The Route — Delhi to Jaipur via NH-48
The Delhi to Jaipur highway NH-48 is one of India’s best maintained intercity roads. The route passes through Gurgaon, Manesar, Dharuhera, Shahjahanpur and Kotputli before entering Jaipur. The road is mostly 6-lane throughout with good lighting and regular rest stops.
Leaving Delhi between 6 and 7 AM avoids the Gurgaon exit traffic and gets you to Jaipur by 11 to 12 PM — plenty of time for a full day of sightseeing. See Delhi to Jaipur taxi details and booking →
