Amer fort

Amer was the capital of the Kingdom of Jaipur and home to the Rajput rulers. Maharaja Man Singh I, who commanded the army of the Mughal emperor Akbar, began building in 1592 on the remains of an 11th century fortress. The fort was added to Amber Fort before the city moved to Jaipur in 1727. The fort was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013 as part of a group of six mountain forts in Rajasthan. Architecture is a major combination of Rajput (Hindu) and Mughal (Islamic) styles.

 

A popular way to reach the top of Amber Fort is to ride an elephant from Jaleb Chowk Station. However, due to elephant health concerns, some tourists have now decided not to do so. You have to pay 1200-1500 INR rupees  (which will take two people at the same time) for an elephant ride. There are also morning bus rides from 7:00 to 11:30 and afternoon rides. However, he was abandoned in November 2017 so that the elephant could rest. Please arrive as soon as possible due to high demand and lack of advance booking.

Upon arrival at Amer Fort, enter Suraj Pol. If you do not drive, enter via Chand Pol. Two gates opened to the main airport, Jaleb Chowk, who used the returning soldiers to report his thieves.
