When to go

Jaipur puts its best foot forward between October and March, with sunny days and cool evenings. This period is also when the Rajasthan capital celebrates some of its most colourful and cerebral festivals. From April onwards, the mercury rises steadily, with May and June sweltering through temperatures upwards of 40°C. July and August bring the humid monsoon rains.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Jaipur International Airport (www.aai.aero/allAirports/jaipur) is 10km from the city centre and is also the departure point for domestic destinations. Airlines servicing Jaipur include GoAir (www.goair.in), Jet Airways (www.jetairways.com), Kingfisher Airlines (www.flykingfisher.com), Spice Jet (www.spicejet.com) and Air India (www.airindia.in).

  • Trains

    The Jaipur Railway Station is centrally located and has excellent rail links with the rest of the country. The fastest train between Jaipur and Delhi is the daily Ajmer Shatabdi, which takes just over four hours. Visit: www.indianrail.gov.in for timetables and fares.

  • Automobiles

    Whiz around the old city in a colourful three-wheeler (auto-rickshaw) or explore the lanes at a more leisurely pace by cycle rickshaw. If you're heading further afield, then hire a car with a driver who can dodge Jaipur's bumper-to-bumper traffic. Seek out the services of TWX (+91 11 4379 9700; www.travelworldexperiences.com), who can sort out flights and drivers for jaunts throughout India. Jaipur is 260 kilometres from Delhi but can take up to five or six hours by car.

  • Taxis

    Taxis are inexpensive and plentiful, auto rickshaws even more so. If you want to travel in relative comfort, hail a cab from a hotel, otherwise flag down one of the three-wheelers that roam Jaipur's roads.
