Pink City
Jaipur, the Pink City — a self drive trip from Alwar
Forts, bazaars and food — an easy full-day or overnight trip.
At a glance
Rajasthan’s capital is about three hours from Alwar. Its walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Amer Fort is part of the UNESCO-listed Hill Forts of Rajasthan.
Driving yourself means you can do Amer Fort in the cool of the morning, the old city and bazaars in the afternoon, and Nahargarh for sunset — on your own clock.
What to see
- Amer Fort
- Hawa Mahal & City Palace
- Jantar Mantar
- Johari and Bapu bazaars
- Sunset at Nahargarh
Driving tips
- Most drivers take the Dausa route; the Sariska–Shahpura road is slower but scenic.
- Parking is tight in the old city — park once and walk between sights.
- Reach Amer early to beat the crowds and the heat.
