Long weekends are meant for getaways, and last week, with a 3-day holiday on our hands, we decided to head towards the royal city of Jaipur. Known as the Pink City of India, Jaipur is famous for its forts, palaces, vibrant markets, and rich cultural heritage. To make our journey comfortable and fun-filled, our group of 14 people booked an Urbania Tempo Traveller on rent in Delhi from SKTC. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made for this trip.
The Journey Begins
Traveling in a group is always exciting, but it can also get challenging if the vehicle is not comfortable. Thankfully, the Urbania Tempo Traveller provided by SKTC was precisely what we needed – spacious, modern, and ideally suited for a large group.
The pushback seats, air-conditioning, and ample legroom made our long drive from Delhi to Jaipur enjoyable. Everyone had enough space to relax, chat, and even play games during the journey. Our driver was a polite and cooperative person who not only drove safely but also knew the routes well, which made our travel smooth and hassle-free.
Day 1: Arrival in Jaipur & Exploring the City Palace
We reached Jaipur by afternoon and checked into our hotel. After a quick refresh, we started our sightseeing journey with the City Palace, located in the heart of Jaipur. The magnificent blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture left us in awe. Walking through its courtyards, museums, and royal chambers gave us a glimpse of the grandeur of Jaipur’s royal heritage.
In the evening, we took a stroll near the local bazaars. The vibrant shops filled with handicrafts, jewelry, and traditional attire gave us the true essence of Jaipur. Of course, we couldn’t resist indulging in some famous Jaipuri snacks like kachoris and ghewar.
Day 2: Amber Fort & Hawa Mahal
The second day was dedicated to exploring Jaipur’s most iconic landmarks. Our driver took us first to the majestic Amber Fort. The fort, with its stunning architecture and hilltop location, was a sight to behold. We explored Sheesh Mahal, Diwan-e-Aam, and Diwan-e-Khas, and admired the intricate mirror work that made the fort so special.
Next, we visited the Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. Its unique honeycomb structure with 953 small windows was both fascinating and beautiful. Standing in front of this architectural wonder, we couldn’t stop clicking pictures.
Later, we also visited Jal Mahal, the beautiful palace located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake. The view of the palace against the backdrop of the Aravalli Hills was truly mesmerizing.
Day 3: Jantar Mantar & Local Experiences
On our final day in Jaipur, we visited the Jantar Mantar, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The astronomical instruments built centuries ago amazed us with their precision and scientific significance. It was fascinating to see how advanced Indian science and architecture were even during ancient times.
Before leaving Jaipur, we spent some time exploring the local markets. From colorful textiles to handcrafted souvenirs, Jaipur offered plenty of shopping opportunities. We also savored some authentic Rajasthani cuisine – dal bati churma, laal maas, and sweets that added extra flavor to our trip.
Comfort of Traveling with SKTC Urbania Tempo Traveller
Throughout our 3-day trip, the Urbania on rent in Delhi from SKTC played a massive role in making our journey smooth and enjoyable. With 14 people traveling together, it was essential to have a vehicle that provided both comfort and convenience.
The spacious interiors ensured everyone could sit comfortably without feeling cramped. The air-conditioning kept us calm even in the daytime heat of Jaipur. Having one vehicle for the entire group also allowed us to stay together and enjoy every moment – from singing songs on the way to sharing travel stories.
Most importantly, our driver was very cooperative, punctual, and familiar with all the routes, ensuring that we reached every destination on time without any hassles. His friendly attitude added to our comfort and made the journey more relaxed.
Why Choose Jaipur for a Short Getaway?
Jaipur is the perfect destination for a short trip from Delhi. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and architectural marvels, the city offers something for everyone. Whether it’s exploring royal forts, shopping in colorful bazaars, or indulging in authentic Rajasthani food, Jaipur never fails to impress.
For groups, traveling in a Tempo Traveller makes the trip even more enjoyable. Instead of worrying about multiple cabs or getting separated, everyone can travel together, making the journey as memorable as the destination itself.
