    Day three covers local sightseeing in the city of Jaipur with a lady guide. It includes a trip to the magnificent Amber Fort. 800 years old, the complex has many beautiful buildings such as the ‘Diwan-i-Aam’, ‘Sheesh Mahal’ and even has a different palace for different seasons. The fort also houses the much revered Shila Devi Temple and the magnificent Ganesh Pol, the gate leading to the royal palace complexes. The fort also offers elephant rides from the base to fort in morning time and a mesmerizing light and sound show in evening.

    Next stop is the Jaigarh Fort, located on the Cheel ka Tila of the Aravalli range. This battle fort was built by Maharaja Jai Singh in 1726 using red sandstones.

Spiritual Jaipur and places around

Tour starts from Arya Niwas, Jaipur

3 Days / 2 Nights

  • Places Covered

    Jaipur, Ajmer and Pushkar

  • Itinerary

    Day 1:
    Pickup from Jaipur airport / railway station / bus stand, received by Tours2Rajasthan and transfer to hotel. On arrival check in formalities and relax. Visit to the 800 year old, Amber Fort and Shila mata. The story of how the temple came to be is an interesting one. Maharaja started praying to Goddess Kali after his defeat to King Kedar. The goddess appeared in his dreams and asked him to build a shrine in the Amber Fort and asked him to obtain her lost idol from the coastal shores of Jessore (now in Bangaladesh). He went on a search and found a stone slab, brought it back and when the slab was washed properly, an idol of Goddess Kali was seen on it. Hence the name, Shila Devi which means a goddess in the form of stone.
    Next is a drive to Charan Mandir. It is an old temple nestled in the wild forest dedicated to Lord Krishna.
    Eveving at Nahargarh Fort. It means ‘abode of tigers’. A sentinel to the pink city since 1734, it provides stunning views of city that are particularly enjoyed during sunrise and sunset.
    Overnight in Jaipur hotel.

    A suggested add-on is the mesmerizing light and sound show at Amber Fort later in the evening.

    Day 2:
    The day starts with a morning Yoga class at centre hall at Arya Niwas. We head to Ajmer and Pushkar for a day trip after breakfast. Ajmer is approximately 135 kms from Jaipur and takes 2 and ½ hours to reach.

    At Ajmer, we visit the Sufi shrine, one of the holiest places in Ajmer. Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti is a Persian sufi saint who is venerated by followers of all religions. He is believed to be the descendant of Muhammad and is enshrined in the dargah. The shrine was built by the Mughal Emperor Humayun. After namaaz offering, devotional singers recite qawwalis. This practice takes place in the mehfil-e-same inside the dargah.
    After the visit to the dargah, head to the Pushkar through a small mountain pass, a town 15 kms northwest of Ajmer.

    At Pushkar, we see the lake, bazaars and temple dedicated to Lord Brahma (The God of creation), Lord Brahma is one of the holy Trinity in Hindu Religious belief. However, unlike Lord Vishnu and Shiva, there are very few temples where Lord Brahma is worshipped. Pushkar is perhaps the most well-known. Why this is so, is an interesting story from the hoary past. Do find out why!
    Later, proceed to visit the Holy Lake. According to the legend, Lord Bhrama dropped a lotus to the ground which led to the creation of the lake and decided to name the place after the flower. The lake is surrounded by 52 ghats, many religious worship places, and havelis.

    Situated on the Ratnagiri hill is the Savitri Temple dedicated to goddess Savitri, is the last stop for the day. There are two options to reach to the top, one can either take the steps or take the cable car. The bird’s eye view of the city is a marvelous sight to behold. Visit to Savitri temple is optional.
    Return to Jaipur in the evening. Dinner at the hotel or a nearby restaurant at M.I. Road (payable extra). Overnight stay at the hotel.

    Day 3:
    Early morning visit to Govind Dev Ji, a Vaishnava temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. The idol was brought from Vrindavan to Jaipur by SawaI Jai Singh II. It was first placed in Kanak Vrindavan, a place in outskirts of Jaipur. Sawai Jai Singh II earlier used to reside in the Suraj Mahal which falls in between the Chandra Mahal and Badal Mahal. It is said, Lord Krishna appeared in the dream where the Maharaja realized he is occupying a space which belongs to Lord Krishna. He then shifted his residence to Chandra Mahal and in 1735, shifted the idol of Govind Dev Ji to where it resides today. The idol is placed in such a way, that the Maharaja of Jaipur gets a direct view of it.

    City Palace is covered next. It is one of the most important landmarks in Jaipur city. Built by Sawai Jai Singh, the architecture of the palace takes inspiration from Mughal, Rajput and European architectural styles. The collection at the museum at the palace consists of Rajasthani costumes, armory, art gallery with excellent collection of miniature paintings, carpets and rare astronomical works. A notable exhibit is a pair of pure silver jars that are the largest silver vessels in the world.

    Later, a heritage city walk through the lanes of walled city of Jaipur to discover the various temples and havelis. The tour ends after breakfast.

We had such fun with Madhuri, an exceptionally patient and lovely instructor who taught us three really fun dances. Despite the lack of experience we had, we came out of the class laughing and leaving with dance routines to show to our friends and family! Definitely worth it and was for sure a highlight of our trip!

Tanya
