Our first stop is the majestic Amer Fort, located in Amber and just 11 kilometers from Jaipur. This iconic fort is one of Rajasthan's most renowned landmarks, showcasing a beautiful blend of Hindu and Muslim architectural styles. Inside the fort, you can also visit the revered Shila Devi Temple and admire the intricate craftsmanship at Ganesh Pol - an ornate gate that leads to the private palaces of past kings. A must-see for anyone visiting Jaipur!
Our next stop is Panna Meena Kund, a stunning 16th-century stepwell located beneath the towering walls of a renowned fortress. This architectural marvel not only served as a water source but also provided respite from the scorching heat in ancient times.
Jal Mahal, also known as the Water Palace, is a stunning architectural wonder situated in the center of Man Sagar Lake. Originally built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber in the 18th century, both the palace and its surrounding lake underwent extensive renovations and expansion during this time period.
The Hawa Mahal is a 5-story architectural marvel, standing tall as the world's only building constructed without a foundation. Its unique curved design leans at an impressive 87-degree angle and its pyramidal shape has allowed it to stand strong for centuries. Let's delve into the rich history and fascinating features of this iconic structure.
Take a break from your busy day and treat yourself to lunch at the restaurant of your choice.
The City Palace Complex, situated within the walled city, was designed and constructed by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur. Its stunning architecture combines elements from both the Mughal and Rajput styles. To this day, it remains the residence of the last ruling royal family who occupy a private section of the palace.
The Jantar Mantar is a fascinating observatory with 19 stone instruments designed to measure the position and distance of celestial bodies. Each instrument features intricate geometric carvings, making for an impressive sight. One of its most notable structures is the Vrihat Smarat Yantra, a massive sundial located at the center of the observatory.
