Rajasthan\u2019s capital of Jaipur certainly lives up to its nickname of The Pink City. Upon arrival, you can see the distinctive salmon hue all across the city\u2019s skyline. But beyond appearance, it\u2019s also a place that is steeped in heritage. Traditional folk song and dance, textile markets, handmade designer shopping, and local cuisine are all just part of Jaipur\u2019s rich culture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Newer additions to the streets of Jaipur are the bright pink, custom-designed and eco-friendly rickshaws driven by local women. What better way to see the sights of the city? However, more than just a fun way to explore Jaipur, the Pink City Rickshaw offers a unique opportunity to help support more than 200 local women from low-income households.<\/p>\n

Employing women from low-income neighborhoods, many of whom have no work opportunities prior to guiding Jaipur tours, Pink City Rickshaw equips its employees with professional training, and opportunities for economic empowerment among their communities.<\/p>\n

Now does that sound like your kind of ride? Join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experience<\/a><\/strong> on our Essence of India with Ranthambore<\/a><\/strong> luxury guided tour, meet these women for yourself and learn all about the initiative. Hop in, share stories and see the magnificent sights of Jaipur.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experiences are a beautiful exchange of values between our guests and the people that we meet,\u201d explains Lucie Dalila, Sustainability Manager, Travel Experiences at Luxury Gold \u201cThis is a two-way experience \u2013 a sharing of stories, ideas and knowledge that shines a whole new light on your destination. We all leave feeling empowered, inspired and keen to contribute even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Empowering local women<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Puja Gour, Vice President of ACCESS Development Services, a nonprofit organization based in Jaipur, that partners with Pink City Rickshaw tells us: \u201cEmpowering women is our main initiative but creating an engaging and curated experience on our sightseeing tours is a top priority as well. Tourism meets philanthropy as you are guided through the medieval mystique of the walled city, seeing the local culture and sites through the eyes of the smart, enthusiastic and knowledgeable women who navigate Jaipur\u2019s streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

A modern icon since the 1880s<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe presence of rickshaws in India has played an important role, from the electric cities to the smaller towns of rural regions,\u201d explains Puja. \u201cGrowing up in Patna in Bihar, we didn\u2019t have a public transportation system. Hopping on a rickshaw (usually hired by a family or friend) for weekly outings with other neighborhood children continues to hold a warm place in my heart.\u00a0 While the city\u2019s rickshaw industry has traditionally been dominated by men, the societal backdrop is adapting to the transition of new drivers \u2014 giving women the power to gain professional experience and income, while also giving you a fuller experience compared to the standard point A-to-B taxi service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soaking up the sites<\/h3>\n

Sites like the 16th-century Amber Palace, known for its cobbled paths and views of Maota Lake, and UNESCO world heritage site Jantar Mantar observatory, are part of what draw in so many visitors to the magic of Jaipur. The magnificent City Palace is home to Mughal and Jajput architecture and is the present residence to the last ruling royal family, which lives in a private section of the palace.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also get lost in some more off-the-beaten path destinations, like the partially hidden lower level of Mansagar, a beautiful place of solitude often overlooked by the masses.\u00a0 By taking a tour with the women of Jaipur, not only are you making a personal impact on the local community and contributing to a cleaner environment, you\u2019re also experiencing the magic of one of India\u2019s most dynamic cities.<\/p>\n

Feeling inspired to rickshaw around Jaipur?<\/h3>\n
