    History

    Amer Fort was built in the late 16th century by Raja Man Singh I, a Rajput king and a trusted general of Mughal emperor Akbar. It served as the main residence of the Rajput rulers for several centuries. The fort's construction spanned over 100 years, with subsequent rulers adding to its grandeur. It witnessed significant historical events, including battles and royal ceremonies. The fort's strategic location on a hilltop provided a defensive advantage. Over time, it evolved into a complex of palaces, halls, gardens, and temples. Today, Amer Fort stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess of the Rajput dynasty.

    A must visit place if you’re visiting Jaipur. The best fort/palace to see. Very well maintained. Early evening is a good time to visit so you can witness the sunset as well as the night light show. It’s better to take a tour guide to know more about the history of the place. Ample parking space where you can get tour guides and jeeps to go up to the fort.

    UNESCO World Heritage Hilltop Fort, notable for its large ramparts, series of gates and cobbled paths, and a commanding views of its surroundings. Well worth a visit. Fortunately there are jeeps that takes you up to the entrance of the fort. Unfortunately, lots of visitors with the same idea and narrow roads don't make a winning combination.

    A nice fort that is worth visiting. When first arriving there, locals try to scam you that you can’t go up on foot and offer you a car, which is a lie. The path going up is pretty normal. Inside the area there are many beautiful views and details. The place lacks signs so sometimes it’s very confusing which way is better to go first. Overall I recommend this place

    Amber Fort is the crown jewel of Jaipur, known for its massive architecture and breathtaking views surrounded by hills. The moment you step inside, you’re transported back in time, feeling the royal ambiance and imagining life as it was during the reign of kings and queens. To truly enjoy the fort, set aside at least 3 hours to explore its many sections and marvel at the stunning views from the top. The lake and the garden within the fort add an extra layer of beauty to this majestic site. I highly recommend hiring a local guide who can bring the fort’s history to life, share fascinating stories, and even take you to hidden spots you might otherwise miss. Amber Fort is a must-visit, and you’ll leave with unforgettable memories of its grandeur and charm.
