Jaipur itinerary for 4 days
A 4-day Jaipur trip plan in which each day stays in one part of Jaipur, in route order: Amber, Jaigarh and Nahargarh; The Pink City; Albert Hall to Chokhi Dhani; and Galtaji and Sisodia Rani Garden.
Jaipur is unusually efficient to visit: Amber Fort and Jaigarh sit together to the north, and the City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar are all inside the walled city within walking distance. Two full days covers the essentials; a third adds Nahargarh and the bazaars properly.
