Free Walking Tour of Jaipur
by Ravintours – Explore the Pink City, Pay What You Wish (min. tip ₹500)
Discover the charm, colors, and heritage of the Pink City with our immersive Free Walking Tour of Jaipur, led by passionate local guides who love sharing their city with the world. This unique walking experience begins right in front of the stunning Hawa Mahal, also known as the Palace of Winds. You’ll learn about its fascinating architecture and the stories of royal women who once observed the city from behind its ornate jharokhas.
We then walk toward the peaceful and hidden Kalki Temple, a sacred site that most tourists miss. This small but powerful temple is dedicated to the future avatar of Lord Vishnu and carries deep spiritual meaning. Next, we step into the vibrant atmosphere of Jaipur’s flower market, where heaps of marigolds, roses, and jasmine are sold each morning for temples and weddings. This stop is a sensory delight — perfect for candid photos and cultural storytelling.
From there, we visit the holy Govind Dev Ji Temple, nestled within the City Palace complex. This is one of Jaipur’s most revered Krishna temples, and if timing allows, you’ll witness the enchanting aarti ceremony with traditional music, bells, and chants — an unforgettable moment of devotion. As we continue past the elegant City Palace, your guide will share fascinating tales of Jaipur’s royal dynasty and their influence on the city’s art, architecture, and astrology.
We also pause outside Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical observatory where time was once measured with giant stone instruments. Your guide will explain its significance and recommend how you can explore the inside later on your own.
The tour ends with a stroll through the colorful Bapu Bazaar and Johari Bazaar, where you’ll experience Jaipur’s local markets firsthand — full of block-printed textiles, silver jewelry, mojari shoes, and more. We’ll also stop for a quick chai or local snack if the group is interested. Throughout the walk, your guide will offer real insights, photo tips, and help you avoid tourist traps — making this not just a tour, but a deeper connection to the city.
