Are US Dollars and other currencies easily exchanged for Indian Rupees in Jaipur?
Pound Sterling, US Dollars or other major currencies can be exchanged only in India, as the Rupee, India's currency, is presently exchangeable only in destination. The Rupee is non-exportable, so spend it all before you leave. You can find plenty of exchange offices spread throughout Jaipur. It's advisable to request bank notes in smaller denominations, as it can sometimes be hard to get change from large notes and smaller notes are handy for smaller purchases and gratuities. Important notice: In December 2016, the Indian government issued new 500 and 2,000 rupee notes. Please be aware that some older notes remain in circulation and will not be accepted as legal tender. Make sure that any notes you receive in change or other transactions are of the new currency.
