No.9 of Best Things to Do in Jaipur

Historic buildings

Jaygarh Fort is located on the hill near Amber Fort. This fort built on the hill has strong military defense facilities and has resisted the attacks of foreign invaders again and again in history. It is also because of this castle that the whole of Jaipur is known for its invincibility, which means "City of Victory" in the local language. Jaygarh Fort was planned by Jay Singh I but was completed during the reign of Jay Singh II. It only opened to the public in 1983, so it still retains much of its original appearance. There are many watchtowers above this old castle, and it was a great fortification of the 18th century that was never taken. Unlike other ancient castles, which only use the empty shelves of some palaces, there is a reservoir, residential areas, a puppet theater and the largest wheeled cannon in the world - JayaVana.

Don’t forget to visit the Jaigargh Fort when in Jaipur

If you’re heading to #jaipur then you have to stop by the forts there! The Nahargargh, Jaigargh and Amber Fort are all nearby each other and should definitely be visited. (This post is about Jaigargh only, please look at the other posts for the other two forts). How to get there? You can book an ola or uber for each ride but it would be more convenient to rent out a cab for 8 hours for about 2000rs. Doing such, you have enough time to get to all three forts and take enough pictures.

Mesmerising Details at Amber Fort

One of the gates in #amerfort called #ganeshpole or #ganeshgate. I fell for the meticulous artworks of this entrance. Notice the small window? It is known as Suhag Mandir where ladies of the royals used to watch functions held in the Diwan-i-Am through the latticed windows #theguidetoldus anyway, apart from pale yellow & pink sandstone, the magnificent #amerfort #amberfort is also made up of glowing white marble. from the turkish bath, the diwan, the chamber and everything in between. as you look up to the ceiling, to your right, left and beneath your feet, every detailing was just mesmerising and we had so much fun appreciating the beauty of this place #tripblazers #mytripvlog

Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, India

Jaigarh fort is not that famous as Amer fort. Except the biggest Cannon there is nothing much to watch. If you are a history lover & want to explore about ancient time then it will be good for you. You can walk along the magnificent walls of the fort and get a very good view from there. But except for the huge cannon and the view there is the nothing much to see. You either visit this or Nahargarh fort. Visiting both is not really worth it if you are on a tight schedule of day or 2 in Jaipur. This is usually deserted a little compared to Amer fort. So monkeys fill the space. Beware of the monkey menace. I recommend carrying a stick with you while walking along the fort walls just in case you encounter monkeys #passionpassport

Amer Fort, Jaipur - India

Among the famous forts in Jaipur overlooking Maota Lake, stands the majestic Amber or Amer Fort , which was inhabited by the Rajput royals until Jaipur was established. Perching up on the hill, this fort can be reached by a jeep ride or an elephant ride. It opens its doors to the perfect blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture which shows the grandeur of yesteryears with its elaborate mirror work. Some of the places to visit here are the Shila Mata temple, Jas Mandir and the splendid Sheesh Mahal. Brilliant paintings, stone and mirror works are exceptional here. One has to stay back till evening when the fort comes to life with its sound and light show which is impressive and enthralling.
