Historical Walled City Heritage Walk

Walk Through the Royal Legacies of Rajasthan's Capital

Jaipur, famously known as the Pink City, is a masterpiece of 18th-century grid-based urban design, painted in terracotta-pink to welcome the Prince of Wales in 1876. Beneath the royal palaces lie busy artisan quarters, wholesale jewel markets, and astronomical marvels. Our "Pink City's Rich Heritage: Jaipur Walks" tour is a guided architectural and cultural walk through this historic city.

Led by a government-approved local guide, you will study the complex ventilation facade of Hawa Mahal, explore the Chandra Mahal courtyards of the City Palace, and marvel at the giant sundial at Jantar Mantar. We conclude with a vibrant walk through the historic bazaars, enjoying traditional Rajasthani lassi and viewing active gemstone cutters at work.
