It is located about 15 kilometers from Jaipur city and is part of the Amer Fort complex, often considered as its sister fort due to their close proximity and shared history. Here are some key features and historical aspects of Jaigarh Fort:

  1. History: Jaigarh Fort was built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1726 to protect the Amer Fort and the palace complex within it. It served as a defensive structure and was strategically important due to its location on the hills overlooking the Amer Fort and the surrounding area.

  2. Architecture: The fort is renowned for its impressive architecture and massive walls made of red sandstone. It is also known for its well-preserved cannons, including the famous Jaivana Cannon, which is considered the world's largest cannon on wheels.

  3. Features: Within the fort complex, you can find palaces, temples, reservoirs (for water storage), and a museum that showcases artifacts related to warfare, history, and royal life.

  4. Strategic Importance: Jaigarh Fort played a crucial role in defending the Amer Fort and the city of Jaipur against invasions. Its formidable structure and strategic positioning made it a key defensive stronghold in the region.

  5. Scenic Views: One of the highlights of visiting Jaigarh Fort is the panoramic view it offers of the surrounding hills, Amer Fort, and the Maota Lake. The scenic beauty and historical significance make it a popular tourist destination in Jaipur.

Visiting Jaigarh Fort allows travelers to delve into Rajasthan's rich history, witness impressive architecture, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Aravalli Hills and nearby landmarks. It remains a testament to the military prowess and architectural splendor of the Rajput rulers of Rajasthan.

Amer Fort

Amber Fort Jaipur The Amer Fort, situated in Amber, 11 kilometers from Jaipur, is one of the most famous forts of Rajasthan. Amer, originally, was the capital of the state before Jaipur. It is an old fort, built in 1592 by Raja Man Singh. This fort is also very popularly known as the Amer Palace. The Amer Fort was built in red sandstone and marble and the Maotha Lake adds a certain charm to the entire Fort. Though the fort is quite old and may even look so from the outside, it is beautiful on the inside and boasts of various buildings of prominence like the 'Diwan-i-Aam', the 'Sheesh Mahal' and even the 'Sukh Mahal'. The Amer Fort has influences of both Hindu and Muslim architecture. This fort also has the 'Shila Devi' Temple and the 'Ganesh Pol' which is a gate that leads to the private palaces of the kings. The Amer Fort has many pavilions and halls of great interest and other popular attractions.

Jantar Mantar

There are plenty of observatories all over the world, but the Jantar Mantar is considered to be one of the largest observatories ever built. Combining religion, science and art, the Jantar Mantar is the name given to a series of five, magnificent structures built in Jaipur, New Delhi, Ujjan, Varanasi and Mathura. Jaipur was the seat of Maharaja Jai Singh II during the 1720's and this is when this magnificent structure was built here. The Jantar Mantar in Jaipur is considered to be the largest of the five observatories and also houses the world's largest sundial. The Universe and the Cosmos have always been of interest to man, and it was this interest that compelled the Maharaja to build an astronomical observatory. The term 'Jantar Mantar' is derived from the Sanskrit terms 'Yantra' and 'Mantra' meaning 'instruments' and 'formula' respectively. The term 'Yantra' was replaced with 'Jantar' which means 'magical'. The Jantar Mantar houses various architectural and astrological instruments that have caught the interests of astronomers, historians and architects around the world.

Hawa Mahal

The Hawa Mahal Jaipur is the beautiful many windowed extension of the City Palace that is said to resemble the honeycomb structure of a bee’s nest. Since the construction of the Hawa Mahal Jaipur in 1799 the building has become the iconic structure of the city and the pink sandstone palace is considered as the finest example of Rajput architecture.
The Hawa Mahal Jaipur translated into English means the Palace of the Winds and this name is in reference to the clever cooling system which propagates a gentle breezes through the inner rooms even during the intense Rajasthan summers. This ingenious design has been completely lost after a recent renovation in which windows were installed behind each of the lattice openings, so today the palace of winds has no wind.
Hawa-mahal-museum

City Palace

The City Palace was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh and is a blend of Rajasthani and Mughal architecture. It is surrounded by spacious courtyards, gardens, and temples.
There are several buildings in the complex including a very interesting arms & weapons museum located in the Maharani's Palace (which was once the queen's apartments). The Maharaja Sawai Mansingh II Museum has a fabulous collection of royal costumes, block printed materials, pashminas, embroderies, and fine silks.
The Diwan-i-Khas is the Hall of Private Audience done in marble. In the gallery are two huge silver vessels filled with holy Ganges water. The vessels hold 9000L, stand 160cm tall and are the largest sterling silver objects in the world.
The art gallery is housed in the former Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience). A few highlights there included a beautiful painted ceiling with semi-precious stone colours, a huge crystal chandelier, and a copy of the entire Bhagavad Gita handwritten in tiny script (as well as miniature copies of other holy Hindu scriptures).
With all of the exquisite things to see in the City Palace it is hard to pick a favorite, although I loved the archways and doors, and the Peacock Gate.

Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh Fort JaipurThe Indian state of Rajasthan is famous for its royal heritage. Formed by the union of many princely states ruled mainly by Rajputs, Rajasthan has many forts and palaces. Some of these palaces and forts are associated with important historical events as well. Nahargarh Fort, along with other two forts viz., Amer Fort and Jaigarh Fort, once formed a strong defense for Jaipur city. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1734, this fort was originally named Sudarshangarh Fort. Later, it was given a new name, Nahargarh which means 'abode of tigers'. Located in one of the oldest mountain ranges of the world, the Aravalli Hills, this fort gives you a breathtaking view of the scenic surroundings. One of the major tourist attractions of JaipurNahargarh Fort is noted for its extended wall which connects it to the Jaigarh Fort.

Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort Jaipur The Jaigarh Fort is a majestic stronghold built by Sawan Jai Singh II. This almost-intact fort is surrounded by huge battlements and is connected to the Amer Fort (also called 'Amber' Fort), with subterranean passages. Originally built to protect the Amer Fort and the palace within the complex, the Jaigarh Fort is architecturally similar to the Amer Fort, and offers a panoramic view of the city of Jaipur. The fort houses the world's largest cannon on wheels, a majestic palace complex and the assembly hall of the warriors known as 'Shubhat Niwas' along with a museum and an armory. Apart from the intricate architecture of the fort, the fort was also renowned for a huge treasure that was believed to be buried under the fort. It is now said that the government of Rajasthan seized the treasure when it was discovered in the 1970s. The Jaigarh Fort was built to secure Jaipur City and the Amer fort from warlords and rivals.

An absolutely unmissable landmark that was built in 1638; The Red Fort is awe inspiring at any hour in the day. It is worth noting that the fort is closed on Mondays, so factor that into your plans.
Swaminarayan Akshardham should be next up on your list as it is a splendid ode to Indian culture and architecture. By the time you have seen these 2 Delhi sights it will be nearing late afternoon so Humayun’s Tomb is the next destination. Humayun’s Tomb is a fantastic example of Mughal architecture and is found in stunning grounds where you can relax as you anticipate resting in your hotel after a tasty meal.
For a place to stay in Delhi we recommend The Dusit Devarana for the traveller who wants some luxury on their trip; or The Metropolitan Hotel and Spa for those who don’t want to break the bank yet still enjoy comfort in Delhi.

Day 2: Forts and Tombs

Today you travel from Delhi to Agra, the first sight once you have found your hotel will be Agra Fort. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built in 1565 and is still as impressive now as it was back then. Open each day the fort is easily accessible and will cost you 20 Rupees to gain entrance. When you have completed a tour of Agra Fort a short trip to the amazing Tomb of Akbar the Great is next. Some of the features on display here are immaculate examples of the intricate skill of the Mughals, and are truly exciting to see up close.
Finally see the Taj Mahal in all its splendor. As one of the seven wonders of the ancient world it is no challenge to spend a good deal of time here; you must stay till sunset when the beautiful building is wonderfully illuminated.
For a taste of luxury on your visit to Agra; a stay at The Oberoi Amarvilas is compulsory. If The Oberoi Amarvilas is out of your budget then we recommend bedding down in Howard Plaza The Fern.

Day 3: Taj Mahal in Daylight

This morning you will savour the Taj Mahal once again, this time bathed in the beautiful light of morning. After taking in this wonderful scene it is time to visit one more location in Agra; Itmad-ud-Daulah. This does hide in the Taj Mahal’s shadow but is still an excellent point to visit on you travels; often referred to as a “Jewel Box” this is a lovely addition to your trip.
When you have got your fill of Agra it is time to head to Ranthambhore National Park. Upon arrival here it will be evening, so after settling into your hotel and filling up on some food we suggest relaxing in preparation for your busy day tomorrow.
The Oberoi Vanyavilas should be you hotel if you want some Safari luxury; a cheaper option is Tiger Moon Resort. Each will be a welcome site after a day of travel.

Day 4: Ranthambhore - Tigers

Today you will spend the day at the Ranthambore Safari, with so many spectacular animals to see this is sure to be an exciting day. As one of India’s premier sites to see a Royal Bengal Tiger, today will be one of your more memorable Golden Triangle trip. For the evening we heartily suggest eating at Niralo Gaon, their speciality is Rajasthani cuisine; you will not be disappointed.

Day 5: The Pink City

An early start today sees you leave for Jaipur. The Pink City holds many delights for the tourist; perhaps the most special is the Amber Fort. This stunning building is thronged with incredibly detailed architecture and luscious gardens. A visit here is a real step back into the past, be sure to visit the Sheesh Mahal here. A visit to Hawa Mahal must be done during your stay in Jaipur, an architecturally stunning palace; it will take your breath away.
If you are seeking a luxury hotel experience during your stay in Jaipur, then there can be only one choice; The Raj Palace; truly experts in the business of luxury hoteling. A good budget option is The Holiday Inn.
This is your final day on the Golden Triangle trip; today you will travel back to Delhi and complete the Triangle. From there you can either fly home or continue exploring the sights and the sounds of India

Learn more about Kumbh Mela-Allahabad

Kumbh Mela


Kumbh Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimages of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred river. It is the world's largest religious gathering. It is held every third year at one of the four places by rotation: Haridwar, Allahabad (Prayag), Nasik and Ujjain.
Thus the Kumbh Mela is held at each of these four places every twelfth year. Ardh ("Half") Kumbh Mela is held at only two places, Hardwar and Allahabad, every sixth year. The rivers at these four places are: the Ganges (Ganga) at Haridwar, the confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges and the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati at Allahabad, the Godawari at Nasik, and the Shipra at Ujjain. Mini Kumbh(Magh) Mela is held every year in Allahabad only

Kumbh Mela-Allahabad

The Magh (Kumbh) Mela is one of the greatest annual religious affairs for Hindus. Hindu mythology considers the origin of the Magh Mela to be the beginning of the Universe. An important occasion, the Magh (Kumbh) Mela is held every year on the banks of Triveni Sangam (the confluence of the three great rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati) in Prayag near Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.
In accordance with the traditional Hindu calendar followed in North India, this holy fair is organised every year during the Hindu month of Magh (corresponding to mid January - mid February of the Gregorian calendar); hence the name.

The Magh Mela is, however, not confined only to the month of Magh and the important bathing dates are spread over a period of 45 days. The Magh Mela is actually a smaller version of Kumbh Mela. Hence it is also known as mini Kumbh Mela. Every year, the Magh Mela commences on the day of Makkar Sankranti in January, which is the first important bathing day according to the religious Hindu calendar. It begins with multitudes of pilgrims taking a holy dip at the Sangam on auspicious dates.
A large number of people arrive here annually and stay in makeshift houses or tents at the Sangam, spending the entire month of Magh in prayers. This period is known as "Kalpvas". Those who religiously observe the "Kalpvas" are known as "Kalpvasis". The ancient Hindu Vedas mention a "Kalp" to be the period equal to the total number of years in the four yugas - Satyug, Treta, Dwapar and Kalyug. This adds up to several millions of years. It is said that by piously observing a "Kalpavas", a devotee overcomes the sins in his/her previous birth and escapes the cycle of Janma(birth) and Karma (actions).

During each day of the Magh Mela, a Kalpvasi has to take a dip at the Ganges on sunrise praying to the rising sun. Majority of the Kalpvasis partake only a meal a day. After observing 12 Kalpavas, a Kalpavasi has to donate his/her bed and all his belongings (a ritual known as "Shayya Daan").
The Uttar Pradesh government annually makes special arrangements for the devotees during this time. A greater number of buses ply to let the pilgrims have their journey in peace and without any inconvenience. A township of tents specially come up on the banks of the Sangam to provide shelter to the visiting millions who turn up from all over the country. Adequate medical and security arrangements are made to avoid any untoward incidents. "Lost and Found" camps are also set up and manned by the local police to prevent anyone getting missing during the days of the fair. Every twelfth year, the Magh Mela is transformed into the Kumbha Mela. Uttar Pradesh is flooded with millions of pilgrims who arrive here during this time to attend this grand event.
