If you’re someone who has a keen interest in History, Stories of Bravery, Architecture and want to dig out some historical stories then this is the place for you to visit this Monsoon. 

-Why you should visit Jaipur in the Monsoon?

The best reason is that it is the Off-Season of Jaipur so you’ll get everything at comparatively lower prices. But do you know? Such places never go off-season as many people love to explore history or Forts and Palaces in monsoon only. So, you’ll not be the only person visiting Jaipur this season. It is the capital of Rajasthan and an urban city, so the transportation is very convenient and easily accessible, and even in the rain, you’ll not face inconvenience as you face in any hill station or mountains or any off-beat place.

It is a perfect destination for a family vacation, couple, or even for solo wanderers.

-How to plan itineraries with places you may visit?

Well! You can plan from 1 day to as many days as you want. It completely depends on your budget. I suggest you either plan for a weekend like Sat-Sun. Or any Three days. Basically, 2-3 days are enough to explore Jaipur.
