How to get there<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amer Fort is located North of Jaipur and is quite large in size. By the time I got to Jaipur I was thinking that maybe I had seen one too many forts, but I had a free afternoon after arriving so I went up to take a look. It’s nice to see the old city wall that stretches out from the fort. It almost reminds you of the Great Wall Of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s about 40 minutes North of city centre. Although you will go a lot of auto drivers that want to take you in their tuk-tuks, form a comfort point of view I would suggest that you take a car. I rented an Ola and they waited for me as I visited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s very slow getting out of Jaipur city centre since there is a lot of traffic so I would suggest you budget extra time for this. The fort is open till sunset and I got some pretty good views close to sunset time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Audio Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can rent an audio guide for Rp.\/200 and it worked out quite well. You can then just follow along with the numbers and wonder around the fort. In my opinion this beats a real guide because the audio guide will not get commission to take you to a shop to buy jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can climb up quite high and it gives you some good views of the surrounding countryside. However, please be careful as some of the railings are hanging on my a thread and I would not use them for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The view is great, but this certainly does not look very stable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sound and Light show<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apparently in the evening they have a sound and light show, but I did not stay that late. It is viewed from a parking lot close by and it does get good reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
