Chand Baori
The place is popular for the amazing 'Boris' (step wells). The village of Abhaneri is believed to be established by the King Raja Chand. Originally Abhaneri was named as Abha Nagri, which means the city of brightness, but due to the mispronunciation of the term, it is changed to the present name.Step wells are the unique concept of India. These big tanks were used as cool places of resort and water reservoir in parched days. It was a ritual to wash hands and feet before visiting the temple. Adjoining the Chand Baori,

Impressive and very beautiful work
The well is in very good condition. With 13 floors visible above water level in December. But perhaps at another time of the year the water level is higher, but tourists are not allowed on the steps that go down. Only the first floors are accessible.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your observations! We are glad you got to witness the architectural beauty of the stepwell during your visit in December. You are exactly right—the water levels fluctuate significantly depending on the season. After the monsoon rains, the water can rise much higher, covering several of the lower tiers, whereas, in the drier months, more of the intricate masonry and the 13 levels become visible. Regarding the access to the steps: the safety and preservation of this ancient heritage site are top priorities. While we understand it is tempting to walk down those famous symmetrical stairs, the restrictions are in place to protect the structural integrity of the stone and ensure the safety of all visitors. Your Safe Touring is Our Mission…

Amazing driver Rakesh
Thanks to Rakesh, our AMAZING driver. Very nice and accomodating. We cannot give 5 stars as the guide in Abhaneri was not very good and didn't explain much.
Response from the operator: Dear Simone00don Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that Rakesh, our driver, made a positive impact on your experience. We apologize for the guide in Abhaneri not meeting your expectations. We’ll be sure to pass along your comments to improve the quality of the guiding experience. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future! Thanks & Regards... Team JPT

Good expirence in Jaipur
Abhaneri (both stepwell and the Harshat Mata Temple next to the stepwell) was great and well explained by a local tour guide living there. The monkey temple is ok, even this part of the tour is not guided and the temple is quite dirty and untidy. Mr. Sandeep, the driver, did a great job taking care of me all the time and giving historical details about Jaipur city and useful tips before entering the monkey temple. Great the backoffice organization too.

A very easy trip to Abhaneri with Rakesh as my driver. Chand Baori is very much worth a visit if you are interested in architecture! Rakesh was a very helpful and safe driver.

Perfect
The driver, Naveen, was very friendly, and on time. We stopped for breakfast on the road and he dropped me off at an ATM between the two destinations because I needed one. Everything went perfectly.

Les valeurs de notre entreprise placent la satisfaction du client au premier rang de nos priorités et nous nous engageons envers nos clients. Des clients comme vous rendent notre travail merveilleux. Nous avons hâte de vous servir à nouveau :). Meilleurs vœux de la part de toute l'équipe de JPT.

Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaipur.
How much does Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur?
+
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 Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur?
+
Around 4 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Trip to Abhaneri Chand Baori Stepwell from Jaipur 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.
