Need help on Jaipur, Delhi trip

We are to attend a business related meet in Jaipur. My dad has planned to make it as a tour and visit Delhi as well. I need to know about any tourist spots around Jaipur and delhi as well as on the route of Jaipur-Delhi. Kindly help me, the trip will be August end, 5-6 days. Need to book tickets, so kindly help me out soon. Thanks in advance.

Hey Nice to know that you are making a visit to North India, Welcome in advance!

Look, If you go from Delhi to Jaipur it would be an approx. a 4 hour drive by car.

If you plan to visit some major places in delhi then it would take min. 2 days.

Jaipur is a nice place as well, Its much popular for its forts, tombs, Rajasthani tradition etc, I've not yet visited jaipur so don't have much idea about the tourist places but you can search for it on net, Here are 2 useful links for you - This & This.

About Delhi, I've written a list of major places which you must check out, Also I've mentioned the approx. time which would be suffecient to cover these places.
(Note: All these times are approx. and may vary from person to person)

• India Gate (1 hour)
  
• Red Fort (2 hours)
  
• Qutub Minar (Half an hour)
  
• Science Centre (2and a half hour, Its really an interesting place)
  
• Natural Museum (Its nice as well, May take around 1 hour)
  
• Lotus Temple (1hour)
  
• Raj Ghat (Half to one hour)
  
• Zoological Garden (Almost a full day but if you visit it by their vehicle service then you can cover it within 3- 4hours)
  

There are more, I'll keep adding when they come in my mind.
All the best.

Thanks a lot vibhor. A change in plan, as my brother can't quit classes and for some other reasons, we've been dropped out of the trip. So my Dad and mom would only come there. Keep the inputs coming, i'll pass it on to them. Again thanks for guidance.

That is quite unfortunate crazy cat, Anyways if your parents are coming then tell them about all those above mentioned places but I'm not sure whether they would be intrested in Zoo.
Also, CC Could you tell me the location where they will be staying in delhi, Means south,east,west,north delhi so that I can suggest accordingly.

Jaipur has some good historics forts to visit, also its market for tradional rajasthani speciality is very famous.will let you know this evening with few details i might be having of my last trip there.

Here's some info about attractions in Jaipur:

chowki dani is one place to visit, amazing ambeince and food is excellent.

@vibhor, i'm not quite sure about location. Will update when i know.

@pushkar, thanks for the link, that was useful.

@vijay, chowki dani is a restaurant or tourist spot?

tourist place along with food joint, its some 25-30 kms away from city but worth visiting.also they have this theatre hall which is famous in whole of asia, dont remember its name but also worth ceeing.(read as movie hall/multiplex)

ok vijay. I'll pass it on to my parents. where did you stay?

i stayed at Taj, but sadly had hell of showers those two days so couldnt visit much of jaipur, but ther are quite good places to be.

Crazy Cat,
Your parents should visit the Akshardham Temple, I would say that one must visit it if comes to Delhi, Akshardham is simply awesome, It takes almost a whole day if you want to visit it completely.

Here in Delhi, There are lots of museums on different things, Like Science & Natural Museum as i said above.
Other museums includes, Rail Museum, Doll Museum etc.

well i wont suggest any museums to visit for his parents but yes as vibhor said they should surely visit akshardham temple, worth visiting and do also make sure they take tickets for all shows, mostly they should reach the temple around 2-3 pm, go directly to the shows and then way back visit the temple in evening, its awesome man.

Akshardham is awesome and a very beautiful place.Here are images .............

From the pics, i think Akshardham Temple should not be missed. Is there any other tourist spots around Akshardham Temple?

pictures are nothing to reality of this temple, very beautifully built, crafted and maintained, they would spend almost one full day if they want to cover the whole of temple along with features shows.

Yes, Aksharsham is a real beauty. It will take quite a lot of time but its worth it.
Also, As vijay said, Your parent must watch those featured shows.
BTW, When you parent will be coming here cc?

VT

28th of this month and will return home on 2nd September.

So have your parents decided what all places they are going to visit?
Keep us updating.
