Patrika Gate is the reason to take this evening tour. The gateway stands at the edge of Jawahar Circle garden, its columns and vaults painted end to end with scenes from across Rajasthan. Lighting after dark changes the colours entirely from how they read at midday. The route takes in Jaipur's illuminated landmarks alongside it. - Patrika Gate was completed in 2016 and is the newest of the gateways associated with the city, built as a modern addition rather than a historic one. - Each of its painted sections represents a different region of Rajasthan, which makes the structure a survey of the state's visual traditions. - The gate has become one of Jaipur's most photographed structures, and evening visits avoid the queues that form at its arches by day.

Few cities have a leopard reserve inside their boundary. Jhalana covers a stretch of dry forest in the Aravalli hills on Jaipur's eastern edge, minutes from the built-up city. Safaris run in open 4x4 jeeps with a naturalist, following forest tracks for around two and a half hours. Morning and evening slots both operate. - Jhalana holds one of the higher leopard densities recorded in an Indian reserve of its size, which lifts sighting chances well above most parks. - Reviewers describe repeat sightings on a single drive, alongside spotted deer, nilgai and resident bird species. - The reserve stays open through the monsoon months when Rajasthan's larger tiger parks close, making it the state's reliable wet-season option. - Naturalists track individual leopards by name, and know which territories are active at which hour.

Laid out on former Rambagh Palace golf course land, this is the largest green space in central Jaipur. It functions as the city's shared morning ground rather than a sightseeing stop. Peacocks call across the lawns at first light while joggers circle the outer track. Mature trees keep the paths noticeably cooler than the road outside. - The largest public green space in central Jaipur, laid out on former palace land - A circular jogging and walking track runs the perimeter - Resident peacocks, squirrels and birdlife are a consistent feature in visitor accounts - Rated 4.6 across almost 25,000 Google reviews
