After 5am pickup at your hotel in New Delhi or the wider National Capital Region (NCR), transfer to New Delhi railway station where you will board the 6am super-fast, deluxe Shatabdi Express train to the ‘Pink City’ of Jaipur. (Breakfast will be served on board and you will enjoy the countryside views on the way to Jaipur)

On arrival at Jaipur railway station at 10:30am, you will be met by your representative and driver holding a sign with your name on it at the main exit gate. Then, board your private, air-conditioned vehicle and transfer to your hotel in the city. At 1pm enjoy a buffet lunch at an air-conditioned restaurant.

We visit the City Palace in the heart of the old city, a royal residence of the erstwhile King of Jaipur. Built in a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal styles, the palace is a vision of carved arches and intricately crafted columns.

we continue to Jaipur’s 18th-century observatory: the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jantar Mantar. Explore the astronomical instruments that make up this outdoor complex: the most significant, comprehensive, and best-preserved of India's historical observatories.

At about 4pm scout out a variety of goods during a shopping tour in Jaipur. Peruse and perhaps buy (own expense) some of the most popular items, such as precious gemstones, silver jewelry, bangles, clothing, blue pottery, textiles, and much more.
