A Jaipur wedding pairs palace hotels and hill forts with Rajasthan’s colour, music and craft. It is closer to Delhi than any other palace city, which keeps travel simple. The season runs from October to March. For 150 guests over three days, expect roughly ₹57.1 lakh–₹1.35 crore (about US$60,000–142,000).

## Key facts

- Best months: October to March
- Typical budget: ₹57.1 lakh–₹1.35 crore (about US$60,000–142,000) for 150 guests, 3 nights, 4-star

Jaipur is Rajasthan’s capital and its most accessible palace city: a short hop from Delhi, with palace hotels, havelis and forts on the ridges around the city.

Weddings here are unapologetically colourful: block-printed tents, marigold canopies, folk dancers and a baraat that can include a decorated vintage car.

## Coming from abroad

Fly into Delhi, then take a one-hour flight or drive four to five hours to Jaipur. Jaipur’s own airport also has some flights from the Gulf. The city pairs naturally with Agra and the Taj Mahal for guests who want a longer trip.

| --- | --- | --- |
| Europe, North America, Australia | Fly into Delhi, then a short flight or a road transfer | About 12–22 hours |
| Delhi | Flight or road | 1 hour by air, 4–5 hours by road |
