October to March — pleasant weather for walking and photography. Early morning or late afternoon is best for soft light and cooler conditions.

Rajasthan has hot summers (April–June) with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, a monsoon season (July–September) with some humidity and brief heavy rains, and cool, dry winters (October–March).

There is generally no separate entry fee to access Panna Meena ka Kund; access is informal and open during daylight hours. Opening time is effectively sunrise to sunset as it is an open public historic site near Amber Fort. (If visiting Amber Fort, check the fort’s official timings and ticketing separately.)

Located within walking distance of Amber Fort’s approach road and the local market area. Reachable by taxi, auto-rickshaw or tour vehicle from Jaipur city. Nearest major points: Jaipur Railway Station (~10–12 km, approx.) and Jaipur International Airport (~12–15 km, approx.). The kund has many narrow stone steps and uneven surfaces — not wheelchair-friendly and requires careful footing.

30–60 minutes to explore the kund, take photographs and combine with a visit to Amber Fort and surrounding attractions.

Comfortable walking shoes with good grip, sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen for daytime visits; modest clothing out of cultural respect when visiting nearby forts and temples. Carry a small water bottle and a light rain jacket during monsoon season.

Try nearby Rajasthani snacks and street food such as kachori, pyaaz ki kachori, lassi, and sweets like ghewar (seasonal). Popular souvenirs from Jaipur/Amber include block-printed textiles, blue pottery, handmade jewellery, and small brass or stone handicrafts.
