The impressive Jaigarh Fort, flanked by gateways and watchtowers and surrounded by huge battlements with inside walkways, was built in 1726. Its claim to fame is the Jai Ban, the world's largest cannon on wheels. This was made in the fort's own foundry - indeed, it's so big that it couldn't possibly have been made somewhere else and pulled up... More

The fort is a very nice site if you look at it from Amber Fort. Alas, once you get nearer to it, its neglect become very obvious. Despite being the tallest point in Jaipur (as our taxi driver said, at least), the place looks horrible - dirty, crumbling and so not worth the entry ticket nor the time wasted. As... More

Attached to Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort is nice to see Jaipur city at all. In addition, you can feel an athmosfere of Jaipur's history, that's the sensation I had.

It was an WOW factor to see 50,000 Kgs of pure Iron, The world's greatest Cannon, The fort is an excellent example of Water management. The magificant view of Jaipur from the fort is worth visiting

The fort houses the worlds largest cannon on wheels, which was constructed on site. It also has a small palace which is well worth the tour. Overall, its one of the places you shouldn't skip in Jaipur if you want to see old architecture and history.

Give your eyes a treat of witnessing the world's biggest/longest Canon from 17th century. They say it has only been tried once and the fireball travelled abt 30-40 Kms . About 100 kg (220 lb) of gunpowder fired a shot ball weighing 50 kg (110 lb).

On my first day of my "Golden Triangle Tour" Jaipur where Amber Fort was to be one of the places to visit. Enroute to the fort I saw the old Pink City and many of the buildings made of pink sandstone. Being a Las Vegas resident where we routinely implode any building more than 25 years old to rebuild another... More
