However,the tourist industry insiders have expressed concerns regarding certain challenges faced by tourists visiting specific sites within Jaipur.
The roads leading to Amir Fort and Nahargarh Fort have been reported as being in poor condition due to inadequate public transport facilities, resulting in frequent traffic congestion. This poses difficulties for tourists trying to reach their desired destinations on time. The lack of proper sanitation facilities leaves a bad impression on visitors. Vendors near Jaipur zoo and Albert Hall create hindrances for tourists’ convenience.
Despite these issues, Japiur’s heritage destinations continue to enchant visitors from all over the world. The local authorities must take immediate action to address these concerns and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for tourists visiting this culturally-rich city, the guides said.
