In reply to Margaret.

Hey it’s impossible to say about trusting the situation – you need to make sure it’s a reputable company. I haven’t heard of them. But Jaipur is a big city, so it won’t be THAT different from Delhi, maybe look into Udaipur?

Hi Rachel, I’m a solo female traveler and I am headed to Delhi. I just came across a day trip from Pacific Classic Tours to Jaipur from Delhi by car with a driver and guide. I have tried to do my research on this but I can’t quite tell if it is worth the 5 hours each direction to see Jaipur. What do you think?

Also as a solo female would you trust a situation like this? A majority of the day will be light and in populated areas however the drive back will definitely be dark.

Thanks in advance.

In reply to Manish. Yes, it's absolutely somewhere I need to revisit as that visit was when I was so new to India!

In reply to tinaostrowski. Hey! I have only been to Jodhpur, Jaipur, Pushkar, Udaipur, and Jaisalmer in Rajasthan which are all easily accesible like 5-6 hours bus between them if you go in a route. but as for day trips outside Jaipur, I don't know :(

Hey Rachel! First of all love your blog! My friends & I are headed to Jaipur in a few weeks. Our Indian friend’s relatives said that the cities outside of Jaipur are cool to see if you hire a car etc. I read online that Bhangarh and Abhaneri are cool, but was wondering if you had any recommendations? Thanks!

Hello Rachel , Do you know about any place for Hippie parties in Pushkar? Or any hotels who arrange this kind of programme.

In reply to Agness. Thanks girl :) These ones were pretty into playing with each other, although in the mountains the monkeys were way more wild and would steal. There is a Hindu god, Hanuman and he's the "monkey god" so the monkeys flock to his statues and temples... the locals will take sticks to protect themselves while visiting!

Great guide! So informative, as always. I didn’t know Jaipur is called the pink city! I love the snapshots of monkeys. The ones we came across in Bali were crazy and aggressive, how about the Indian ones? Are they friendly?

In reply to Tom @ Waegook Tom. I think you will be sorely disappointed by the maharajahs these days, big old bumps on a log they are! The sword-wielding men seem to be in hiding as well lol. Maybe I was staying in too crappy of places to meet these high born men! lol

Well, I know which guesthouse NOT to stay in, when I finally make it to Jaipur (whenever that might be!) Paying for hot water but not being allowed to use it, plus burning cow poo and a yelling owner…yeap, that’s a no for me haha!

Anyway, Jaipur is high on my list of places to visit in India, along with Udaipur. I love the fact that the city is pink, and the whole Rajasthan region is the first thing I think of when India comes to my mind. Maharajahs and moghuls and handsome, sword-wielding men on horseback…

Rajasthan is so amazing! I did a roadtrip there last year and we ended up all the way into the Thar desert, so cool! :D

Nooo! That must have been so awful. :( Delhi isn’t / wasn’t my favourite place. Udaipur is more my thing LOL!

In reply to Victoria. Yikes, I would be so annoyed about what happened to you in Delhi. I had a fairly rough time in Delhi too as it was where I acquired Dengue!
