Upon your arrival in Jaipur later today, we will assist you with checking in to Samode Haveli for a three-night stay. This delightful haveli is rich in local character and, at over 175 years old, provides a chance to experience one of India’s charming heritage hotels.

If you are interested in such experiences, you may also enjoy exploring our favorite offbeat attractions in India’s Golden Triangle.

For an authentic local souvenir, we recommend purchasing a piece of semi-precious jewelry or blue pottery.

Later in the day, you will head to Dera Amer for a memorable evening with elephants. Located on the outskirts of the city, Dera Amer offers a magical experience where you can interact with elephants, assisting in feeding and bathing them.
