The day will be mainly divided into two parts with the first section being to visit the city centre of Jaipur and the second part being to travel to Amer fort and Jal Mahal. If you are someone who wishes to make most of the day and travel to the top of the palace on the back of an elephant, then you must visit it in the morning because the animals can only cover so many sets of the day.

It is suggested that in the morning you explore the historic centre, often referred to as the famed Pink City. a chaotic mix of sights, sounds, smells, all this can be draining for a tourist who is new to india especially because of the intense heat of the summer. Thankfully, most sites are clustered together in Jaipur, making it easy for people to cover them all without travelling long distances.

The highlights would include the magnificent City Palace which is the home of the Maharaja. The sprawling complex has grand state rooms, sections of museums dedicated to different aspects of royal life, and various decorative gates in accordance with the seasons. There is a lot to see in the palace, and you should expect to spend at least 1-2 hours there.

Hawa Mahal, the multi windowed lattice like facade of City Palace is best viewed from Sireh Deori Bazaar. The palace was built for the royal women to look through the windows to see the daily activities of the bazaar. Another feature these numerous windows had was that they channeled the cooler air to provide a constant breeze in the state rooms. Visiting the exterior of the Hawa Mahal is worth a visit.

Walking between the three main destinations of City Palace, Hawa Mahal, and Jantar Mantar, a tourist should take in the city walls and the ornately decorated city gates. All buildings of the central district are painted in a uniform terracotta pink colour representing power and welcoming.

Jantar Mantar is the third monument that you should visit in the morning, but should only be visited if there is enough time. A series of astronomical instruments used by Mughals to predict time stand out as the world’s largest sundial when the actual movement of the sun can be seen.

One of the most important fortifications in Rajasthan comes from Amer Fort which combines the impenetrable defences along with intricate marble detail. Clinging to the sides of the steep hill, the fort provides commanding views over the entire region while inside are huge rooms and symmetrical gardens. It is the highlight of Jaipur and sufficient time should be spent exploring the monument.

There are many Jaipur local sightseeing packages that you can opt for and take in the city to the fullest all the while spending just 24 hours in the place.
