Jaipur a.k.a THE PINK CITY has always been known for its flamboyance be it in terms of its architecture or its monumental landscapes that have always managed to capture the essence of the Royalty. It's because of these magnanimous structures who along with its delicious street style food corners has managed to catch the eyes of tourists from both India and abroad. Hence most of the times you're likely to come across immense crowds which is definitely a bummer for tourists like us.

But what if I tell you that there's a certain time of the day when you not only have close to zero crowds but you also get to witness the Grand Jaipur - lit up in its glory. Earlier only Amer Fort used to have this facility but two-three years ago Rajasthan government extended this facility to many nearby forts and destinations in the area.

Places to visit during Night :

Here's a list of places you must visit at night.

Amer Fort

Ticket Price : 100 (for Indians)

Timings : 6:30 pm to 9pm

One can witness the palace in myriads of lights. All the places are accessible at night as well. The guards start taking rounds around 8:30pm to vacate the premises hence make sure you take your pauses accordingly.

The main courtyard (Jaleb Chowk) which contains both entrance gates i.e. Suraj Pol (Sun gate) and Chand Pol (Moon gate) in frame.

Albert hall museum is one of the oldest museums in the city. One can find huge crowds of pre wedding couples and photographers during the day but none at night. And here's the catch, one doesn't need to enter the premises as this view is accessible from the street itself.

Hawa Mahal

One can enjoy such views from the periphery of Nahargarh fort. Also you can buy the ticket to watch light and sound show there. Also one can have a dinner at Padao restaurant which has a separate ticket which is redeemable to buy a drink or an appetiser.

Note : One cannot carry drone to the monuments but you can surely fly across them. Don't forget to capture night hyperlapse at Albert hall museum round about the output will be phenomenal.
