A quick tip: the bus from Galta Ji to the Zoo runs every 30 minutes in the morning, so you can hop on a quick ride instead of walking the 5 km. If you prefer walking, the route passes through a few shaded lanes near the Zoo’s main gate, where you can grab a cold drink at the small café inside. From the Zoo to Hawa Mahal the bus takes about 15 minutes, keeping the walk short and avoiding the midday heat. If you’re staying near the city, a stay at Jai Mahal Palace gives you a comfortable base and easy access to both sites.
