Jaipur Literature Festival 2026 Registration and Passes

A Guide to Jaipur Literature Festival 2026 Registration and Passes

Now there is a very nominal charge; and an even lower one for schoolchildren. This makes it an extraordinary space where Nobel laureates, established, new and aspiring writers, onlookers and schoolchildren can all come together, connected by curiosity and an interest in if not love for literature.

All you have to do to be a part of this confluence is sign up. Knowing the various pass types is the threshold to shaping your ideal festival experience. Here is a simple guide to registration for the lit fest jaipur 2026.

From the Maha Kumbh of Ideas to Your Peaceful Sanctuary

After a  day of vigorous engagement with ideas and controversy, the soul needs somewhere quiet… to rest, meditate and breathe.

This is the peace that Savista Retreat, a countryside heritage boutique hotel that is committed to the philosophy of slow, sustainable travel, offers. 

We are your countryside haven, just 40 minutes drive away from the frenetic energy of the festival. Set amidst tree-filled grounds consisting of gardens, fields and an organic farm, it is a place where you can stretch your legs, jog around the property, lie in a hammock, enjoy the abundant bird life, savour  freshly-made meals that use organically grown ingredients sourced directly from the farm and, generally, reconnect with yourself, and with what really matters.

Make Savista your home while you are on a cultural visit to Jaipur!
