Jaipur Tourism

There is an annual literary festival, Jaipur Literature Festival, which happens around Jan and Feb every year. Described as the ‘greatest literary show on Earth’, the JLF is the world’s largest free event of its kind. It is a must to go for if in Jaipur around that time.

A composite ticket will cover your entrance fees for five of Jaipur’s major monuments: Jantar Mantar, Albert Hall (Central Museum), Hawa Mahal, Amber Fort and Nahargarh Fort. The ticket costs Rs 50 for Indian citizens, Rs 1,000 for foreigners and Rs 30 for Indian students and is valid for two days. This ticket is available at the booking counter of all of the five venues.

Autos are the most viable mode of transport except for when it gets too hot. Cabs also are very easily available. The city bus, a new addition for the tourists is a hop-on-hop-off service which is quite efficient. Though normal bus service is also available, we wouldn't recommend it for the tourists. Also, the Jaipur metro is soon supposed to start, which will make transportation extremely efficient.Autos are the most viable mode of transport except for when it gets too hot.

The best season to visit Jaipur is during the winter months, from early November to February and this is the height of the tourist season. Since the weather is pleasant during these months, that allows one to explore more of this place without getting scorched in the seething heat.
