Description

Step away from the city bustle and discover the heart of rural Rajasthan on this Same Day Samode Village & Palace Tour from Jaipur. Perfect for travelers seeking an authentic mix of heritage, culture, and countryside charm, this private tour takes you 42 km from Jaipur to the royal village of Samode—a hidden gem known for its 16th-century palace, traditional crafts, and warm hospitality. Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from your Jaipur hotel in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. As you drive through the scenic Aravalli Hills, your guide introduces you to Rajasthan’s royal legacy and the timeless beauty of its villages. Upon arrival in Samode Village, stroll through narrow lanes adorned with colorful frescoed houses and meet the locals in their traditional homes. Get hands-on with authentic village activities—try clay pottery, learn the delicate art of bangle or lac-making, and if visiting during the harvest season, experience farm life firsthand with ploughing or crop-cutting demonstrations. Continue with a camel or camel-cart ride through the village and surrounding desert fields—an unforgettable way to soak in the tranquil rural scenery and capture postcard-perfect moments of Rajasthan’s rustic charm. Next, explore the grand Samode Palace, a 16th-century royal residence blending Mughal and Rajput architecture. Your expert guide will share fascinating tales of Rajput kings as you walk through the magnificent Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Hall), Durbar Hall, and lush courtyards decorated with murals and intricate carvings. Enjoy stunning rooftop views of the surrounding hills and villages that evoke the timeless splendor of Rajasthan’s royal past. After sightseeing, indulge in a royal buffet lunch at the palace’s luxurious restaurant—offering authentic Rajasthani dishes and continental favorites. Dine like royalty as you soak in the palace’s regal ambiance. Post-lunch, enjoy a leisurely stroll in the palace’s Mughal-style gardens or revisit the village streets at your own pace before heading back to Jaipur in comfort. This tour perfectly balances heritage and authenticity, offering travelers a chance to see beyond Jaipur’s monuments and experience the real Rajasthan—its art, people, and royal hospitality. A truly cultural, immersive, and offbeat experience, this is not just a tour—it’s a journey through time and tradition.
