied by the Jaipur royal family. The palace complex houses a museum with an extraordinary collection of royal garments, armory, paintings, and manuscripts. Adjacent to the City Palace stands Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage astronomical observatory built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1734, featuring the world's largest stone sundial (Samrat Yantra) and 18 other astronomical instruments of remarkable precision.

Lunch is an experience in itself -- Jaipur's Rajasthani cuisine is legendary. We recommend trying the famous Dal Baati Churma, Laal Maas (spicy red meat curry), Ghevar (layered sweet), and Pyaaz Kachori at local favorites like LMB (Laxmi Mishthan Bhandar) on Johari Bazaar or the rooftop restaurants around Hawa Mahal. If time permits, a quick walk through Johari Bazaar (famous for Jaipur's gemstones and jewelry) or Bapu Bazaar (textiles, handicrafts, and juttis) adds a shopping dimension to your cultural tour.

For those with extra time, an optional drive up to Nahargarh Fort offers the most spectacular panoramic views of Jaipur city, especially breathtaking at sunset. The fort, built in 1734 along the Aravalli ridge above the city, provides a bird's-eye view of the entire Pink City laid out below, including Jal Mahal, the walled old city, and the modern suburbs beyond.
