"Amazing Amber Fort" Amber Fort Tip by PeteG

The Amber Fort is just outside of Jaipur high up on a hillside and was built originally in the 16th century.

Within the walls are magnificant entrance gates, gardens, fantastically decorated walls, and amazing carvings. This is such a stunning place, you could spend a whole day there and not got bored. The views of the surrounding area are worth the climb up the step hill.

You have 3 options on methods of travel. 1, walk up. It takes about 15 minutes but the path is step. 2, jeep some of the way then walk, or 3, take an Elephant taxi! These are extremely popular but sometimes the queue for one will be more than an hour long. The elephants are very well looked after and only do a specified number of trips before returning to the elephant stables for a well earned rest.
