This plan comes from Force Urbania Rental, which runs chauffeur-driven group trips in India. The drive from Delhi to Jaipur is about 280 km and takes five to six hours. It is easy to do, but a little planning turns it from a long transfer into a good start to your trip.
1When to leave
Leave Delhi by 7 or 8 am to avoid heavy traffic around Gurugram and to reach Jaipur in the afternoon. In summer, an early start also means you drive through the hottest hours in an air-conditioned vehicle and not on the road.
2Where to stop
- Manesar or Behror for breakfast and a rest break
- Shahpura or Kotputli for a stretch before the Jaipur approach
- Keep a longer lunch stop for after you check in, not on the highway
3Plan two days, not one
Amber Fort, the City Palace and the old bazaars are better enjoyed over two days. Spend the first afternoon on the markets and the second morning on Amber Fort before the crowds arrive.
