Jaipur is part of India’s classical Golden Triangle route and represents the natural gateway into the gem that is the state of Rajasthan. For sure its sort of fun walking through the chaotic pink city with monkeys jumping everywhere and visiting in particular the magnificent nearby Amber Fort.
But, and I’ve been visited twice now, I would honestly suggest missing it as part of your Rajasthan itinerary. The city itself is super dirty, mega busy and with little in terms of that bright pink city-vibe you’re expecting. The fort is indeed magnificent, but its only at best on par with what you will see in the likes of Jodphur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer that often make up a Rajhastan itinerary.
I’ve listed below which destinations to prioritise. But if you do visit, I’ve added some tips as well.
