The interior of the fort is stunningly beautiful and captivating whereas exterior is imposing and rugged. The Maota lake in the foreground adds an illusionary effect. The first exciting thing in the fort is its ramp which takes tourists to the palace. This can be climbed up by jeep or elephants. There are numbers of elephants which carry visitors to and fro the fort and the ride is really exciting.
Attractions of the Fort.
Once we enter in the fort the view is panoramic. The main entry from Suraj Pol takes to the Jaleb Chowk, the main courtyard. Just right to it is Kali temple a beautiful temple made by Raja Man Singh.
Diwan – i – Aam and Diwan –i- Khas display the beautiful Rajput and Mughal architecture. In Diwan – i – Aam (hall of public audience) the maharaja held audience and received petitions of his subject. Diwan – i- Khas (hall of private audience), sukh Niwas, Jai Mandir and Jas mandir are famous for their mirror work, murals and carving.
Ganesg Pol is another imposing gate way decorated with mosaic and sculpture with typical Rajasthani tinge.
Another attractions of the fort is the old Amber palace. It lies at the base of the Jaigarh Fort. The remains here tells the story of bygone era.
The zenana around the fourth courtyard are cleverly designed so that the Maharaja could embark on his nocturnal visits to his wives and concubines' respective chambers without the others knowing.
It should be mentioned here that the fort was initiated by Raja Man Singh and completed by Jai Singh and thus it shows beautiful Rajput and Mughal architecture.
Jaipur attracts tourists across the globe and Amber Fort is something which they never miss in any of the Rajasthan tour.
Getting there.
There are frequent buses to Amber from near the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur. Plenty of auto rickshaw and taxis are available from Jaipur town to get there.
