Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, was founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as one of India’s earliest planned cities, laid out on a grid pattern based on principles from the Shilpa Shastra. The old walled city was painted in a terracotta pink in 1876 to welcome the Prince of Wales, and the colour and the nickname have stayed ever since.
Jaipur is home to Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal and the Jantar Mantar observatory, and the walled city itself was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. It forms the Golden Triangle tourist circuit with Delhi and Agra. For intercity bus travel to or from the city, zingbus offers online booking across a range of connected destinations.
Jaipur is well connected by air, rail and road, sitting on one of the main transport corridors between Delhi and western India.
Note: The Delhi to Jaipur stretch on NH 48 and the newer expressway corridor make road travel one of the most practical ways to reach the city.
Jaipur’s landmarks are concentrated around the old walled city and the surrounding hills, and most of them trace back to the Rajput era.
Note: Amber Fort, City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar sit close to each other within and around the walled city, so several can be covered in a day on foot or with short auto rides.
Jaipur’s temples span Vaishnav, Shaiva and Devi traditions, and a few of them sit inside or on hills around the city.
Note: Govind Dev Ji is best visited during aarti times, when the darshan and the temple courtyard are at their most active.
Jaipur’s markets sit inside the walled city and are closely tied to the crafts the region is known for, from gemstones to block prints.
Note: The old city markets are best explored on foot in the evenings, when the light on the pink walls is at its most photogenic.
Jaipur’s food follows the Rajasthani tradition of rich, slow cooked dishes and a strong sweet culture, with a few dishes closely tied to the city.
Note: Ghewar is a seasonal sweet, at its best during the monsoon and festival months when fresh batches are prepared daily.
Jaipur’s cultural calendar is shaped by Rajput traditions, seasonal festivals and a few modern additions that have become part of the city’s identity.
Note: Winter is also the peak tourist season in Jaipur, so festivals and forts see the largest crowds during these months.
