Jaipur Transportation Tips by georeiser

Spice Jet

All the flights out from Jaipur to Mumbai/Goa were fully booked this day, so I couldn't use my standby tickets on Jet Airways. Instead I had to buy fully priced tickets with Spice Jet. 212 passengers were packed in a Boeing 737-900. But traveling on a low-price-airline you have to accept some narrowness. Ad-hoc price from Jaipur to Goa via Ahmedabad one way was 9500 rupies.

Jaipur airport is a new and clean airport.

Pedicabs in Jaipur

Bicycle rickshaws, or Pedicabs as somebody call it, are very common in Jaipur. There are more pedicabs in the streets here than any other cities I have seen in India. It makes less airpollution, but the traffic is slower. I noticed that the bicycles were adjusted on the highest gear, making it harder to start and almost impossible to drive up hills. (Downtown Jaipur is flat). Does the bicycle have only one gear?

Horse carriage in Jaipur

The horse carriage was located in a tourists area of Jaipur. Forget about bicycle rickshaw if you want a pompous ride.
