About Jaipur
Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan, India, is home to around 4 million residents as of 2023. Known as the "Pink City" due to its distinctive pink-colored buildings, Jaipur is a treasure trove of royal history, vibrant culture, and stunning architecture.
Jaipur experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers, a monsoon season, and mild winters. The best time to visit Jaipur is from October to March when the weather is cooler and more comfortable for exploring the city's many historical sites and enjoying outdoor activities.
The city is served by the Jaipur International Airport, located about 13 kilometers from the city center. Major airlines like Emirates, Etihad Airways, Air India, and Flydubai operate connected flights from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to Jaipur, making it accessible for travelers from the UAE.
Jaipur’s culinary scene offers a rich tapestry of traditional Rajasthani dishes and international cuisines. The city is famed for its spicy curries, daal baati churma, and sweets like ghevar and mawa kachori. Street food enthusiasts will delight in the variety of snacks available, including samosas, kachoris, and chaats.
Tourists in Jaipur can immerse themselves in the city's royal heritage by visiting iconic landmarks such as the Amer Fort, City Palace, and Hawa Mahal. The Jantar Mantar observatory, a UNESCO World Heritage site, showcases the city’s historical contributions to astronomy. The bustling bazaars of Jaipur, including Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar, are perfect for shopping for traditional Rajasthani textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Jaipur offers scenic spots like the Jal Mahal, set amidst the Man Sagar Lake, and Nahargarh Fort, which provides panoramic views of the city. The city’s many gardens, such as the Ram Niwas Garden and Sisodia Rani Garden, offer green spaces for relaxation and leisure.
UAE nationals who have previously obtained an e-visa or a regular paper visa for India are eligible for a Visa-on-Arrival when they visit India again. However, this facility is not available to those visiting India for the first time, who must instead apply for an e-visa or a regular visa. To obtain a Visa-on-Arrival, eligible UAE nationals need to fill out an application form (Annexure I), which can be downloaded and completed in advance or filled out upon arrival in India.
