    LMB

    Eat a late lunch. LMB is a reliable mid-range spot for north Indian vegetarian food. Order the Aloo ki Tikiya or Paneer Ghewar to get a head start on the evening.

    Iswari Minar Swarga Sal

    Walk four minutes east to Iswari Minar Swarga Sal. This minaret offers great views of Jaipur. The sun sets toward the WSW, so you will have a clear view of the light fading over the city. If the minaret is closed, use the alternative viewpoint across the road in the shopping complex near Chandpol Bazaar.

    Jain Mandir

    Head to Jain Mandir in Shivdaspura. It is 15 to 16 km from the city center, so you will need transport. The temple is famous for its beautiful 0.7 m statue of God Padamprabhu made of pure white stone. The quiet atmosphere provides a calm end to the evening.

Local tip

The drive to Jain Mandir is significant. Check the route and transport options in advance, as the temple is well outside the main city area. LMB is open until 23:00, so you have plenty of time for dinner before heading out.

Check before you go

  • LMB is open Mo-Su 08:00-23:00.
  • Jain Mandir is 15-16 km from the city center; verify opening hours and transport.
