Jaipur Trip Cost: Budget Breakdown for 2–3 Days
10 Oct 2026
How much does a Jaipur trip cost? The honest answer: it depends on your hotel, how you travel around and how much you shop. But with a little planning you can enjoy Jaipur on almost any budget. This guide breaks down the Jaipur trip cost for 2–3 days in 2026 – hotels, food, local transport and monument tickets – and gives realistic totals for budget, mid-range and luxury travellers.
Quick estimate: Jaipur trip cost per person (2–3 days, 2026)
- Budget: roughly ₹6,000–10,000
- Mid-range: roughly ₹15,000–25,000
- Luxury: ₹40,000 and up
Rough estimates for two people sharing a room, excluding travel to Jaipur and shopping. Prices vary by season – October to March and long weekends cost more.
1. Hotels: the biggest cost
| Type | Typical price per night (room) | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Hostel / budget guesthouse | ₹600–2,000 | Old city, Bani Park, Station Road |
| Mid-range hotel / heritage haveli | ₹3,000–7,000 | C-Scheme, MI Road, Bani Park, old city havelis |
| Upscale hotel | ₹8,000–15,000 | Malviya Nagar, Tonk Road, Amer road |
| Palace hotel / luxury resort | ₹20,000 and far above | Rambagh, Jai Mahal, Amer and Delhi road resorts |
Tip: heritage havelis in the mid-range give you a "palace feel" at a fraction of the cost. Curious about splurging? See our palace hotels in Jaipur guide.
2. Food
- Street food and local thalis: ₹400–800 per person per day – kachori, lassi, chaat and dal baati churma are cheap and delicious.
- Mid-range restaurants: ₹1,000–2,000 per person per day.
- Fine dining and palace restaurants: ₹3,000+ per person for a single meal.
- Chokhi Dhani dinner: packages from about ₹1,100 per adult (2026, as reported) including entry and performances.

3. Monument tickets
| Ticket | Indian adult (2026) |
|---|---|
| Composite ticket (Amer, Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, Nahargarh, Albert Hall and more) | About ₹550 |
| Amer Fort (single) | ₹200 |
| Hawa Mahal / Jantar Mantar / Nahargarh / Albert Hall (single) | ₹100 each |
| City Palace | Separate private ticket – check the official site |
| Jaigarh Fort | Separate, low-cost ticket |
| Amer light and sound show | Separate ticket |
Budget around ₹1,000–1,500 per person for all tickets over 2–3 days, more if you add a leopard safari or Chokhi Dhani.
4. Local transport
Jaipur's sights are spread out, so transport is a real cost:
- Autos and e-rickshaws: fine for short hops in the city; agree on the fare or use an app.
- App cabs: convenient in the city, but surge pricing is common at peak times and pickups from Amer and Nahargarh can be hard.
- Jaipur Metro: cheap and useful between Mansarovar, the railway station and the old city.
- Full-day sightseeing taxi: the best value for families and groups – one fixed price for 8 hours, the driver waits at each stop, and the cost split between 3–4 people is often less than separate autos.

5. Getting to Jaipur
Travel to Jaipur is usually your second-biggest cost. From Delhi, a train ticket is the cheapest for solo travellers, while a taxi often works out well for a family of four. Read Delhi to Jaipur: all options to compare.

| Total (approx.) | ₹6,000–10,000 | ₹15,000–25,000 | ₹40,000+ |
Jaipur trip package vs DIY
A Jaipur trip package or one of our Jaipur tour packages bundles your hotel, sightseeing taxi and sometimes meals into one price. It's often better value in peak season, saves planning time, and avoids surprise costs. A DIY trip gives you more flexibility and can be cheaper for backpackers. For a Delhi to Jaipur tour package, look for one that includes the return transfer from Delhi.
Money-saving tips
- Travel in shoulder months (September, early October, March) for lower hotel rates.
- Buy the composite ticket if you'll see four or more state monuments.
- Eat where locals eat – Jaipur's street food is world-class and cheap.
- Book a full-day taxi instead of multiple app rides between distant sights.
- Shop in the old-city bazaars, not at monument souvenir stalls, and bargain politely.
- Avoid long weekends, Diwali and New Year if you're on a tight budget.
