Easily accessed on a day trip, the Amber Fort stands proudly at the top of a large hill in Amber, around seven miles outside Jaipur. To reach the fort, you have to ascend the steep pathways, a sweaty walk of around 10 minutes. Although it is possible to take a taxi (or an elephant, but this is highly discouraged due to welfare concerns) the walk is a much better way to take in the pretty views down to Maotha lake and the Kesar Kyari Gardens below. Once at the fort, admire the gorgeous mosaics and colourful courtyards at one of Rajasthan’s stand-out architectural sights.
