Experience Holi in Jaipur: 2 days of color, fire and tradition. Combine the most iconic moments of Holi with the local essence of Jaipur.

Holi in Jaipur: Two days of celebration and unique experiences.

Explore the pink city at its most colorful and lively. We will accompany you to discover its streets, its people, and its traditions while celebrating one of the most joyful festivals in India.

Day 1 – The Pink City and the Fire Ritual

We will pick you up from your hotel to begin a tour of Jaipur's most iconic sights: the fort, palaces, and temples that reflect its architectural splendor. You'll stroll through the traditional bazaars, full of fabrics, bracelets, and colored powders, where you can buy everything you need for the next day's Holi.

As evening falls, we'll head to the City Palace area to witness the Holika ritual, one of the festival's most symbolic ceremonies. Around the fire, locals gather with songs and offerings, celebrating the victory of good over evil. It's an intimate moment, full of spirituality and emotion, perfect for experiencing the eve of Holi in an authentic way.

Day 2 – Colors, music, and joy

In the morning, we'll pick you up again at your hotel to take part in the Holi celebration like a local. We'll start at a temple dedicated to Shiva, in the heart of the Pink City, where the faithful gather to begin playing with the colors. From there, we'll join a private local party, surrounded by music, dancing, and laughter.

At noon, after the fun, we'll enjoy a vegetarian lunch with a local family before returning to the hotel to shower and change clothes.

In the afternoon, we'll top off the experience by visiting the Temple of the Monkeys (Galta Ji), a sacred and vibrant place nestled between hills, where pilgrims bathe and monkeys roam freely between temples and ponds. It's the perfect backdrop to round off these two days of excitement, color, and culture.
