Program details

Begin the tour by visiting the Amber Fort. The Amber Fort is situated on a ridge just outside Jaipur City and is beautifully reflected in the lake below. Inside the fort, you will encounter the world-renowned Jai Mandir temple with its dazzling Sheesh Mahal hall of mirrors. The walls and the ceiling of the Mahal are covered with a beautiful array of mirrors, which reflect any streak of light, illuminating the entire room.



Then continue your visit to Jaigarh Fort. Well placed at the peak of Aravalli hills, Jaigarh Fort offers a magnificent view of Amber Fort as well as the view of the entire city of Jaipur. Sawan Jai Singh II, was the main visionary behind the construction of the Fort and it was built to protect the Amber Fort of Jaipur. Miniatures painted on the walls depict hunting and war scenes, apart from festivals. Precious stones and mirrors are embedded in the plaster. The imposing Jaigarh Fort built by Jai Singh in 1726 commands a fine view of the plains. The fort has a small museum, the largest wheeled canon in the world and three huge water tanks.
