Excursions
The capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur is well connected by air,
rail and road with India’s capital, New Delhi, which is just
258 kms away. Regular flights and trains also connect it with
Mumbai.
Known as the Gateway to Rajasthan, Jaipur is generally the
starting point for any tourist visiting the state. A part of
India's Golden Triangle of Tourism (Delhi and Agra being the other
two places), the hotels and other facilities are excellent.
The city itself has a lot to offer as you can see from our
travelogue. If you have a few extra days to spare, you could go
for:
- A half-day excursion to Sanganer, famous
for its hand block-printing textile and handmade paper
industries.
- A half-day excursion to Bagru famous for
printing of cotton textiles in earthy colours.
- A half-day excursion to Samode for its fort
and palace with fine mirror work.
- A trip to Sariska Wildlife Sanctuary to see
the majestic tiger.
Not-too-distant places include Ranthambhor,
Bundi, Kota,
Ajmer & Pushkar,
Bharatpur, Alwar, Deeg and the
Shekhavati region.
