A Solo Travel Guide to Jaipur, India
A Solo Travel Guide to Jaipur, India
Jaipur, also known as the Pink City of India, is famous for its orange-pink attractions. One can explore the city's sights by bus or taxi.
Travel tips: Uber is the most convenient way to travel in India. It's easy to get ripped off offline, so Uber's prices are uniform. You can pay directly by linking your card.
Sightseeing arrangement: In the morning, you can take a taxi to Amber Fort, the site of the ancient city of Jaipur. Built against the mountain, it is scattered with numerous palace ruins. It was built in 1592, and from Amber Mountain, you can overlook the entire city of Jaipur. The ticket price is about 40 yuan.
The second stop is back in the city to see the famous Palace of the Winds in Jaipur. The best way to appreciate it is to climb to the roof of the house opposite. There are many rooftop tea shops and cafes, and for about 4 yuan, you can overlook the Palace of the Winds.
In the afternoon, you can stroll around the old city. The Jantar Mantar Observatory is the best-preserved observatory in India, with a large number of astronomical instruments. The ticket price is about 10 yuan.
Next, I must recommend going to experience Jaipur's largest cinema, which is also the largest cinema in India. With its pink tone, retro curtains, and exotic atmosphere, the huge studio can accommodate thousands of people watching movies at the same time, providing a great experience.
Accommodation in India is generally expensive. For solo travelers, I recommend hostels, which cost about 80 yuan.
Food: Traditional Indian food is curry and roti bread, masala and naan, and masala tea. There's also biryani, which I really like. The average cost is about 12 yuan.
