Last Friday afternoon, a colleague and I jumped on a short hour long flight from Mumbai, India and headed north to the city of Jaipur for a weekend of exploration and rest. We had heard exciting stories from others about incredible shopping, elephant rides, and a beautiful hotel that was previously a Maharaja’s residence. That is all it took and we were in. Here is a rundown of what we did and some helpful tips to consider if you are planning a visit.
From the start, our itinerary was very precise and focused. On Saturday we wanted to see a few sights, ride an elephant, and end the day with some shopping. As for Sunday, we wanted to relax all day in a beautiful spa before heading to the airport for work on Monday. This made the trip very easy to plan.
