What Not To Miss on Your Leisure Visit to Jaipur

The Indian capital is well connected to states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan. And this is why Delhi-ites have plenty of options for quick getaways from the city. Those extended weekends coupled with a fortunate extra leave give enough time to office goers for some rejuvenation at places within a 300 km radius of Delhi.

Some head to hills of Mussoorie, Lansdowne, or Nainital and others go to see the glory of historical monuments in Agra. Although not for the faint-hearted in summer time, the city of Jaipur also attracts its share of tourists from Delhi. While there are direct flights and train service for the Rajasthan capital, road journeys are preferred by people who need flexibility in their schedule.

If you have a trip to Jaipur on your mind, it is recommendable that you start off early in the morning, particularly in summer. This will help you to avoid the sultry weather for at least half of the journey’s duration. Instead of driving your own vehicle, you can opt for Delhi to Jaipur car hire service for more comfort. The entire trip from Delhi- Gurugram border to Jaipur takes about 6 hours including a refreshment break at Behror midway.

Once you reach the Pink City and check into your hotel, unwind for ret of the day or visit the Birla Mandir for the evening Aarti. The temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Laxmi Ji has been constructed with very fine quality of white marble and it looks glorious when it glows in the night. On the outside walls of this temple you will also see figures from other religions including Gautam Buddha, Socrates, Zarathustra, Christ and Confucius.

You can begin your next day with a breakfast of fresh and hot Mirchi Vadas. These are luscious jalapenos dipped in besan and deep fried for a tangy taste. To tone down the spicy flavour, also order some delectable, crispy, sweet jalebis. You may be having buttered toasts and cornflakes for your daily morning meals in Delhi so just a weekend off the ‘healthy’ stuff will not be a bad idea. Indulge yourself.
