Your first stop is the majestic town of Amer (also spelled as “Amber”), home to the grand Amer Fort. Located 11 kilometers from Jaipur’s city center, this fort blends Rajput and Mughal architecture, featuring intricate designs, expansive courtyards, and detailed frescoes. Perched on a hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and the city below.

Panna Meena Ka Kund

Panna Meena Ka Kund is a stunning architectural marvel, known for its symmetrical crisscross staircases and geometric patterns. Built in the 16th century, this stepwell served as both a community gathering spot and a water storage system in the arid region. Its design, along with the cool, shaded interiors, offered a refreshing escape from the desert heat.

Jal Mahal

After exploring Amer Fort and the stepwell, make your way to Jal Mahal, also known as the 'Water Palace.'

Hawa Mahal

Your next stop is the iconic Hawa Mahal, also known as the 'Palace of Winds.' With its unique honeycomb structure, Hawa Mahal is one of Jaipur's most photographed landmarks.
