The view from the top provides impressive views over a deep narrow valley and the wider plains beyond.
Built in 1592, the Amber Fort is one of the finest examples of Rajput architecture. The fort that sprawls along the Maotha Lake, is composed of a massive complex gateways, courts, stairways and pillared pavilions, and palaces.
During my short visit to Jaipur, I could only visit Jaigarh fort. I missed the Amber fort.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Rajesh!
Luvly pictures rajesh. When at amber fort, I saw the Jaigarh fort, but skipped it due to lack of time. Big mistake.
