The pink city Jaipur (State: Rajasthan) has several forts and palaces. Here Jaigarh Fort built in 1726 is perched on a cliff and has a rugged structure with huge fort walls. This fort offers incredible aerial view of the Amber Fort and palace.
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.
Nice pictures Rajesh!
Luvly pictures rajesh. When at amber fort, I saw the Jaigarh fort, but skipped it due to lack of time. Big mistake.
Brilliant!
I was there sometime in April 2005 and loved the place!
Truly iconic!
These forts are very impressive, and the scenery is absolutely stunning.

It's very interesting to see these forts in context. I think they must have provided good protection.
