The Route Description

If two medieval forts weren’t enough for you then there’s the Jaigarh Fort, located on the Baaj ka Tila. Connected to the Amer Fort, the fort has mind-blowing views to offer on both sides. Don’t forget to stop on the east side with Jal Mahal in background and turn west to have the Jaipur city in view. Go in to view the largest cannon gun on wheels in the world called the "Jaivana". Learn about the legends around the only once fired cannon. Spread over an area of about 3 KM the fort soaks you into a different era, when things were slower. Visit the main museum to have a look at the innumerable artifacts and historical pictures or join a walking tour in the Laxmi Vilas, Lalit Mandir, Aram Mandir and the Vilas Mandir and the gardens and courtyards and feel the royalty firsthand. The fort is home to one of the largest medieval garrisons, cannons, armour house and arms in the country. Sit beside the lattice windows and experience power of Rajputana architecture with one side view. During the winter months you can sight migratory birds here as well. A cheesy thing to do is rent out local outfits to take tacky pictures.
