The Amber Fort is the most famous and important attraction of the surroundings of Jaipur. Magnificent and majestic, located a few miles outside the city. The fort, located atop a fortress can be reached by car or on elephant back, we recommend getting in the car, At the end of the tour is an excellent cafeteria More

It's an interesting, if tortuous, drive from the city to the fort and the bus stoped short of the destination and we transfer to Jeeps for the... More
