Abhaneri Stepwell Day Tour
Chand Baori at Abhaneri is thirteen storeys of stairs cut down into the ground, and it is the single most photographed thing on the Jaipur–Agra road. Ninety-five kilometres out, so it makes a short day on its own — which is why most people pair it with something.

Abhaneri Stepwell Day Tour: questions people ask
- How far is Abhaneri from Jaipur?
95 km, about an hour and forty-five minutes on the Agra road. It is a genuinely short trip, which is why the day usually has room for something else in it.
- Can Abhaneri be combined with Bhangarh or Sariska in one day?
Yes to Bhangarh — it is about 50 km north of Abhaneri and makes a full and interesting day. Sariska is further and works better as its own trip. Either way you pay for the extra kilometres at your vehicle's published rate and nothing else.
- Are entry tickets to Chand Baori included?
No. There is a modest entry ticket at the gate, paid there. As with every tour on this site, monument tickets are not in our fare and we do not mark them up.
- Is this tour worth a full day, or is a half day enough?
Chand Baori alone is a half day. If that is all you want, our 8 hour local package covers it comfortably and costs less than this tour. Book this one if you are pairing it with Bhangarh or Bhandarej, or if you want an unhurried day out of the city.
