During your drive, you might also see leopards, hyenas, sloth bears, various deer species, and lots of different birds. The morning safari usually lasts 3-4 hours, and if there's an evening drive option, that's another 2-3 hours of exploring different zones of the park.

Jaipur
Spend your day hitting Jaipur's major attractions starting with the City Palace, a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal design that's still partially a royal residence. Head over to Amber Fort next, perched on a hilltop overlooking the city, and you'll either drive or take an elephant ride up (depending on what your tour includes). Then make your way to Hawa Mahal, the famous structure with its honeycomb-like windows. After checking out these monuments, spend time in the bazaars and markets like Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar. You'll find textiles, jewelry, handicrafts, and traditional items, and the energy and crowds really give you a sense of how bustling the pink city is.
