Review & FAQ:

The famous Amber Fort (aka Amer Fort) dates back to the 16th century and is located about seven miles outside Jaipur. The beautiful fort was built using red and white sandstone and demonstrates the use of both Rajput and Hindu style architecture, adorned with a mixture of Hindu and Muslim style ornamentation. You can tour the fort at your own pace with the help of an audio guide (English or Hindi) – there are several different beautifully decorated halls to admire, including the beautiful Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Hall). The evening Light Show lasts about 50 minutes and tells the story of the history of the fort and Jaipur city.

You can also visit the museum and formal gardens or take an elephant-back ride around the Amber Fort.
