If you have time and minding the fact that this place is close to Amber Fort I guess one should see it too.

This is a very good fort pretty close to Amber fort. From a tourist point of view, this is definitely second best to Amber where there are better views, better things to do and better interiors. The approach is through winding roads as the fort is atop a hill as usual. The interesting thing is that they allow you to... More

i actually like it more than Taj Mahal of Agra... you see the intelligence of the kings of India and how tactfully they've got the forts made... they have tkaen care of the smallest of the things for their wives comfort and for their employees!! worth seeing!! its fabulous!!

A steep, but nice walk up the hill, but well worth for the views. Nice rooms and decoration inside the palace.

Spent around 2 hrs here, took 10Rp bus from Jaipur. Walked up from outside Amber Fort (very SMALL signpost). Fort is not very impressive and in poor repair. Can see Amber with the lake in front. Pink and craggy it is a huge building. I enjoyed the Garden at Amber end which was 'closed' - superb views! Good day out.

Not such a popular place to visit as it was primarily a miltary fort. Our guide mentioned that it houses the largest canon in the world and, as a chap, I just had to see it despite my wife!! Just amazing - huge, it had a 100Kg shot but was only test fired once. There is a palace there which... More
