Your full-day Jaipur fort tour begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel in a private AC cab. Get ready to explore the historical grandeur of Jaigarh Fort and Nahargarh Fort, two iconic hilltop forts that offer fascinating glimpses into Jaipur’s royal past.
Your first stop is Jaigarh Fort, a magnificent fortress perched on the Aravalli hills. Known as the ‘Fort of Victory,’ it was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II to protect the Amer Fort and Jaipur city. As you enter the fort, admire its imposing red sandstone walls stretching over 3 kilometers. Wander through its massive gateways, hidden passages, and underground storage chambers.
A major highlight of Jaigarh Fort is the Jaivana Cannon, the world’s largest wheeled cannon ever made. This enormous weapon was never used in battle but remains a symbol of Rajput military strength. You will also visit the armory museum, where antique weapons, swords, shields, and cannons are displayed, giving you insights into Rajasthan’s warrior heritage.
Stroll through the fort’s watchtowers, offering breathtaking views of Amer Fort and Maota Lake. The fort’s unique water conservation system, with reservoirs and channels, reflects the engineering brilliance of the Rajputs. Walk along the fort’s long corridors and courtyards, where soldiers once patrolled.
After exploring Jaigarh Fort, take a break and enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant. You can choose from a variety of dishes, including traditional, North Indian, and international cuisines.
Post-lunch, head towards Nahargarh Fort, another spectacular hilltop fort that once served as a retreat for Jaipur’s royal family. Originally built in 1734, this fort offers stunning panoramic views of Jaipur and is famous for its breathtaking sunset views.
Wander through the fort’s beautiful palaces and courtyards, particularly the Madhavendra Bhawan, which features intricate frescoes and symmetrical rooms. This palace was built as a summer retreat for Jaipur’s royals and houses separate chambers for the king and his queens.
As the sun sets, experience the golden hues of the city from the fort’s terraces. Nahargarh Fort’s scenic location makes it an ideal spot for photographers and nature lovers.
