Overview
This is not a regular monuments tour. It is a chance to discover Jaipur through the eyes of a local friend. We wander through the streets and back lanes, meet local people, discover everyday life and talk about the culture, religion, caste and traditions that have shaped the city over the past 300 years. The experience combines relaxed walks through old neighbourhoods with drives past beautiful heritage buildings and visits to places like the Royal Gaitor, the royal cenotaphs of Jaipur. And, of course, we end with the mesmerising sunset at the Monkey Temple, where the city reveals a different kind of magic.
Think of it as spending time with a local friend who loves his city and wants to share its stories, its people and its everyday life with you.
I bet that by the end of our time together, you will have a little bit of Jaipur in your heart — and perhaps feel that you have made a local friend along the way.

What to expect
Johri Bazaar
3h
Begin your journey into magical Jaipur with “Once Upon a Time in Jaipur,” a storytelling walk through the hidden lanes of the Pink City. Discover colourful bazaars, old havelis, fascinating local characters, traditional shops and stories that most visitors walk straight past. Observe everyday life, meet local people where possible, and uncover the history, customs and secrets woven into Jaipur's streets. This is not a rushed sightseeing stop, but an invitation to experience the city's living heritage at a relaxed pace.
1h
Step into the world of Jaipur's traditional lac bangle makers, where a beautiful craft has been passed down through generations. Watch the artisan shape and create these colourful bangles by hand, learn about the family's craft, and, if you wish, have a pair made in your favourite colour. Discover a living tradition in a small local workshop, away from the usual tourist trail.
Royal Gaitor Tumbas
1h · Admission ticket included
Escape the bustle of the Pink City and discover Royal Gaitor, the peaceful royal cenotaphs of Jaipur's former rulers. Set beneath the Nahargarh Hills, this hidden gem is known for its intricately carved marble pavilions, delicate stonework and beautiful courtyards. Take your time to admire the craftsmanship, hear stories of Jaipur's royal past and enjoy a quieter side of magical Jaipur, away from the usual crowds.
2h
Now enjoy magical Jaipur at your own pace. You may choose to pause for a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant, or explore the city's beautiful textile, jewellery and lifestyle boutiques, discovering the colours, craftsmanship and design that make Jaipur so special. I can suggest places to suit your interests, whether you are looking for traditional block prints, handmade treasures or contemporary design. This is your time to enjoy the Pink City without rushing. Lunch and personal purchases are at your own expense.
Monkey Temple
1h
End your day with a magical escape into the Aravalli hills at Galta Ji, Jaipur’s famous Monkey Temple. Explore its beautiful temples, ancient water tanks and peaceful surroundings, where resident monkeys roam among the historic sandstone structures.
Then make your way to the hilltop Sun Temple (Surya Mandir), a hidden gem offering mesmerising panoramic views across Jaipur. As the sun begins to set, watch the city glow in the changing evening light—a memorable finale to your journey through the hidden lanes, stories and living traditions of Jaipur.
**Please note:** Reaching the Sun Temple viewpoint involves an uphill walk. Sunset visibility depends on weather and seasonal timings. Keep food and loose belongings secured around the monkeys.
