The art of block printing
We loved our visit to the village of Baku to learn about the art of block printing. It was really fascinating and the added bonus was going into the e school.
via Tripadvisor
a really highly recommended tour of a block printing community
What a fantastic day visiting the community of block carvers and printers in Bagru. Our guide, and the artist who accompanied us on our tour of the village, were thorough in their description of the process, visiting many sites around the village where different stages in the process were taking place. We were particular lucky that there were only two of us on the tour, so able at all times to get very close to the action.

Disappointing
I had been looking forward to this tour, the main reason for our visiting India. Unfortunately it was all a bit perfunctory and disappointing. This was by far the most expensive experience we booked in India and the least engaging. Perhaps I had romantic notions of what an artisan community would feel like.

Bagru Block Printing Tour
It was a fascinating tour and Arpit was a wonderful guide. He explained everything so clearly and interestingly, with just the right amount of information. We enjoyed learning about all the different processes and stages, and having a go at block printing ourselves was great fun!

Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaipur.
How much does Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaipur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaipur is not rushed.
Is Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 44 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaipur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaipur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaipur and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Block Printing & Village Stories: Discover Bagru’s Craft Legacy start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaipur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Jaipur?
+
On Outty we rank every Jaipur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Full Day Jaipur Tour with Guide, One Day Tour With Pink City Guide, Private Full Day Jaipur Sightseeing Tour By Tuk Tuk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Jaipur?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Jaipur?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
