India's Iconic 'Pink City' Is Continuously Voted One of the Best in the World

Jaipur, the capital of India's Rajasthan state, is a destination filled with beautiful palaces, a rich history, and luxury hotels. Here's how to plan the best trip.

Meena Thiruvengadam is a lifelong traveler and veteran journalist who has visited more than 50 countries across six continents. Her writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal , Departures , TripSavvy , and other publications.

Jaipur, nicknamed the Pink City, forms a key point on the Golden Triangle, the tourist circuit that connects New Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan. Jaipur's nickname is a nod to the pink buildings within its historic core, among them the iconic Hawa Mahal.

Jaipur is also continuously named one of the best cities in the world by Travel + Leisure readers . A city of sprawling palaces, it's also home to ornate architectural masterpieces and sweeping views of lush green hills and idyllic lakes. It is the first planned city in India and has earned UNESCO World Heritage status for setting an exceptional example of indigenous city planning. And its streets feel a little more manageable than the congested labyrinths of New Delhi and Mumbai, especially for first-time visitors to India.

This is a city that inspired Paul McCartney to write "Riding into Jaipur" and became the backdrop of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies. It is a place to enjoy the performing arts, to feast on sumptuous meals in the banquet halls of royalty, and to reminisce about a bygone era of Maharajas. Ride elephants and explore Mughal architecture by day and enjoy some of the world's finest hotels by night.

Jaipur is also a shopper's paradise, offering everything from fine jewelry and intricate handmade art pieces to a variety of textiles.

Visitors can fly directly into the city or take a train, bus, or private car from New Delhi. The fastest route is by high-speed train, which takes just under four hours.

Jaipur is in the Indian Standard Time Zone. Indian Standard Time is 10 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Eastern Time, and India does not observe Daylight Saving Time.

Jaipur is warm all year long, but the most comfortable time to visit the Pink City is between October and February. This is when the days are clear and breezy and when visitors can expect to find the most pleasant temperatures. Visit between March and July and you may find yourself exploring sprawling castles that pre-date air conditioning in stifling heat. During these months, temperatures in Jaipur can soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jaipur is the largest city in Rajasthan and the 10th most populated city in India. It is known as the Pink City, a nickname earned for a color elegantly woven throughout the city. Jaipur forms one point of the Golden Triangle, a tourist trail that connects New Delhi, the Taj Mahal, and Rajasthan. Jaipur is only 167 miles from New Delhi, but it is an entirely different world. Founded in 1727, Jaipur is the first planned city in India. Instead of a complicated labyrinth of roads, the city is built on a street grid that makes it easier to navigate than Delhi or Mumbai. Jaipur is a place to explore the palaces of pre-colonial India, dive deep into Indian history, and relax in world class hotels.

Trains: Jaipur has big ambitions for local transit, but it still has a ways to go in realizing them. Jaipur's metro serves an eight-mile stretch of the city and has just one operating train line. If you're looking to get around by public transit, bus is a better bet.

Buses: Jaipur operates city buses, some with air conditioning. Several tour companies offer sightseeing bus tours as well.

Taxis: Several taxi companies operate in town and many can be booked online. India's iconic yellow and green auto rickshaws also are widely available.

Ride service: Ride sharing is available through Uber and Ola in Jaipur. Taxi and private car services also are available.

"The Pink City"

Jaipur tourism.

Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan, stands as a jewel in the crown of the Golden Triangle , alongside Delhi and Agra. This enchanting city, often referred to as the "Pink City," owes its nickname to the terracotta-pink hue that adorns many of its buildings. The Pink City is a testament to the royal heritage of Rajasthan, known for its magnificent palaces, vibrant bazaars, and imposing forts.

One of the largest cities in India, Jaipur is also home to all the modern amenities with some of the most exotic hotels and resorts in the world. The city boasts an international airport and is also very well connected by rail and road. This makes Jaipur the gateway to Rajasthan - the starting point for places to visit in the interiors of the state. The city is a treasure trove of must-visit attractions, with the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) standing as an iconic symbol of Jaipur's architectural prowess. The Amber Fort , another jewel in Jaipur's crown, showcases the grandeur of Rajput architecture.  Jaipur is home to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Jantar Mantar and the City Palace .  Exploring Jaipur is incomplete without a stroll through its bustling markets. The Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar are famous for their traditional Rajasthani jewelry, textiles, and handicrafts. The city is also very well known for its local cuisine , and the most famous dishes include the Ghewar, Pyaaz Kachori and Dal Baati Churma. The city also hosts the Jaipur Literary Festival , which is Asia's biggest festival of its kind. The city's vibrant culture comes alive during festivals like Diwali and Holi , with lively processions, cultural performances, and colorful celebrations. Rajputs ruled Jaipur for many centuries and developed as a planned city in the 17th century AD. With the old city surrounded by walls and gates decorated with drawings on the backdrop of a beautiful pink hue, Jaipur, the pink city, successfully retains its old-world charm. 

Must Know Before You Travel to Jaipur

• There is a composite ticket for five of Jaipur's main attractions - Amber Fort , Albert Hall Museum , Jantar Mantar , Hawa Mahal and Nahargarh Fort . It costs INR 50 for Indians, INR 1000 for foreigners and INR 30 for foreign students. The ticket is valid for two days and can be bought from the ticket counter of any of the five monuments.
• The Old City of Jaipur is often referred to as the Pink City. It encompasses the old walled city around Hawa Mahal with a six metres high boundary wall. There are seven different gates that provide access to the Old City. The major gates are  Chand Pol, Ajmeri Gate, and Sanganeri Gate. Hawa Mahal, Jantar Mantar, City Palace, Mubarak Mahal are some of the attractions located inside the Pink City. The vibrant bazaars of Jaipur like Bapu Bazaar and Johri Bazaar are also located here.

Q. Which is the best time to travel to Jaipur? A. The winter months between November and February are the best to visit Jaipur as the temperature stays between 26 and 8 degree Celsius. The day receives plenty of warm sun, making it ideal for sightseeing while the night temperature drops with cold winds picking up. It is the best season to explore on foot or on auto-rickshaws its various palaces, forts, monuments and bazaars, and eat-out at its quaint cafes and eateries lining the old walled city. Winters are also the time for the Jaipur Literature Festival which sees a gathering of literattis from around the world. Q. Which are the most popular attractions in Jaipur? A. A trip to Jaipur is incomplete without rounding up the City Palace and Hawa Mahal. The City Palace at the heart of the Pink City was constructed originally by Maharaja Jai Singh in 1720s. The Hawa Mahal, on the other hand, was built in the 18th century with the idea of letting courtly women watch the proceedings in the market below while remaining veiled behind its jaali windows and balconies. Q. Are there direct flights from Delhi to Jaipur? A. There are direct flights from Delhi to Jaipur, taking around 1 hour to cover the distance between Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and the Jaipur International Airport. You can expect to fly aboard AirAsia, Air India, IndiGo and GoAir that have flights at a decent frequency between the two cities. Q. How is Jaipur in monsoon? A. Jaipur receives intense rains in the monsoon months that stretch between July and October. The humidity is quite high and the rains can come down at anytime of the day, derailing your travel plans. This may not be the best time to walk around or travel in auto-rickshaws because the rains can leave quite a few puddles on the road. Though there is a mystical beauty about its monuments and forts in the rains, and it may be quite stunning to view these rain-drenched landmarks from a distance, monsoon could turn out to be a not-so-ideal time to visit Jaipur. The temperature remains between 34 and 23 degree Celsius. Q. Which are some of the popular places to eat in Jaipur? A. Niro’s on MI Road is a popular restaurant serving North Indian food outside of a smattering of Continental and Chinese. The queues gather outside it for its rendition of Rogan Josh and Butter Chicken. Don’t miss a visit to Hotel Pearl Palace’s Peacock Rooftop Restaurant, always crowded especially on weekends and serving a lavish multi-cuisine fare. Rajasthani thalis at lunchtime are quite the favourite here. Pandit Kulfi is your address for some paan or chocolate-flavoured kulfis. No better place than the Indian Coffee house to get your fill of filter coffee and some crisps. Q. What is Galta famous for? A. About 3 kilometre to the east of Jaipur is the steep valley home to the temples of Galta. Galta has two tanks filled by freshwater springs that creep in through the rocks on which a colony of monkeys depend for their survival. There are an assortment of shrines in Galta including those of Lord Hanuman, Lord Krishna and Lord Rama. To the top of the ridge is the Surya Mandir that affords majestic view of the city spread out below. Q. Can I do an elephant ride to Amber Fort? A. It is the primary attraction of Jaipur built of pink and pale yellow sandstone and white marble. You can get into the fort on an elephant back and feel like a royal. You also have the choice of taking a 4WD to the top. Enter through Suraj Pol and pass its main courtyard, Jaleb Chowk, further from which you can take a staircase leading to the main palace. View the silver doors of the Siladevi Temple, head to Diwan-i-Am and view the intricate latticed galleries. See the Maharaja’s quarters, the fresco details and all the other adornments. Hire the services of a guide to get some fascinating anecdotes. Q. Can I visit the Nahargarh Fort on a trip to Jaipur? A. It is about 15 kilometre from Jaipur and was built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II as a defence for the city of Jaipur. You can catch a spectacular sunset from the fort ramparts. The ramparts of the fort extend for nearly a kilometre before going round in a step-well. View the palace apartments in the old fort which housed the concubines of Madho Singh II in the late 19 th century. From the parking, you need to undertake a 20 minute walk uphill to reach the fort. Stop for some sandwich and coffee at the RSTC Padao Restaurant affording stunning views over Jaipur city. Q. Is it okay to visit Jaipur in summer? A. The summer months between March and June in Jaipur must be avoided like plague. The mercury shoots well over 40 degree Celsius and makes the days sweltering hot with heat waves lasting for the better part of the day. It is not all the time to venture on the streets, browse the bazaars of the walled city, or explore its forts and palaces. You will find extreme discomfort in pursuing sightseeing in this season, though the hotels get quite cheap. Sundown may be a good time to unwind at its many cafes and restaurants, but most major attractions are shut by then. Q. Which is the best place to shop in Jaipur? A. A souvenir shopper’s paradise, head to Bapu Bazaar in Pink City for purchasing all manner of textiles from block-prints to tie-and-dye. Beyond Zorawar Gate are emporiums selling wall-art and embroidered textiles. Amber Road is the place to pick up blue pottery bits such as vases, crockery, tiles and candle-stands. Shop for silver jewellery from Johari Bazaar and Chameliwala Market, the latter is also home to one of the city’s best collection of gemstones.

The Leela Palace Jaipur

This palace hotel, a reincarnation of the royal mahals of Jaipur, is located in tranquil environs away from the hustle and bustle of the city. My experience with Leela Palace Jaipur was in this genre amongst my top 10 in Asia, through all my journeys over the last 12 years. The hotel is just beautiful, with a fantastic outdoor pool area and a choice of several excellent restaurants. My room was a Royal villa, which held a very high standard and with a lovely private courtyard outside. I also had a dedicated butler at my service. The most outstanding about this hotel though is the high level of service from the hotel staff. The staff are extremely kind and service minded and they put a lot of effort in to let you have a pleasant stay. Every person from the staff would deserve to have their names mentioned, but I will give extra gratitude to Bhavneet (my butler), the lovely Ms Minakshi, Ms Luma, Adithya and Deepa. My deepest thanks to all of you! I hope to return with my family for Christmas.

The property also has a magnificent rooftop bar that's a good place to view the sunset. I would love to go back! The staff was also extremely helpful and accommodating.

The capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur, is the concentre of innumerable stories of valour, courage and Rajputana honour. A stroll in the streets of Jaipur, brings to you, a different part of the city that one might not realise as they consider the modern houses and schools that overtly represent the city’s base.

The one that is vehemently different from all others. Jaipur was built in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II and has derived its name from the founder. One of the finest monuments & key attraction of Jaipur is the Amber Fort which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2013 in the category of ‘Hillforts of Rajasthan’.

Amber Fort is the perfect example to suggest how Jaipur’s history is not restricted simply to the acts of valour by its kings and soldiers, but also extends to the patronage of architecture and science, as reflected in the construction of this marvellous fort and also the entire city.

Famously known as the Pink City, Jaipur is surrounded by hills on three sides which made it an ideal location for the capital of the Rajputana empire. Jaipur, as part of the ancient kingdom, was ruled by the Kachhwaha clan of Rajput. They had been in an alliance with the Mughals over their common rivalry with the Sisodia clan of Rajput.

Jaipur was, historically, India’s first planned city. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh patronised the construction of the city as per traditional Rajputana architectural style. Vidyadhar Bhattacharya, the chief architect from Bengal was responsible for ensuring that the layout of the city was based on the principles of Shilpa Shastra, the same principles were also followed during the construction of Amber Fort. The primarily important buildings were built of sandstone, which is found in abundance in the state.

About amber fort.

Amber fort or Amer Fort is located at about eleven kilometres north of the city of Jaipur along the NH-8. The fort was constructed on the Kalikho hills formed by the Aravalli ranges. The fort was tactically built amidst the Aravalli ranges along with the Maotha lake and the Sagar lake. Numerous points along NH-8 provide a breathtaking view of the fort as it is mirrored simultaneously in the Maotha Lake.

The fort was established in the 16th century by the Kachhwaha rulers but only after they had destroyed the older structures that had been constructed by the Meena clan. The primary attractions in the fort are: (a) Diwan-e-Am (b)Diwan-e-Khas (c)Ganesh Pol (d)Jaleb Chowk (e)Singh Pol (f)Jai Mandir (g)Yash Mandir (h)Sukh Mandir (i) Sheesh Mahal (j)Suhag Mandir (k)Sila Devi Temple (l)Bhool Bhulaiya and (m)Zanana Dyodhi.

History of Amber Fort

The construction of the Amer fort first began with Raja Bharmal and Raja Man Singh I in 1558. The fort was completed over a period of two centuries after the consistent efforts of three kings, finally ending in 1727 by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II. Amer fort was designated as the new residence for the royal family as opposed to the older establishment of Jaigarh Fort.

However, both the Amer and Jaigarh forts are often considered to be a single establishment due to the common passageway that runs between them. The Jaigarh fort was a retreat for the royal family as well as their attendants in times of war. The Jaigarh fort was also known as the Kadimi Mahal or the “old palace”.

Amber was earlier known as Dhundar and had been the capital of the Meena clan. The Kachhwaha rulers seized it from the Meenas and began the construction of the Amer fort in the 1600s. There are multiple etymologies provided so far for the name “Amber”.

Multiple stories include it being named after Ambikeshwar, the title of Lord Shiva, whose symbolic representation, the linga, was placed in a lake in the center of the Amber. The Jain inscriptions of the 16th and 17th centuries talk about the derivation of the name from the name of Goddess Ambavati. Another tale claims that the name was derived from Amba, the universal mother.

Although there exists no inscription validating the fact that a war was fought by the Kachwaha and the Meena's during which the settlement came under the Kachhwaha rule, however, according to a popular folklore, Dhola Rae, the adopted nephew of Raja Alan Singh, the then ruler of Amber, slaughtered the Meena clan on the day of Diwali.

The Kachhwaha clan is believed to be the descendants of Kush, the second son of Lord Ram. One of his descendants was Raja Nal, whose son, Raja Sora Singh was killed in a war. His widow was found plucking wild berries by a Brahmin who, after looking at the baby, predicted a bright future. She then sought refuge in the kingdom of Khogong, presently known as Amber, which was led by Raja Alan Singh.

He adopted her as his sister and the child, Dhola Rae as his nephew. At the age of 14, Dhola Rae was sent to Delhi to learn about politics. Upon his return, he brought his own army of Kachhwahas to claim the throne of Amber. According to a ritual called Pitra Tarpan, the Meenas had to set their weapons aside and taking advantage of this opportunity, they were attacked and the settlement of Amber came under the Kachhwaha rulers.

The construction of the fort first began in 967 AD with Raja Man Singh I of the Meena dynasty, however, almost all the structures built by the Meenas were demolished before new construction began in the 16th century. The fort was constructed out of red sandstone and white marble which represents a blend of the Hindu elements along with a Mughal influence.

Another seeming example of this amalgamation can be seen on the wall engravings which include Mughal flower motifs along with images of Lord Krishna’s life and the depiction from Ramayana. The fort is divided into four levels, each with its own courtyard. The core layout of the fort is as follows:

First Courtyard

The sun gate or the Suraj Pol was named so because of its positioning. The gateway faces east and therefore, witnesses the sunrise in the morning. Entering from the Suraj Pol, one reaches the Jaleb Chowk. Rulers along with the soldiers entered through here with their procession after the war.

This courtyard was where the soldiers celebrated their victories under the commander of the army, known as Fauj Baksh. Women viewed the celebrations from the windows, called Jharokhas.

On the right of the Jaleb Chowk is the Sila Devi temple. The temple has intricate marble carvings along with a double door entrance that is covered with silver. The idol inside the temple was presented to Raja Man Singh by the ruler of Jessore, Bengal in 1604 after their defeat.

Animals were sacrificed in front of the temple on the eighth day of Navratri as a ritual, however, this ritual was eventually banned recently. Above the gateway was the Suhag Mandir where only the royal women were allowed to offer their prayers.

Second Courtyard

A stairway from the first courtyard led to the second courtyard which housed the Diwan-e-Am and the Diwan-e-Khas, i.e., the House of the commons and the House of the Officials respectively. There were 27 evenly divided columns on a raised platform, with an elephant-shaped motif at the top of each pillar.

In the Diwan-e-Am, the rulers listened to and addressed the problems faced by the common people, whereas, the Diwan-e-Khas was restricted for official state policy matters only and concerns regarding to taxes, revenue, security etc. were discussed here with a very select audience, restricted only to the ministers of the concerned subjects. Atop Diwan-e-Khas was the Jai Mandir which was decorated with floral glass tiles, representative of the Mughal influence.

Third Courtyard

Entering from the Ganesh Pol, one comes across the residence of the royal family members and their attendants. The walls are covered with mosaic and engraved sculptures. This courtyard houses the famous Sheesh Mahal built by Raja Man Singh II in 1727. Victories and festivals were celebrated here.

The walls of Sheesh Mahal were covered with concave mirrors due to which, the entire palace was illuminated by just a few candles. Opposite Sheesh Mahal was the Sukh Mahal which had a sandalwood door. The building was largely air-conditioned due to the channels built along the walls.

These pipes were regularly supplied with water from the Maotha Lake. Above the gate is an engraving of the Magic Flower. It could, however, be viewed only after the panel had been partially hidden.

The palace of Raja Man Singh I is also situated in the third courtyard and is the oldest structure of the court. It was completed in 1599 and had taken over 25 years to be completed. The exit from this palace had a direct route heading towards the town of Amer.

Fourth Courtyard

As you enter from the Tripolia gate, located in the western part of the fort, the Zanana Dyodhi can be witnessed. This area is intentionally secluded from the rest of the fort. Zanana Dyodhi was the residence of the queens, their mothers, and their attendants. This structure was constructed in a unique way.

No one could see the king enter the Zanana Dyodhi and if he stayed with one of his queens, the others would not be aware of it. This was achieved due to its structure. Zanana Dyodhi had a long corridor with smaller corridors leading to the different rooms of the queens.

As has been mentioned before, the fort had a unique blend of the Hindu elements from the Shilpa Shastra and Mughal influence. This was evident from the fact that while the Ganesh Pol, had elaborated and detailed paintings, on the other hand, the Sheesh Mahal was the adaptation of Mughal architectural pieces like jharokhas and jalis all inlaid with mirrors, the garden of the palace of Man Singh resembling the Chahar Bagh etc. These were also, sometimes, seen as the symbol of a political alliance.

Landscape Intelligence of Amber Fort

The positioning of forts, palaces, temples, gardens etc in relation to the lakes, ponds, rivers, and step-wells are examples of the brilliance of architecture, power, knowledge, grandeur and the defence technology that the Rajput rulers possessed. The structure of the Amer Fort is reflective of the defensive nature for which the “Garh” was built.

The fort was built according to the principles of Shilpa Shastra. Among the six fort structures explained, Amer fort abides by the specifications of the Giri Durg or the hill fort, considered to be the strongest among all. Further classification leads us to categorise it as Prather Giri Durg, in essence, fortification on the plain of the hill summit. This can be stated due to the following specifications that the fort pays heed to:

Ditch: A wide ditch around the lake is dug for protection from direct enemy attack. In the case of Amer Fort, the Maotha lake and the Sagar lake served the dual purpose of not only providing water for the residents of the fort, but also of restricting the enemy from entering the fort beyond a certain point.

Fortified walls: Generally, a large area was constructed within the fortified boundary of the Garh that served as a retreat for the residents of the fort in times of war. The Jaigarh fort was connected to the Amer fort through a secret passage and therefore, functioned as a retreat.

The landscape surrounding the fort was not beneficial only for defensive and offensive purposes at the time of war, but also for providing a resort for the members of the royal family. They could find a recreational space as they saw the scenic views of the landscape from the specific points created for them, such as jharokhas, jalis, chhatri, and terraces.

Hydrology at Amer Fort

At a time when the collection and storage of water was a major source of concern due to the lack of many of the technologies that we have today, the architect of the Amer fort ensured that no such problem was faced by the residents of the Garh.

Maotha was an artificial lake created to function as a water reservoir. The water was collected in the lake from the nearby hills through specially formed channels. The process of lifting water from the lake and transporting it to the fort was carried out in three stages:

• Water travelled from the lake to a large tank positioned at the bottom of the fort through clay pipes. The tanks allowed the water to be desilted and aerated.
• The water was lifted to the upper tanks using pulleys and filled into smaller tanks.
• The water was lifted through the Persian wheel fitted with a number of earthenware buckets.

A similar process was followed in the Jaigarh fort as well. Water was carried from the Sagar lake manually. Steps were created from the lake to the fort and people carried water in earthen pots. The pots were passed from one person to another who was stationed on a higher step.

The water was filled into a huge tank and was then lifted with the help of a pulley. The water was then allowed to pass through a bed of canals that had a gradient yet undulating slope that allowed the sand to settle while also letting the water to have a swift course.

The Current Position

Amber was eventually abandoned by the Kachhwaha rulers as a shift of the capital was thought off from Amber to Jaipur in 1727 by Raja Sawai Jai Singh II. The capital was shifted since Jaipur was considered to be strategically better located allowing the rulers to oversee the frontiers of their kingdom while also ensuring that an attack on them was not as easy.

However, Amber was not completely abandoned. The existence of a trade route connecting Gujarat kept the city alive and, in some ways, also helped in the sustenance of the Amber Fort, which escaped the fate that many of the other abandoned forts faced over the course of time.

Jaipur was amongst the few kingdoms that never came under direct British rule. Although the royal family continues to reside in Jaipur, the fort of Amber has been completely opened for all tourism functions. The Amber Fort is a large contributor to the revenue generated from tourism in Amber. It alone entails one-third of the tourist revenue. According to an estimate, approximately forty crore rupees has been spent on its restoration so far.

Although movies had earlier been filmed in the fort, the High Court of Rajasthan condemned the filming of movies and further went ahead and restricted such acts after considerable damage was inflicted upon the monument during the shoot of a Bollywood movie. Today, Amber Fort is ranked as one of the top tourist attractions of Rajasthan and was included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2013.

The history of Amber Fort along with its architectural designs, engravings, technological aspects, and cultural embodiments speak volumes about the royal Rajputs than we are presently, and more commonly, aware of. Yes, it speaks about the valour, courage, passion, and pride of the Rajputs, but that is not what it is restricted to.

It also talks about the brilliance and knowledge of architecture, their political alliances with the Mughals and the impact of this alliance. The defence techniques used were reflected in their architecture as well. The history also mirrors the relations that the various Rajput clans and dynasties had with each other.

Tourism at Amer Fort

Amber Fort is one the major tourist attractions of Jaipur currently. One can avail either the day or the night tour. While the day tour’s splendour can be experienced through the elephant rides that start from the bottom of the hill and lead right up to the fort, the night tour has a radiance of its own.

As the daylight fades away, the yellow bulbs assisted by the moonlight come to the rescue of Amber fort. Although the fee of night tours is higher than those of day tours, the dazzle of the night tours is beguiling and beyond compare. What looks like an abandoned palace in the day is naturally restored to its original grandeur at night.

The tours can be accompanied with by a guide who takes one to every nook and cranny of the palace and introduces the history of the fort with specific details about the carvings and engravings on the walls. One can drive up to the bottom of the hill and either walk up to the fort or experience the royal pomp and ride up to the fort on an elephant.

Sound & Light Show at Amber Fort

Another interesting activity during the night tours is attending the light and sound show. You move away from the fort and are seated at a location which is rightly distanced from the fort to give you a complete view of it.

The light and sound show includes the local folklores, tales and myths and slowly accelerate to the history of the fort itself. It reads the chronicles of the kings and the sagas of the wars that were fought. Assimilate the glory of the Rajputana and the royal lives they led.
