  On the elephant

Favorite thing: You climb this old palace on elephants, a nice experience. The palace is interesting and the views from above phantastic!!

The Amber Fort, in Jaipur, was the Kachhawaha citadel until 1727. It was established in 1592 by Man Singh I on the remains of an 11th century fort. Rulers came here on important occasions to seeks the blessings of the family deity, Shila Devi.
