Amer Fort

Amer Fort, also called Amber Fort, is a grand hill fort located just outside Jaipur. It is built using yellow and pink sandstone along with white marble, making it look royal and amazing from far away.

The fort is divided into beautiful courtyards, gardens, temples, and halls. One of the most famous spots inside is the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), where thousands of tiny mirrors shine brightly even with a single candle’s light. The Ganesh Pol gate and the stunning architectural details show how artistic the royal craftsmen were.

Visitors can reach the fort by jeep, car, or elephant ride, enjoying the scenic view along the way. From the top, you can see the beautiful Maota Lake and the surrounding hills, which make the fort look even more majestic.

In the evening, a light and sound show is held that tells the history of the fort in a dramatic and entertaining way. Amer Fort is a place where you can experience the royal life of Rajput kings and admire the pride of Rajasthan.
