Tonk

One day is enough for Tonk’s main sights; arrive early, see the Sunheri Kothi and Arabic & Persian Research Institute, then head to a nearby market.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Tonk is a small Rajasthani town about 100 km from Jaipur. Its attractions – the Sunheri Kothi mansion, the Arabic & Persian Research Institute and nearby Ranthambore National Park – are clustered within the town or a short drive, so a single day covers the highlights. Overnight stays are optional for a relaxed pace or if you plan a park safari.

This is a basic guide for Tonk: no airport-to-bed path, walking clusters or day plans yet. Fares and schedules here are unverified. What this page does cover
Rules in force · 6
  • South Asia ↗Trekking regions, border districts and several Indian states need separate permits on top of the visa; check the permit before you book transport into them.
  • South Asia ↗Remove shoes (and in many Jain and Hindu temples, leather) before entering; cover shoulders and legs; ask before photographing people or rituals.
  • India ↗Apply for the e-visa only on the official government portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in); lookalike sites charge extra. Check the current rules, fees and how far ahead to apply.
  • India ↗Do not follow anyone who says your hotel is closed, the station ticket office is closed or a road is shut; use the prepaid taxi counter, the metro or an app car.
  • India ↗Carry Indian rupees in small notes (10, 20, 50, 100); change for 500 is often refused.
  • India ↗Parts of the Northeast, Sikkim, Ladakh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and all border belts need a Protected or Restricted Area Permit or an Inner Line Permit for foreigners; check before you book the route.
