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.
