Here we have some tips for you. ● Taking a wise decision about transport. Traveling to Jaipur is not difficult as you have all kinds of transport options available be it air and land. You can hire a car but in that case the journey must not exceed more than 500km. Discomforts like nausea or dehydration are common so avoid car if the distance is too long. It is very important that you are fit while traveling. Traveling by air is definitely very comfortable but it takes up a huge part of your budget. We recommend you not to opt for it while you are on low budget as you have to make procurement other than transportation i.e food, lodging, shopping etc. Considering your budget constraint and your health it is most suitable to travel by train. If you are traveling in a group or within your family, train journeys can turn out to be one of the best experiences of your life. You enjoy and save as well. Therefore get set for your vacation by reserving your seats as early as possible. ● Accommodation needs special attention. At the end of the hectic travelling and touring of heritage sites and emperors of Maharajas all you want is a cozy bed to fall asleep. Nobody would like to get back to a shabby room and brood about bad hospitality. Generally you might opt for hotels but considering your budget constraints you will hardly be able to find any such hotel up to the mark. Expenses on accommodation are indispensable so make sure that it is worth the amount you pay. Accommodation is another major expense that dominates your budget and it is wiser to curtail it as much as possible. We recommend you to opt for homestay. They are not only cheap but also provide far better facilities than what you get by paying more at hotels. Hosts of the homestays are super friendly and are always willing to help. Another advantage of homestay is that they provide home-cooked local food so you save on fooding too. You will be able to find many tempting homestays at important locations around the city. These hosts have recently helped in rediscovering the charm of this city by providing important information to the tourists about the city. ● Save on sightseeing! It is always wiser to go for car pooling when you decide to go for sightseeing in Jaipur. There are also a lot of other fancy rides to attract tourist's attention like horse-carts, elephant rides, pulleys etc

2. but it is advisable to avoid such things when you are running out of money. Pooling a car instead will not only save you a fortune but will also give you an opportunity to meet different people and make new friends. Download the Ola application on your android phones. This application enables you to book a cab at any time and at any place without much effort. It is convenient, cheap and simple. Local cabs generally tend to hike their prices when they see tourists, start manipulating you and it may happen that you get convinced and agreed to pay that high price. ● Be careful while you are shopping. When in Jaipur you have to be very careful as the shopkeepers are very much aware of the fact that you are a tourist and do not have much knowledge about the price and quality of their products. Try not to be misguided and take up your own decisions. Do bargain if you feel the item is over-rated. Do not forget to cross check the quality of the product before buying something. Always remember that all that glitters are not gold, so all that looks good might not be good. Therefore buy what you need and do not over spend. Try to save for those things which are worth spending on like the popular local dish Dal Bati Churma because you have not tried it before anywhere. Baba Bazar is an ideal place for shopping in Jaipur as you can find everything peculiar to the place under one roof. The above mentioned points will surely help you to enjoy a successful trip in Jaipur while staying within the budget constraint. Just be careful about the smart sellers on the streets and try to maintain unity by traveling in a group. But this doesn’t imply that solo traveling is bad as an option. It simply protects you from the strangers who can take advantage of you knowing that you are alone. Meet new people and travel with them as it reduces the chances of being cheated. Jaipur is truly a land of fantasy that lets you rediscover yourself if you are traveling solo. The Author of this article is a blog writer and writes on wide array of topics on travelling.
