We have taken our 2 days Jaipur trip in the weekend. Though Delhi to Jaipur is not far away and one could easily finish their trip in a day but we decided to make our trip bit relaxed. As December is a peak month for Jaipur we decided not to take chances and book hotel earlier. After going through some sites finally I made bookings for Jaipur Inn hotel from TravelGuru. Though my previous experience with Travelguru was not good but this time it was great. Not only they refunded 25% of the room rent but during and after the trip they also enquired whether everything was ok or not.
We have booked a cab from Noida to Jaipur for 5/- per Km. We reached Jaipur at 10.30 pm. Next day we visited places like City palace, Amer fort, Amer Palace, Jaigarh fort, Jantar mantar in the day time. After taking some rest in the afternoon we visited Chowkidhani. Chowkidhani is located in the outskirts of Jaipur and it was really a cool experience. We enjoyed a lot there. Chowkidhani was built by Rajasthan tourism. This place is all about Rajasthan and its culture. Entry fees is Rs 275/- for Adult. Inside Chowkidhani there are many games, folk dance, various animal rides, magic shows, puppet shows. They have created village like environment inside Chowkidhani which is different experience for people staying in urban or city life.
Regarding the food it is free. Though one should eat in control in Chowkidhani as most of the food item is prepared with lot of Ghee(Oil) and spices. So if you are not habituated to eat those kind of food then eat less. We spent around 3 hours there and came back at 10 pm to our hotel. As a whole our trip was good in terms of hotel stay(Jaipur Inn) and the places we have visited in Jaipur. I would recommend Jaipur Inn hotel just make sure u get a good deal for delux room.
