Four days in Jaipur, the Pink City. Day one covers the old city's Hawa Mahal, City Palace and Jantar Mantar. Days two and three head to the hill forts of Amber, Jaigarh and Nahargarh and the bazaars below them. Day four slows down with the Albert Hall Museum, the Galta Ji monkey temple, Birla Mandir and the Isar Lat tower.
Four days covers the main forts, palaces, and bazaars. Hire a car for day trips to Amber and Nahargarh to manage the distances.
