An Early Morning Glimpse of Life In Jaipur

You will be picked up from your hotel in Jaipur at 6 am with your private English speaking guide in an air-conditioned car. It is about a 30 minute drive from the city to Muhana Mandi, a large wholesale vegetable market. In the morning, the market is buzzing with activity as farmers from small villages arrive with their produce.

After that you will visit an interesting fodder market at Sanganer, where farmers come to buy grass for cattle, and local Gwalans (women herders) bring their cows to be fed.

Next, you will stop by the bustling Doodh-Mandi, where milk arrives in traditional cans, and is quickly snapped up by neighbourhood Doodhwallas (milkmen) and confectionery shops.

Finally, arrive back in Jaipur, also known as the Pink City, where you will drive through the sleepy streets to have tea and snacks at a popular local eatery. This is a good time to photograph some of the famous buildings in the city, as it does not have the usual rush of traffic of the early morning.

After a quick look at the flower market, we will visit the last stop on our tour: the Govind Devji Temple. This is Jaipur’s most beloved Temple of Lord Krishna. The group singing and chanting of the morning Aarti (Morning Prayer) is lovely to watch.

After your tour ends, you will be escorted back to your hotel in Jaipur in your air-conditioned vehicle.
