HOW MANY DAYS SHOULD I SPEND IN JAIPUR ?
If you're planning to visit Jaipur, I'd recommend 3 full days in the city with a guide, to have time to fit in all the sights below. This would be a relatively packed schedule though, as you'd be out all day sightseeing with not too much rest in between. If you're adventuring out on your own and prefer to take things slow, then four days would be a good amount of time.If you're super pressed for time but really absolutely want to visit the city, you could probably do two days however you would either have to be super go-go-go, or look into skipping a few of the sights.
