    Amber Fort

    अंबेर क़िला Amber Qilā

    This massive fort-palace complex built in hybrid Hindu-Muslim style dates back to Raja Man Singh and was the royal palace of the Kachwahas from c. 1600-1727. It's one of six UNESCO World Heritage forts in Rajasthan. The name has nothing to do with the rather pretty pastel yellow colour; instead, the fort is named after the area of Amber, in turn named after the goddess Amba.

    8AM-6PM₹100/20 for Indian adult/student and ₹500/100 for foreign adult/student. Included in the Composite Ticket. There is a special evening viewing from 6:30-9AM, ₹100 for all, Composite Ticket not valid. Camera: free. Audioguides ₹200. Elephant rides: ₹1100. Consider not taking elephant rides as there have been many reports of these animals not being kept and cared for in humane ways · Heritage listed

    Iswari Minar Swarga Sal

    A minaret with great views of Jaipur. There is an alternative to the minaret that's open 24/7. Just across the other side of the road (Chandpol Bazaar) from the minaret is a shopping complex with stairs up to a rooftop area where you can get basically the same view as from the minaret. To get there, go through the arched gateway almost opposite the minaret, then as soon as you get to the courtyard, look to the left for a metal spiral staircase and keep climbing until you reach the roof, walk around the corridor to the next set of stair and go up another floor until you know you can't go any higher.
