Best One Day Trips From Delhi

Delhi to Jaipur Same Day Tour

Duration: 14-16 Hours Private AC Car Cultural Sightseeing

Make the most of your time in India with a same day private tour from Delhi to Jaipur, the famous Pink City of Rajasthan. Travelling by air-conditioned car, you leave the capital in the early morning and spend the day exploring Amber Fort, Jal Mahal, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal and Jaipur’s colourful bazaars before returning to Delhi at night.

The tour is designed for travellers who want to experience Jaipur’s royal forts, palaces and old-city streets in one comfortable day without managing trains, taxis or tickets on their own. A local English-speaking guide in Jaipur can be included or added on request, so you hear the stories behind each monument while your driver focuses on the road.
