Jaipur after dark
Jaipur after sunset: Nahargarh as the lights come on, Albert Hall glowing gold, the Amber light show, Chokhi Dhani and a late kulfi in the old city.
Some pictures are illustrations. The real places may look a little different.
The short version
- Best time
- Before sunset
Plan the evening
Start on the ridge at Nahargarh and watch the city switch on below you. Then come down for the lit monuments, a show or a long dinner. Seeing Albert Hall and Hawa Mahal lit up from outside costs nothing.
Or stay in
Dinner on Jaunaar, our rooftop, is served from 8 to 9 PM, with the city lights around you. Then it's quiet, and bed.
