Situated on a small hillock, the imposing Amber Fort overlooks the 'pink city' of Jaipur. Its construction was started by Raja Man Singh in 1592 AD, but was finally completed by Sawai Jai Singh in the eighteenth century. Formerly the ancient capital of the state of Jaipur, this architectural marvel is a perfect blend of Rajput and Mughal forms of architecture. Massive gateways, pavilions and archways adorn the Amber Fort, which is the most famous tourist attraction of Jaipur. In fact you should not let the tough exterior of the fort deceive you because the Amber Fort houses some of the most beautiful palaces and gardens, the beautiful Sheesh Mahal being one such example. Beautiful painting scenes with carvings and exquisite mirror work adorn the walls of the palaces within the Amber Fort. Some of the old temples are also worth having a look at.

The aura of bravery and romance pervade the entire Amber Fort, which seems to reverberate with tales of its heroic past. Visiting this fort not only answers many questions about Jaipur's history but also makes an ever-lasting impression on our minds.

If you visit the Amber Fort, don't forget to treat yourself to an elephant ride that takes you to the very entrance of this high structure.
