Jaipur's Amer Fort

Jaipur's sights journey will be incomplete without a stop at the magnificent Amer Fort and Palace. Amer Fort, the most abundant of Jaipur's forts, embodies architectural brilliance and royal splendour. The fort's opulent palace is constructed on four floors.

This magnificent structure is adorned with a mosaic of gleaming mirrors and glass inlaid along the walls and ceiling. You can also get an elephant ride or shop for souvenirs inside the fort.

Jaipur's Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort, perched atop the Cheel ka Teela or Hill of Eagles, is one of Jaipur's most interesting attractions. The opulent fort features courtrooms, triple arch gateways, temples, parks, an armoury chamber, and a central watchtower with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The Jaivana cannon is the fort's biggest attraction. It once held the record for holding the world's largest cannon on wheels. It still stands proudly inside the Jaigarh Fort today.

Jaipur's Nahargarh Fort

For nearly 300 years, the Nahargarh Fort has stood watch over Jaipur. Along with the Jaigarh Fort and the Amer Fort, it was once part of Jaipur's incredible defensive ring. This fort was used as a hunting retreat by the Jaipur royal family. The fortification walls of Nahargarh Fort reached beyond the fortification walls of Jaigarh Fort, linking the two forts. A visit to Nahargarh will also provide you with stunning views of Jaipur.

Jaipur's Jal Mahal

Jal Mahal, a grand five-story palace in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake, is another jewel in Jaipur's crown. When the lake is complete, however, four of these stories remain submerged. Just the palace's top storey is visible above the water, giving the impression that it is floating on the lake. The architecture of the palace is in the Rajput style. It was once the king of Jaipur's duck hunting retreat. Visitors are currently barred from entering the Jal Mahal. However, you can appreciate its elegance by taking a leisurely boat ride on Man Sagar Lake and seeing the palace up close.
