The Pink City Rickshaw Company
Wild Frontiers Founder Jonny Bealby meets the people behind the Pink City Rickshaw Company, which gives job opportunities to women from low-income households in Jaipur, and is environmentally friendly to boot, featuring electric rickshaws.
The Wild Frontiers Foundation is raising funds to purchase four new electric rickshaws and train eight local women from low income families in Jaipur, India, to be driver/guides with inspiring new charity partner, The Pink City Rickshaw Company. -
PINK CITY RICKSHAW COMPANY- Innovation on Wheels !
The Pink City Rickshaw Company is an innovative project which aims to train and empower 200 women from urban slums of the city to take you on specially curated tours of Jaipur in unique customized environment friendly rickshaws.
Pink City Rickshaw Co. is an ACCESS Development Services (a not for profit organization) initiative, seeking to accomplish triple bottom line (economic, environmental and social) outcomes. All the 200 women drivers will own equity in the Pink City Rickshaw Co., helping to build their social capital.
This initiative will not only offer sustainable livelihood options for these women but also provide a unique experience to travellers visiting the Pink City by providing them the luxurious meandering drive in the old city.

Jaipur Pink City Video Amber Palace Fort Elephant Ride Rickshaw flat tyre in Jaipur Old City India 8
There is too much to see in one day, so this video shows day 1 in Jaipur and my visit to the Amber Fort. My next video showing some of the other sights in the Jaipur area will be published on Friday 10th November.
It’s my first full day in Jaipur, the capital and largest city in the Rajasthan state of India, and my first port of call on my Jaipur tour is the Amber Palace. The Amber Palace, also spelled as Amer but pronounced Amber, and commonly referred to as the Amber Fort is located in Amer town, now part of the outskirts of Jaipur City in the.
A short delay in Jaipur Old City to repair a flat tyre on my auto rickshaw gives me the opportunity to look at the pink buildings of the original city which give Jaipur it’s nickname of the Pink City and to point out the different vehicles you will see on the streets of India such as rickshaws (not called tuk tuks in India), pedalcabs, coaches and carts. The original Pink City of Rajhasthan was designed for defence and Jaipur Old City is surrounded by a wall with gateways into the other more modern suburbs of Jaipur.
Once my rickshaw drops me off I look up at the imposing ramparts of the Amber Fort, I can see that it is a long walk up to the hill to the Amber Palace and that lots of tourists choose to take an elephant ride to the Amber Fort entrance. I take the zigzagging path up the hill and negotiate my way across the constant stream of elephants heading up to the wider road to the Amber Palace and notice that the hawkers are still trying to sell their postcards and cheap souvenirs to the tourists on the elephants.
Once inside the Amber Fort I realise that this is actually a series of palaces, or a palace complex built on four levels, each palace has it’s own courtyard. The architecture is beautiful, built from red sandstone and marble and with green gardens and lake. The Amber Fort is huge and I realise that as usual it is going to take longer than I thought to wander around and see all the sights.
