 Forts in Jaipur

1. Amber Fort

Amber fort was one of the pillars of the Kachwahas of Amer. It was beautifully and effectively reinforced by stone walls and elegantly decorated in a synthesis of Mughal and Hindu forms of architecture. The palace's interior is decorated with carvings and paintings, is set with priceless stones, and has several spectacular staircases. Amber Fort, one of the largest forts of the 16th century, is incredibly well-liked for its extensive history and magnificence and is arguably one of the town's most well-known landmarks. The best time to visit any of these Rajasthani forts is from September to March because the city is beautiful in the fall and winter.

2. Nahargarh Fort

The fort is a significant architectural landmark in the city and is situated in Aravali Hill around 6 kilometres from the centre. The roof terrace of this fort, which is accessible to all visitors, offers a panoramic view of the city and is one of its main attractions. Along with Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort, this fort served as a defence for the Pink City. Later, the fort was transformed into a place for refuge.

3. Jaigarh Fort

The fort was constructed by Jai Singh and is located on a promontory known as the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) of the Aravalli range. Its architectural style is similar to Amber fort. The Jaigarh Fort's surrounding ramparts are stunning, seemingly barren, and terrifyingly strong. Sawai Jai Singh II constructed the palace and fort in an effort to prevent enemy attacks on his city. Nearly a trifecta of forts—the Amer, Jaigarh, and Nahargarh—were constructed to defend the city from assaults and invasions. If you're nearby, it's worth taking in the Jaigarh Fort's breathtaking splendour and panoramic vista. The fact that the fort is home to the largest cannon on wheels in the world, known as the Javiana cannon.

4. Kumbhalgarh Fort

The second-most significant Mewar fort after Chittorgarh Fort is Rana Kumbha's Hill Forts of Rajasthan, a World Heritage Site. Rana Kumbha was a Mewar from Rajasthan. Kumbhalgarh Fort, with its seven ramparts and enormous watchtowers, is constructed beneath the majestic, watchful gaze of the Aravali hills. The Kumbhalgarh walls are the second-largest fortifications in the world in terms of total length, trailing only the Great Wall of China. When the fort is light up for a while in the evening, the fort's armament can be seen.

5. Chittorgarh Fort

One of the most significant forts in Rajasthan and the largest fort known to exist in India; it is now a World Heritage site. The Chittorgarh Fort saw Allauddin Khilji's invasion and his love for Queen Padmini of Chittor, even if the majority of current historians doubt the veracity of this evidence. It serves as evidence of the customs, ideals, and bravery of the Rajput people in their struggle against foreign rule in Rajasthan.
