A Walk through Jaipur's Colorful Bazaars

The bazaars of Jaipur are legendary. In 1729, Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II sent letters to famous merchant houses all over India, inviting them to settle in Jaipur. They were given prime locations, free land grants, and concessions on taxes. Located on important trade routes, Jaipur soon became a major center for trade and commerce, housing a large number of artisans, craftsmen and merchants. The city’s bazaars, specializing in jewelry, textiles and crafts, became famous throughout India.

You have the choice of a 11:00 AM or 7:00 PM tour.

Highlights
• Traditional arts and crafts 
• Tasting of light Indian snacks
• Sounds, Smells & Tastes of an old world market 

You will be taken from your hotel in Jaipur by a private air-conditioned car along with your English Speaking Guide and brought to Jaipur’s bazaar.

The itinerary is flexible, designed to suit your pace. We often use a mix of walking and rickshaw rides on this tour. In summer, we recommend you to do this walk in the evening.

The tour will give you the experience of the real Jaipur. Take a stroll with us inside the lanes of the Walled City, where the old ways of life continue uninterrupted. The streets are redolent of spices – turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom and many more. Women haggle over the price of bangles and sarees. The faithful offer prayers in little shrines at roadside corners. Vendors sell sweetmeats and spicy delicacies, the chai stalls do brisk business. Old arts and crafts still flourish in the bazaars.

At the end of your tour, you will be escorted back to your hotel in Jaipur in an air-conditioned vehicle.
