    If you’re staying at Jai Mahal Palace, you can hop out and walk to Kote Gate in about fifteen minutes. The market opens around 6 a.m.; the first stalls are the hand loom cotton and silk shops right inside the main gate, while the spice corner near the bazaar square is famous for fresh garam masala and cumin. An early morning walk gives you the quietest crowds and the freshest aromas.
