Description
Holi in Jaipur: two days of festivities and unique experiences.
Explore the Pink City at its most colorful and lively. We'll accompany you to discover its streets, its people, and its traditions while you celebrate one of India's most joyful festivals.
Day 1 – The Pink City and the Fire Ritual
We will pick you up from your hotel to start a tour of Jaipur's most iconic sights: the fort, palaces, and temples that reflect its architectural splendor. You'll stroll through traditional bazaars brimming with fabrics, bracelets, and colored powders, where you can buy everything you need for Holi the next day.
In the late afternoon, we'll head to the City Palace area to witness the Holika ritual, one of the most symbolic ceremonies of the festival. Around the fire, locals gather with chants and offerings, celebrating the victory of good over evil. It's an intimate moment, full of spirituality and emotion, perfect for experiencing Holi Eve 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 celebrations like a local. We'll start at a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, right in the heart of the Pink City, where devotees gather to begin playing with colors. From there, we'll join a private local party, surrounded by music, dancing, and laughter.
At midday, after all 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 round off the experience with a visit to the Monkey Temple (Galta Ji), a sacred and vibrant place nestled among the hills, where pilgrims bathe and monkeys roam freely among temples and ponds. It's the perfect setting to wrap up these two days of excitement, color, and culture.

Important Information
- TIPS FOR HOLI
Apply coconut oil or moisturizer to your face, arms, and legs before heading out: this prevents the colors from sticking too much.
Wear old or white clothes that you don't mind getting stained (the colors may not come out completely).
Wear closed shoes or sturdy sandals, not flip-flops, as the ground is often wet and slippery.
If someone insists on throwing color at you and you don't feel comfortable, firmly say 'No, thank you' and walk away.
Be respectful in temples or family areas.
