MTC comparison
Delhi or Jaipur: hotel bases, meals and city planning
Both sets use the same dates, party and room basis, so you can compare Delhi and Jaipur directly — then check fit for your own trip in the planner.
Scope, dates and party
These are dated ground-cost illustrations for two adults sharing one room, six nights over seven days, 19–25 January 2027. Hotel prices are public room-table observations from 2 October 2026, not checkout-reconciled quotes. Flights, visas, insurance and regional trips are excluded. They are not bookable and not year-round ranges or calculator defaults.
What is specific to this budget
- Central Delhi/Aerocity versus old Jaipur/Malviya Nagar.
- Included breakfasts and nonrefundable versus cancellable dated offers.
- Per-person dinner versus an explicitly shared two-person combo.
- Airport allowances; Agra and intercity travel excluded.
- Seasonal editorial scores do not predict air quality.
- Every total shows its provisional reserve and the subtotal before it. A reserve is calculated — not a reconciled checkout charge or a guaranteed maximum. Deposits, card holds and unlisted charges are unknown, not zero; breakfast, water, drinks, transport and activities are MTC gross planning estimates.
Arriving in Delhi
Indira Gandhi International (DEL) is the airport. The airport and local allowances are planning budgets. Agra and other intercity trips are excluded.
Arriving in Jaipur
Jaipur International (JAI) is the airport. Malviya Nagar is not the old-city walking core, so allow for rides. Agra, Delhi and other intercity travel are excluded.
Meals in Delhi
Lunch is an inclusive takeaway benchmark — no delivery extras and no guaranteed dine-in. Dinner uses a restaurant at Aerocity near the airport. Novotel and The Connaught include breakfast for two; Le Méridien is room only.
Meals in Jaipur
Dinner B is seven shared orders for two, each already including two drinks and two desserts; it replaces fourteen individual dinners, so nothing is counted twice. Umaid Bhawan and Hyatt Place include breakfast for two; ibis is room only.
Dated ground cost side by side
Basket A at each named hotel, same party and dates, flights excluded. Samples 1–3 follow each city's observed room-price order only; they are not matched quality tiers, and the hotels in a row are not equivalents. Scopes differ, so read the full itemised examples on each cost guide before deciding.
