2 Days in Jaipur for a Nature Getaway
Jaipur might be famous for its palaces and forts, but it also has some surprisingly peaceful green spaces that offer a break from the city's hustle. I've spent many mornings walking through these spots, watching peacocks strut around and listening to birds chirp in the trees. This itinerary helps you discover Jaipur's quieter, greener side while still giving you a taste of its royal charm.

Day 2
Day 2 in Jaipur
A mix of nature, history, and local flavors, exploring Jaipur’s green spaces and vibrant markets.
Activities
Morning at Jhalana Leopard Safari
Start your day with an early morning safari at Jhalana Leopard Reserve, just a short drive from the city center. This compact forest is home to leopards, hyenas, and a variety of birds. The best time to spot wildlife is at dawn when the animals are most active. The thrill of seeing a leopard in the wild is unmatched, and the rocky terrain adds to the adventure.
- Book your safari in advance, especially during peak season.
- Carry binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens.
Relax at Sisodia Rani Garden
After the safari, head to Sisodia Rani Garden, a serene retreat built for a queen. The terraced gardens, fountains, and painted pavilions make it a perfect spot to unwind. The murals depicting Radha-Krishna stories add a cultural touch. It’s less crowded than other attractions, so you can enjoy a peaceful stroll.
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the terraces.
- The garden is especially beautiful during the monsoon when the foliage is lush.
Evening at Johari Bazaar & Laxmi Misthan Bhandar
Spend your evening exploring Johari Bazaar, Jaipur’s famous jewelry market. Even if you’re not buying, the glittering displays are a sight. Then, head to Laxmi Misthan Bhandar (LMB), a legendary sweet shop and restaurant. Try their iconic pyaaz kachori (onion-stuffed pastry) and finish with a creamy gulab jamun.
- Bargain politely in Johari Bazaar—prices are often inflated for tourists.
- LMB gets busy; go early to avoid the dinner rush.
