Built by Raja Man Singh I, the Amer Fort, often called the Amber Fort, is the prime location for Jaipur city tour. Located on a hilltop, this fort is rooted with a series of gates and paved paths. The Maota Lake lies beneath this fort, which makes the craggy location of the fort more enticing. Location of the fort itself mesmerizes the visitors.

Presence of some of the magnificent halls like Diwan-i-Khas, Diwan-i-Aam, Sheesh Mahal and Sukh Niwas made this fort one of the favourite places of the Maharajas. While the Diwan-i-Aam used to hold all the public meetings for the kings, Diwan-i-Khas used to hold all the royal meetings.

The Nahargarh Fort is one of the magnificent forts in Jaipur. Located amidst the breath-taking Aravalli Hills, this fort was originally named as Sudarshangarh Fort. However, the name was later changed to Nahargarh Fort which literary means 'abode of the tigers'.

This fort has seen the maximum number of tiger hunts by the kings and royal families. Nahargarh Fort plays an important role in Jaipur Sightseeing Tours.

Built-in 1734 by the legendary Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh, this fort served as a place of retreat for the royal families. Whether then or now, this fort is still serving an integral role in Jaipur's glorious history as well as in the Jaipur sightseeing packages.

Though this fort was constructed to magnify the safety and protection of Jaipur, it never faced any major attacks from the enemies. In fact, the warmth and friendliness of Jaipur's kings never offered any reason of threat to this fort or Jaipur. Nahargarh played an important role in providing shelter to the wives of the British during the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

Maharaja Jai Singh II built this fort in order to strengthen the safety of the most popular Amber Fort and Palace. The fort has been named after the Maharaja. The rocky terrain and the panoramic view of this fort make it one of the spectacular forts in the Jaipur sightseeing package.

City Palace is the unbeatable palace of all palaces in Jaipur. Located in the centre or the heart of Jaipur, this palace is the most attractive as well as one of the best-decorated palaces. While high formidable walls stands guard to this palace, the welcoming Mubarak Mahal greets every visitor in a royal way ever since it was constructed.

Located alongside the City Palace at the heart of Jaipur, Hawa Mahal is another significant palace to visit in this Jaipur Sightseeing Tour. Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh, the grandson of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh built this palace in 1799. It is a five-storey building built in pyramidal shape, which is a symbolic replica of the crown of the Hindu god, Lord Krishna.

A combination of Mughal and Rajput architecture, Hawa Mahal has 953 windows called 'jharokas'. These jharokas were built in such a way that they enabled the royal women to view the outside world, while restricting the outsiders to have a glimpse of these women.

Standing elegantly amidst the Man Sagar Lake, Jal Mahal or the Water Palace boasts of its unexplained stories. Built in the 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II, it is a five-storey building with a stately pavilion and a terrace garden. Out of the five floors of Jal Mahal, the first floor remains underwater when the lake is full.

While some believe this palace to be one of the recreational palaces of the kings, yet others believe it was the favourite place of the queens for their engrossing royal parties. Stories also relate that this palace was the favourite duck hunting destination of the young princes. Though a lot of speculation has arisen, the exact story behind this palace is still unknown to the world.

The graceful Aravalli Hills, dotted by scenic temples and forts add to the captivating beauty of this palace, while the bustling city of Jaipur balances the modern outlook of Jal Mahal.

Jantar Mantar, one of the renowned observatories in the world proves the scientific and astronomical abilities of the Rajput kings.

The maharajas of Jaipur, who were undoubtedly the best architects and planners of their times, also demonstrated their expertise in scientific calculations by constructing Jantar Mantar in five different places of India:Delhi, Jaipur, Ujjain, Mathura and Varanasi. Among these five observatories, Jaipur is the home to the largest and the best preserved of these observatories.

Jantar Mantar is an important site within these Jaipur sightseeing tours. Whilesightseeing in Jaipur, especially around the City Palace, the visitors can explore this immemorial astronomical observatory.

Jantar Mantar, which means 'magical instrument' was designed in a unique way which helped in calculating time, predicting monsoons, eclipses and tracking the position of the sun, the moon and the stars. It is a collection of 14 geometric devices and the Samrat Yantra is the largest among these devices. It is also the largest sundial in the world.

Located on the Jaipur-Amber highway, around 15 km from Jaipur, Gaitore is the afterlife-resting place of the valourous kings of Jaipur. It is the royal cremation ground of Jaipur and one of the main attractions of Jaipur city tour.

Except Maharaja Sawai Ishwari Singh, who was cremated in the City Palace, Gaitore has the cenotaphs or tombstones (or Chhatri in Hindi) of all the Maharajas of Jaipur.

Among all the cenotaphs, the one of Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II is the most attractive. It is decorated with peaco*ck carvings, crafted delicately on pure white marble. These tombstones or cenotaphs are believed to reflect the lavish lifestyle of the kings when they were alive.

Isarlat or the Swargasuli was erected in 1749 by Sawai Ishwari Singh to commemorate a grand victory in a battle. Since then, this 140 feet tower of victory is standing upright in Tripolia Bazar.
