Workation in Jaipur: 5 Best Destinations to Work from in 2022

Workations are, undoubtedly, the new normal. It offers the uniqueness of vacation along with working in your own comfort. The days, over the past, have been so discouraging. With the lockdowns, virus scare, and another wave.   If you’ve been wondering, what are we heading towards, I too am! Everyone is confused and deeply stressed about what awaits them in the future. These are testing times, the only thing holding us up is Hope.   What makes this pandemic a sore memory is the fact that all our travel goals had to be given away. Whenever we resume, it won’t be as simple and joyous of an experience as it used to be.   Stuck at home for a year without exploring different cities and finding solace at natural retreats, has made people bored. We desperately want to do it, again.   Everything, as a result of the pandemic, including our daily routines has hung up. There is no idle time anymore. All of us can agree to the fact that working from home has erased the line between work life and personal life.   Sometimes, finishing up a minimal task can take you more than two days. There is, however, an increased level of comfort. But the implications are worse. There are the most common disadvantages to working from home.   Firstly, you lose concentration. Secondly, and most importantly, I feel: you cannot hang out with colleagues anymore. The amicable interaction at a chai shop or a small café is irreplaceable.

It brings together work with the thing that you’re missing the most: travel. It can really work wonders when it comes to changing the perspective.   Your creative mind gets unleashed as you work in the best natural environment away from bustling cities.   The devotion towards concentrating on your work tasks increases leaps and bounds. Your interest increases. You feel content and happy with where you’re at, a changed background.   About Jaipur The Majestic Amber Fort of Jaipur; credits: Meriç Dağlı on Unsplash Jaipur is the Pink city of India and the capital of Rajasthan. Though it isn’t pink completely, the town has a distinct vibe to it. The home to the royalty of Rajasthan, the city is much more than a historic splendour. Jaipur also forms the “Golden Triangle” travel circuit.   The city is just a little over 5 hours from New Delhi. As you get there, you experience lively markets, majestic palaces, and great archaeological structures mixed with a fresh urban environment.   The city was founded by Raja Jai Singh II in 1727 and has a wide expanse of over 450 square kilometres.   Though a lot of people live in the city, it does not feel as overcrowded or populous as the major cities of India. The rich Marwari culture binds every person together here. The chaotic streets have their own charm.   The hullabaloo is an amalgamation of tourists and locals enjoying the liveliness of Jaipur. The markets and tourist spots are inundated by lakhs on a daily basis. This city is a perfect mix of a fast-paced young life and a mesmerizing and brave history.   One gets to see the perfect blend of the old world and the new world here. However, it should be mentioned explicitly, what attracts tourists is the heritage of this ancient capital. The city is home to marvellous Rajput palaces and fortresses. It is one of the most visited cities in India.   However, the town has been seeing a lesser number of visitors since the pandemic struck us. With the tourism sector ramshackle everywhere, an alternate experience in the form of workations is emerging everywhere.   Well, there isn’t much to ask for, basically, in a workation. The industry is not too strong here, we can still get homestays pretty easily.   5 Best Workations in Jaipur, Rajasthan   Here are some recommendations that we hope would be helpful in securing a comfortable and enjoyable stay as a workation in Jaipur:   1.
