Nightlife in Jaipur

 Jaipur's nightlife is undoubtedly as majestic as this pink city of Rajasthan. The people of this beautiful city have their own way of enjoying the night. In fact, Jaipur is not as interested in high energy nightlife as other cities around the world. People generally enjoy quiet nights while listening to music, puppet shows and traditional dances which are a showcase of Rajasthan's rich heritage. Raj Mandir is one of the most famous theaters in India and has nightly shows, which could be one of your nightlife destinations.

 


Jaipur's nightlife is not suitable for watching a movie, eating, shopping or having a drink in a local bar or bistro. 'Chokhi Dhani', a restaurant near the airport, organizes Rajasthani folklore shows. This may be your only stop to have your meals and learn about local folklore. However, the place is 30km from the city and you would have to hire a taxi.

 

The city doesn't have a lot of clubs, but there are plenty of bars and pubs to satisfy the cravings of alcohol lovers. Le Meridian nightclub is the perfect place to dance to the rhythm of the DJs. There is another nightclub at Choki Dhani, India's 5 star resort. It's a nightclub where you can surf the latest national and international music under the showers.

 

Some of the famous bars and pubs in Jaipur that are worth checking out are as follows: -

 

Library Bar: - This bar is located in the Raj Vilas hotel. Known as the Rajwada Library Bar, this charming bar is the perfect place to relax. Here you can get a great selection of national and international drinks. This bar is frequented by a large number of people, mainly business people. You can try the wines or try the cigars available here.

 

Mansagar Bar: - This admired nightclub is located in the Hilton Trident hotel in Jaipur. This bar is located on the hotel terrace and is open from 11:00 am. at 11 p.m. every day of the week. One of the most stylish bars in town, with marble floors and large windows. You can sit on the huge sofas and enjoy the city view from the windows. The beer and wines that are served here are simply excellent. It also has a good selection of international beers.

 

Jagat Niwas Palace Restaurant: - This is mainly an outdoor rooftop bistro. The restaurant also offers drinks. Therefore, you can order wine or beer with your meal. There is also a small bar for excellent alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

 

Geffrey's: - Located in the Park Plaza hotel. You can buy a wide range of drinks here. At night, you can see a large number of people having a drink while listening to the soothing music that is played here.

Happy Hours: Rajasthani fairs and festivals

 MEASURES IN RAJASTHAN

 

Hosting trade shows is a way for people to socialize, create business opportunities, and enjoy the spirit of unity in Rajasthan. These are some of the fairs that take place in different cities of Rajasthan.

 




1. PUSHKAR FAIR

 

The largest fair in all of Rajasthan takes place mainly in the months of October or November in the small town of Pushkar. Pushkar ka Mela, as it is better known, is the picturesque of the culture, tradition and art of Rajasthani. Rajasthan tourism is best exhibited with this type of vacation. The bold use of colors, the cheerful atmosphere and the pride in the residents' faces create an irresistible atmosphere in which to break out.

 

The main attractions of the fair are:

 

Camel Races - Thousands of camels are sold, decorated, and competed for the crowd. Camels also seem to value fanfare.

 

Mustache: The public display of exceptionally large mustaches by men from all over Rajasthan inspires viewers with awe.

 

Ghoomer - one of the most fascinating folk dances in India. The energetic but quick, gentle and graceful movements of the performers let every foot around the performance touch the music.

 

The traditional clothing style of men and women is attractive to the eye. The colorful but huge turbans, followed by sparkling dresses on the body and the subtle jooti on the foot, attract men's attention. Women wear traditional flowing lehengas and long, shiny blouses with sewn mirrors. Full-colored bracelets, long, heavy earrings and nose rings, also called natni, are the dominant decorative surfaces alongside heavy necklaces.

 

2. NAGAUR LIVESTOCK FAIR

 

Rajasthan takes place in Nagaur in February and is a unique fair with "cattle". Cattle are gathered all over Rajasthan and decorated by their owners. The decorated cattle are a real treat and the eccentricity of the event enchants tourists. Tug of war, ox races, etc. These are the highlights of the events.

 

3. BANESHWAR FAIR

 

It takes place in Dungarpur and includes many traditional rituals. It extends over a period of 4 days. Many Rajasthani package tour operators encourage tourists to purchase the handicrafts to sell as souvenirs.

The festival takes place on the colder days of January or February, and Rajasthan tour packages ensure that tourists get involved in the celebrations.

 

5. JAIPUR ELEPHANT FESTIVAL

 

The elephant festival takes place in conjunction with the Festival of Colors, also known as Holi. It offers delicacies such as elegantly decorated elephant parades, polo games with elephants, elephant races as well as moving music and dance.
