Explore the Majestic Amber Fort
Your first stop is the majestic town of Amer (also spelled as “Amber”), home to the grand Amer Fort. Located 11 kilometres from Jaipur’s city centre, this fort blends Rajput and Mughal architecture, featuring intricate designs, expansive courtyards, and detailed frescoes. Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the city below.
The Hidden Gem of Amer: Panna Meena Ka Kund
Panna Meena Ka Kund is a stunning architectural marvel, known for its symmetrical criss-cross staircases and geometric patterns. Built in the 16th century, this stepwell served as both a community gathering spot and a water storage system in the arid region. Its design, along with the cool, shaded interiors, offered a refreshing escape from the desert heat.
Jal Mahal
After exploring Amer Fort and the stepwell, make your way to Jal Mahal, also known as the “Water Palace.” Situated in the centre of Man Sagar Lake, this architectural marvel appears to float on the water. A brilliant example of Rajput architecture, the palace's beauty is further enhanced by the tranquil lake surrounding it, creating a mesmerising and picturesque scene.
Royal Gaitor Tumbas
Next, head to the Royal Gaitor Tumbas, a hidden gem in Jaipur, renowned for its serene ambiance and beautiful cenotaphs (chhatris) dedicated to the city's former kings. Nestled at the foot of Nahargarh Fort, this peaceful site offers visitors a chance to reflect on Jaipur's royal history.
Hawa Mahal
Your next stop is the iconic Hawa Mahal, also known as the “Palace of Winds.” With its unique honeycomb structure, Hawa Mahal is one of Jaipur's most photographed landmarks. Built by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh in 1799, the palace was designed as a vantage point for the royal women to watch the bustling city life below, all while remaining unseen.
Jantar Mantar
Located next to the City Palace, Jantar Mantar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a must-visit for astronomy enthusiasts. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the 18th century, it features 19 instruments, including the world’s largest stone sundial.
City Palace
Conclude your Jaipur tour with a visit to the City Palace, a vast complex that includes museums, palaces, and gardens. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, it continues to serve as the residence of Jaipur's royal family.
