Jaipur Trip


Ladies, I am organising a trip to Jaipur for a small group who would like to take the opportunity to explore this fabulous pink city.

The dates have been planned to coincide with the Jaipur Heritage Festival which incorporates daily craft bazaars, music, theatre and dance. We will also take in the sights of the Amer Palace, where you can take an elephant ride up to the palace and fort, as well as visiting the City Palace, Palace of Winds and, time permitting, a trip to the Anokhi museum.

The dates are as follows:-

Depart Chennai on Monday 14 January on either of the following flights (availability permitting):-

Kingfisher Airlines
Chennai-Bombay 0650 0835 Rs 3900
Bombay-Jaipur 1040 1225 Rs 4500

Jet Airways
Chennai-Bombay 1415 1605 Rs 3100
Bombay-Jaipur 1755 1930 Rs 3200

Returning Chennai Friday 19 January on either:-

Kingfisher Airlines
Jaipur-Bombay 1300 1445 Rs 4500
Bombay-Jaipur 1705 1850 Rs 3900

Jet Airways
Jaipur-Bombay 0825 1000 Rs 4975
Bombay-Chennai 1105 1250 Rs 3600

We plan to stay at the 3 star Madhuban Hotel, which is a small heritage hotel situated in Jaipur. This has been recommended to me by an OWC member who stayed there earlier this year.

Prices/room grades are as follows and they have twins and doubles in each category. I would suggest that we take twin rooms to minimize the cost.

Suite (per night) Rs 2592 (this includes 8% tax)
Super Deluxe Rs 2052 “
Deluxe Rs 1512 “

I have made enquiries for 6 rooms (max 12 people) and at the moment they can accommodate us.

To check out the hotel online go to http://www.hotelsjaipur.com/ and to check out the festival go to http://www.jaipurfestival.org/ .

Please note, transfers, food and any tickets to sights/festival have not been included.

However, if you are up for an adventure then please contact me by December 8th.
