4 Days Jaipur Mandawa Tour with Nawalgarh

Arrive in Jaipur, where you will be met and assisted before beginning the drive towards Mandawa in Rajasthan's historic Shekhawati region.

As you leave Jaipur, the landscape gradually changes from the busy capital to rural Rajasthan, with small villages, traditional homes and agricultural countryside along the route.

On arrival in Mandawa, check in at your hotel and take some time to relax. Later, begin exploring the old town on foot. Mandawa developed as an important trading settlement and became known for the richly decorated mansions built by prosperous merchant families.

Walk through narrow streets lined with traditional havelis and observe elaborate frescoes depicting mythology, everyday life, royal processions and scenes influenced by the changing world of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Depending on arrival time, you may also explore Mandawa's local market and heritage lanes before returning to the hotel.

Overnight stay in Mandawa.

After breakfast, continue exploring Mandawa and some of the beautifully decorated havelis for which the Shekhawati region is famous. The painted façades, courtyards and traditional architecture provide a fascinating look at the lifestyle of Rajasthan's historic merchant communities.

Later, drive towards Nawalgarh, another important heritage town in the Shekhawati region. Nawalgarh is particularly well known for its preserved mansions, colourful fresco paintings and traditional market streets.

Explore some of the town's historic havelis and walk through its old quarters to see decorative doorways, courtyards and murals representing both traditional Indian themes and influences introduced during the colonial period.

After the Nawalgarh visit, continue by road to Jaipur. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel and relax.

If time permits, spend the evening exploring one of Jaipur's traditional bazaars, where shops sell textiles, jewellery, handicrafts, block-printed fabrics and other Rajasthani products.

After breakfast, begin a full day of sightseeing in Jaipur, Rajasthan's historic capital and one of the most important destinations on a first journey through northern India.

Start with Amber Fort , located on the hills outside the main city. Explore its gateways, courtyards, audience halls and royal apartments while learning about the Rajput rulers who governed the region before Jaipur was established as the new capital.

On the way back towards central Jaipur, stop for photographs near Jal Mahal, the picturesque palace situated in the middle of Man Sagar Lake.

Continue to the City Palace , an impressive complex of courtyards, museums and royal buildings that remains closely connected to Jaipur's former ruling family.

Nearby, visit Jantar Mantar , the eighteenth-century astronomical observatory containing monumental instruments designed for observing celestial movements and measuring time.

Stop at Jaipur's iconic Hawa Mahal, whose distinctive pink façade and hundreds of small windows have made it one of Rajasthan's most recognised landmarks.

Later, explore Jaipur's old city markets, where traditional shops specialise in jewellery, gemstones, textiles, handicrafts, blue pottery and block-printed fabrics.
