How do you get around a city when you’re travelling? Exploring the heart of a city on foot is always a rewarding experience, getting lost in unnamed lanes and discovering hidden gems but the sore feet at the end of the day are a downside. You could also travel by cars too, but do you really want to look at the city pass you by, through the glass window?
So we bring to you 7 unique ways to experience the Pink City, the ThingsToDo way!
Pink city auto - There are auto rickshaws and then there is the Pink City auto rickshaw! Traveling like the locals doesn’t have to be boring. Travel around the city in style and turn heads wherever you go with your Pink City Auto rickshaw. These beautifully designed electronic rickshaws are compact, comfortable and equipped with amenities like a safe, newspaper holder, Water bottle, city maps and the all important mobile charger! The rickshaw is painted pink to showcase the colour of the city. So don’t forget to click those Instagram selfies with it and share them with us for a chance to get featured on our Instagram page!

The noblemen of the erstwhile state bought these jeeps for going hunting and now they are restored and ready for taking you around the city in style!
Elephant safari - Everyone has seen elephants taking travellers upto to Amber fort. So whats new here? We bring you the ‘The Mighty Indian Elephant’ at a beautiful country farm, away from the bustle of the city. Relax and unwind in luxury while being one with nature. Situated at the foothills of the Aravali Range, surrounded by a reserved forest, this farm is an ideal natural environment for the happy elephants. We say ‘Happy’ because these magnificent animals are well kept, well fed and very well taken care of, giving you a chance to get to know the real jolly giants that they are. Get to know them, their diet, routine and their unique habits, feed them bananas and watch them gleefully splash around the water! After that take your new friend for a safari around the farm under the watchful eye of the Mahout or the caretaker. #DidYouKnow An adult elephant can eat upto 130 kgs of food everyday!
The Welcome Ambassador - Want to explore the city at your own pace? Our custom-made Ambassador allows you to do just that, Vintage-style! Ambassador was one of the first cars to be produced in India, a symbol of the Indian politics, royalty and wealth and remained in production for 57 years! After the production of Ambassadors stopped, we decided to convert our own car into a piece of art - A unique luxury car, equipped with the best amenities, made exclusively for you. Most of the steel parts were recast in brass and decorated with detailed inlay work by artisans called in specially from Moradabad, to give it a chic look. While Brocade fabric was sourced from the southern part of the country for upholstery, the best leather available went in to make the most luxurious seats.Local artisans were called from Jaipur school of art to adorn the outside of the car with traditional miniature paintings depicting a king’s procession, giving the ambassador its royal look. #DidYouKnow the miniature paintings, despite being small in size, are so detailed that you can even see the eyebrows on the painted figures. The final cherry on top is your chauffeur who comes dressed in the traditional attire to add the local touch to your experience.
Horses - Experience the sheer power of these majestic animals for yourself, after all there is a reason we still measure our cars’ performance in ‘Horsepower’! At farm located half an hour away from the city, away from the bustle and chaos. Find out more about horses, polo and its tradition in Rajasthan, take a walk around the farm, visit the stables and get acquainted with the place, the animals, and the riding gear. #DidYouKnow Horses can run within hours after their birth! After a quick walk through the basics of riding, take a little safari in the countryside for a unique tour of the rural life, as you ride back to the farm through the village.
