Here are some do's and don'ts for visiting Jaipur:
Do's:

1. Cover yourself with travel insurance for thefts, losses, and medical- claims. Do exchange money only through authorised banks or money changers.

2. Indulge in the delicious Rajasthani cuisine, including specialities like Dal Baati Churma, Ghewar, and Pyaaz Kachori. There are many local eateries and restaurants where you can savour authentic flavours.

3. Check out cultural events and festivals happening in Jaipur, such as the Jaipur Literature Festival or the Teej Festival, to experience the city's vibrant culture and traditions.

4. Respect the religious and sacred places of worship. Always take off your shoes while entering there. Some Hindu temples and Gurudwaras don’t allow you to enter unless you cover your head. So take care of that.

5. Use licensed guides for sightseeing who own a valid ID card.

Don'ts:

1. Avoid drinking tap water, Stick to bottled or filtered water to avoid getting sick from waterborne diseases. It's better to be cautious and drink safe water during your stay.

2. Avoid street food from unhygienic vendors, While street food in Jaipur can be delicious, be cautious about where you eat to avoid food poisoning. Choose vendors that look clean and have a high turnover of customers.

3. Do not take offers of spiritual salvation and magic remedies from saints, god men, and quacks. There is no way you can distinguish genuine ones from crooks.

4. Do not take pictures of people without asking permission. Photography within airports, military installations, bridges, and “sensitive” border areas is not permitted.

5. It is quite a closed society. So avoid wearing clothes that are too revealing and too scanty.

By keeping these do's and don'ts in mind, you can have a memorable and enjoyable experience exploring the Pink City of Jaipur.
