Detailed Itinerary

Note: This is the sample itinerary and will be customized as per your preference, If you are willing to make any changes in the below plan fill out the form and an Expert from our team will reach out to you shortly

AIRPORT PICKUP:
An English-speaking chauffeur will be waiting for you at the airport exit, holding a sign with your name for your pickup from the airport. He will then drive you to begin your Jaipur sightseeing tour with elephant ride.

HOTEL PICKUP:

If you're being picked up from a hotel in Jaipur, your chauffeur will give you a quick call upon arrival. After that, he will come get you and take you to begin your Jaipur elephant ride tour.

The Chauffeur and the Tour Guide will pick you up from your chosen location and begin your exciting Jaipur Sightseeing Tour.

HAWA MAHAL:

Start your Jaipur sightseeing with a 15-minute stop at the Hawa Mahal — the most famous photo stop in Jaipur. Hawa Mahal was built so royal women could observe life and processions on the street without being seen.

AMBER FORT WITH ELEPHANT RIDE:

The highlight of your Jaipur tour. Set dramatically on the Aravalli hills, Amber Fort is a magnificent 16th-century fortress built in Rajput and Mughal architecture. Begin your Amber Fort experience the royal way — riding a decorated elephant up the cobblestone path to the main gate, just as maharajas and their guests did for centuries.

Once inside, explore the stunning Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors), the grand Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas courtyards, and the intricately carved Ganesh Pol gateway. The fort offers beautiful views over Maota Lake and a vivid glimpse into Jaipur's royal past.

About the Elephant Ride: Trained elephants carry visitors up the main ramp to the fort's entrance in a traditional howdah (seat). The ride takes approximately 10–15 minutes each way. If you prefer not to ride, a jeep ride up to the gate is available as an alternative — both options are included in your tour.

PANNA MEENA KUND:

Just minutes from Amber Fort, Panna Meena Kund is one of Jaipur's most beautiful and least-crowded hidden gems. This perfectly symmetrical 16th-century stepwell features criss-cross staircases descending to the water on all four sides — one of the most photogenic spots in all of Rajasthan.

ART & CRAFT EXPERIENCE IN JAIPUR

GEM STONE CUTTING & POLISHING WORKSHOP: Jaipur is known worldwide for gemstones. This workshop provides an up-close view of the art of cutting and polishing stones. Watch skilled artisans change raw gems into brilliant pieces. They use techniques that have been passed down through generations.

RUG WEAVING DEMONSTRATION: Discover the traditional art of rug weaving. Skilled artisans create intricate patterns using handloom techniques that have stood the test of time. Each rug reflects patience, craftsmanship, and Rajasthan's rich textile heritage.

BLOCK PRINTING DEMO: Discover the traditional art of block printing. In this craft, hand-carved wooden blocks and natural dyes come together to create detailed textile patterns. Enjoy a 15-minute hands-on session to try it for yourself. You can also choose to upgrade to a 1-hour workshop for more in-depth learning and creativity.

LAC BANGLE MAKING DEMO: Experience the making of traditional lac bangle in Jaipur. It is an ancient craft where artisans shape natural tree resin (lac) over flames, decorate them with mirrors, beads, and colors, offering vibrant, handcrafted bangles.

JAL MAHAL:

Jal Mahal is a stunning palace that looks like it floats on Man Sagar Lake. This creates one of Jaipur's most famous views. Built in Rajput style, it is best viewed from the lakeside for its symmetry, reflection, and peaceful surroundings.

CITY PALACE JAIPUR

City Palace is a large royal complex that highlights Jaipur’s rich heritage with its courtyards, museums, and palace architecture. It provides a view of the lifestyle, art, and history of Jaipur’s royal family.

JANTAR MANTAR

Jantar Mantar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has impressive astronomical instruments designed to measure time and track movements of celestial bodies. It shows India's scientific knowledge and architectural skill from the past.

JAIPUR MARKETS WALK:

Explore the lively bazaars of Jaipur on a guided market walk through the old city. Discover colorful textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts. Experience local life while learning about traditional crafts and genuine shopping places.

Is the elephant ride at Amber Fort safe?

Yes, the elephants at Amber Fort are trained and well cared for, and the ride is supervised at all times. The route is a well-worn cobblestone path that the elephants walk daily. Children and adults of all ages can participate. If you have any concerns, a jeep ride to the top is available as a comfortable alternative.

Is the elephant ride included in the tour price?

Yes, the elephant ride up to Amber Fort's main gate is included in your Hii Stories tour package. No hidden charges. If you prefer the jeep ride instead, that is also covered at no extra cost.

What is the best time to do the elephant ride at Amber Fort?

The elephant ride operates from approximately 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM daily. Our tour is timed to reach Amber Fort within this window. Arriving early also means cooler temperatures and fewer crowds inside the fort — ideal for photos.

Can I skip the elephant ride if I change my mind?

Absolutely. This is a private tour and fully flexible. If you decide on the day that you'd prefer the jeep ride, simply let your guide know — no problem at all.

Is Amber Fort worth visiting in Jaipur?

Amber Fort is one of the top-rated monuments in India and the highlight of any Jaipur tour. Its Sheesh Mahal alone — a chamber where a single candle creates thousands of reflections — is worth the visit. Combined with the elephant ride and panoramic views over Maota Lake, it is an unmissable experience.
