Profile

Amber Fort (Hindi: आमेर क़िला, or Amer Fort) is located on a hill 11 kilometers north of Jaipur in the Rajasthan state of India. It was once the capital of the Kachhawah Rajputs, who fiercely resisted the Mughal Empire, and is now one of the most famous landmarks in the Jaipur region.

Amber Fort is constructed with red sandstone and marble. In 2007, it attracted 1.4 million visitors, averaging 5,000 people per day. In 2013, Amber Fort, as part of the hill forts of Rajasthan, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The fort is strategically located, with a moat at the base and surrounded by nearly 40 kilometers of towering city walls, standing high above the city of Jaipur. Inside the fort, the buildings consist of palaces built at different times, including the Jas Mandir, the Sukh Niwaa, the Ganesh Pol, and the Diwan-I-Am, among others.

Amber Palace is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and sought-after tourist attractions in Jaipur, offering an exceptional glimpse into the city’s rich historical architecture and cultural heritage. This stunning palace, built with a blend of Hindu and Mughal architectural styles, is a testament to Jaipur’s royal history and craftsmanship. The palace is immaculately maintained, providing visitors with an immersive experience that transports them back in time. To truly explore all the intricacies of the palace, including its beautiful courtyards, exquisite frescoes, and intricate carvings, it’s recommended to allocate at least 4 to 5 hours. Each section of the palace holds unique beauty and historical significance, making it essential not to rush through your visit.While Amber Palace is often crowded due to its popularity with tourists, taking the time to appreciate every corner of the palace is highly worthwhile. To avoid the crowds and make the most of your visit, it’s advisable to plan your trip early in the morning when it is less busy. For those looking to manage costs, local transportation options provide an affordable way to get to the palace. Additionally, be aware that food options outside the palace can be quite expensive, so it’s a good idea to plan your meals accordingly. Overall, Amber Palace is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Jaipur’s royal legacy.

Its a splendid place. You will be amazed by the Rajaputra architecture. The palace is mostly well preserved even to this day. Whatever you do there, don’t take the elephant ride please. One more caution, try to come as early as possible. Its so packed(especially the road to top) once it opens up.There is public transport buses available till here(AC1), but beware once the rush starts the buses won’t come back the same way.

One of the most amazing places to visit in Jaipur. Though it’s the biggest Fort, it’s worth the walk and visit. If in jaipur, this is one of the place u should visit. The view from the top is breath taking. The work on pillars, walls, ceilings are praise worthy. Loved this place.

Amber Fort is the crown jewel of Jaipur, known for its massive architecture and breathtaking views surrounded by hills. The moment you step inside, you’re transported back in time, feeling the royal ambiance and imagining life as it was during the reign of kings and queens.To truly enjoy the fort, set aside at least 3 hours to explore its many sections and marvel at the stunning views from the top. The lake and the garden within the fort add an extra layer of beauty to this majestic site.I highly recommend hiring a local guide who can bring the fort’s history to life, share fascinating stories, and even take you to hidden spots you might otherwise miss.Amber Fort is a must-visit, and you’ll leave with unforgettable memories of its grandeur and charm.

Astonishing and grandiose. Perhaps this is the best place to visit in Jaipur, though the eclectic vibe of the city will require you to roam the city for more places to visit.And this place is actually a fort, and with a number of connected palaces or old buildings attached or adjacent to each other within the fort walls. The entire fort is quite huge, and there are many places to visit or spots for photography as well. Once you step in to the connected buildings, you will immediately be amazed by the intricate masonry works done on the ceiling as well on the interior or exterior walls. Captivating. And the gardens, or the courtyards, are very ornate or splendid. What is surprising to me is how properly maintained the old buildings and the courtyards are, even though with a huge influx of local and international tourists.Since we did not opt for a guided tour as we were quite short in time, we were kind of lost while we were roaming around, as well as clueless about the history of the entire fort itself. I do suggest to hire a guide as the tour prices provided in the fort, I believe, are fixed (and you may need to pay a tip in the end if you’re satisfied with the service).A trip to Jaipur would not be complete without visiting the Amber Palace or the Amber Fort. Is a visit highly recommended? Such a silly question. Of course the answer is yes 

Nice place. Well maintained and has well preserved the history of the royal family and its belongings. There is a lot of walking and if you are going in hot weather, it is going to be a tough time especially if you are accompanied by young kids. Ensure you carry enough water and have a hat/cap and sunglasses. The views from the fort are mesmerizing. Overall a really nice place.
