Pink City · Private Tour
Same Day Jaipur Tour by Car from Delhi
Tour Overview
Swap the capital for royalty for a day. Our Same Day Jaipur Tour by Car takes you from Delhi to the Pink City of Jaipur — a world of hilltop forts, floating palaces and bazaars bursting with colour — and brings you home the same evening. It’s the easiest, most flexible way to add Rajasthan’s capital to a short India itinerary.
With a private air-conditioned car and an expert local guide, you’ll explore the magnificent Amber Fort, the photogenic Jal Mahal floating on Man Sagar Lake, the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), the fascinating Jantar Mantar observatory and the grand City Palace — the essential highlights of Jaipur in one well-paced day.
Pairing Jaipur with the Taj Mahal? Combine this with our Same Day Agra Tour by Car, or do all three cities properly on a Golden Triangle Tour.

Delhi to Jaipur: Your Journey
Jaipur lies about 261 km south-west of Delhi, a comfortable 4 to 5-hour drive each way along the well-maintained NH-48 highway. We start early so you arrive in time for breakfast and a full day of sightseeing before the evening return.
Your private air-conditioned car and experienced driver make the journey easy — rest, take in the Rajasthan countryside, or stop for chai along the way. Because the day is private, the pace is yours: linger longer at Amber Fort, add an elephant or jeep ride, or build in extra time for shopping in Jaipur’s famous bazaars.
