Transportation Tips

It is the best and cheaper way to visit the Jaipur Local Sights by RTDC (Rajasthan Tourism Dept.
The Jaipur Metro provides a fast, reliable and inexpensive way to get around the city.
Autorickshaws (tuk-tuks) are probably the best way to reach places in the outskirts of Jaipur such as Amber Fort or Galtaji, where getting a taxi or Uber/Ola to go back to the city may be tricky.
Hiring an autorickshaw for a whole day to go to Amber Fort, Tiger Fort, Jal Mahal, and other areas costs anywhere between ₹450 to ₹550 (as of 2018).
