Itinerary
The driver can pick up guests from any location or airport in Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad. The duration of the ride is 4 hours. (For the train tour, the pick-up time is 5 AM & Arrival at Jaipur is 10 AM.)
Arrive in Jaipur and meet your guide. The first stop will be the principal tourist attractions of Jaipur, starting with the Jaigarh Fort. Built in 1726 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, this fort was constructed to protect the Amber Fort and is famous for housing the Jaivana Cannon, the world's largest wheeled cannon.
Next, you will visit Hawa Mahal, a stunning palace constructed in 1799 for the royal ladies. Made beautifully with red and pink sandstone, it sits at the edge of the City Palace.
Take a break and savor the flavors of city's delicious local cuisine. Your guide will recommend the restaurants where you can enjoy an authentic dining experience.
The guide will then show you the City Palace of Jaipur. Here, you can explore the beautifully patterned gardens and the architecture of the building located at the center of Jaipur. Initially the seat of the Maharaja of Jaipur, some parts of the palace are now reserved for a museum.
Next, you will visit the Jal Mahal, also known as the Water Palace. Situated in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake, it is built in Rajput style architecture. This 17th-century architectural beauty is the perfect spot for peace lovers.
At the end of your tour, you will visit the Jantar Mantar observatory, which houses the most significant and best-preserved set of fixed monumental instruments built in India in the first half of the 18th century.
After visiting all these wonderful sites, begin your return journey back to your desired location in Delhi by private car. If you opt for the train tour, the driver will drop you at the Jaipur Station at 6 PM. Around 11 PM, another driver will be waiting at the Delhi Station to take you back to your hotel.

Traveler reviews
Too long for a daytrip especially in the summer
The City Palace was the highlight but I would NOT recommend doing Delhi-Jaipur as a daytrip especially in the summer. It ended up being an 18-hour day from the time I left the hotel in the morning and was dropped off at night. Instead I suggest they offer an overnight stay option. Ideally you would travel to Jaipur (either by train or car) in the afternoon/evening, stay overnight, see the sights in the morning when it’s cooler and head back to Delhi in the afternoon/evening. Also very important that you carry your water with you at all times when you’re out walking in the hot sun. They may tell you “Oh you can leave your stuff in the car” but you need to carry water with you at all times to avoid dehydration. Also be very assertive if you need to go back to the car or end a segment early due to the heat. For example the fort is a lot of outside walking and they should give you the option to cut some of it out if it’s too hot but they don’t do that.
Unforgettable experience!
The day trip to Jaipur by train was an unforgettable experience. Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. The guide (Irfan Ali) was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. The drivers (Ram Singh & Manoj) also delivered high-quality service, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free journey. I highly recommend this tour.
Jaipur day trip by train
The train toilets were not as bad as feared and the lunch restaurant was good. Our tour guide Brajesh and ram made sure we were constantly with cold water and made our day with all their information and expert driving through the traffic, tuk tuks AND ELEPHANTS. Jaipur was as outstanding and interesting as we had hoped.
Great time!
Brijesh was very professional and knowledgeable on the local sites. The dish he recommended for lunch was superb. Things ran very smoothly throughout the day
