Amer fort is 15 kms from the Jaipur city. We travelled there by a ola cab. Hired a jeep to reach the entrance for Rs 550 per jeep ride for up and down with 2 hrs waiting. The entrance fee is reduced to almost less than half for students with valid Id proof. We hired a guide at the jeep stand also for Rs 400. The place is a worth visit if you are in Jaipur. There are some and old and new constructions in the place. Guide was of great help as explained the historical importance of the place. It's beautiful with carvings, paintings of vegetable colour, rooms of queens and kings, sheesh Mahal. A beautiful monument with exceptional history. Just loved the whole experience!! The only annoying thing is that the drivers of cabs, rickshaw etc all cheat a lot. The tourists have to be really careful.

There is a restaurant inside, and if you want to eat in it, you don’t need to buy tickets. So you literally pay nothing for tickets here if you planning on eating too. Big water tanks, towers, a big canon which was only ever tested only once and it made so much sound that the people who fired it became deaf even though jumped in water… and the provision made to jump in water is interesting to watch.

This Rajput era Fort was one of the top two highlights of my Indian tour. You can travel up to the fort by jeep type vehicles or the old fashioned way by Elephant which certainly looks more sedate. Apparently the elephants do not work during the middle of the day to avoid the midday sun. The trip up by jeep is fun and it’s a fair and steep climb. There’s plenty of pinkish sandstone as well as marble in the buildings. After the main gate and courtyard there are some imposing and steep steps to get up to the next courtyard. The views are spectacular, down to the crocodile infested lake (well that’s what the signs say!) with the elephants winding their way up, to the kilometres of wall on the neighbouring hills (reminiscent of the great wall of China) and the higher fort on the next hill as well as the town below. There’s plenty of marble and intricate screens and decor to see especially in the maharaja and his wives quarters. A spectacular must visit site!

This place is amazing. I definitely recommend visiting with a guide so you can get a deep explanation on the history of this incredible place. So many details to see, great views of the city and not crowded at all (maybe we were lucky).

The monument itself is a sight to behold. It's a destination worth visiting at least once. I recommend purchasing tickets online in advance to skip the queues. Weekends tend to be quite crowded, so it's best to plan your visit on a weekday

It is a visit not to be missed and to get into the spirit of the place, I recommend getting there by climbing the steep paved path on elephant back. Inside you will find a series of very beautiful buildings decorated by the skilled hand of local artisans. There is also a temple dedicated to Shiva, small but richly decorated starting from the silver-covered door.

It's a historical monument of Jaipur, Rajasthan, well maintained and kept clean. I absolutely loved this place, definitely recommend visiting once. The architecture of this fort from inside out is just awesome. The deewan-e-aam, Sheesh mahal, Holi chowk, bardari, queens rooms, food making pots all were great to watch. It almost take you to the old era. You have to take a government approved guide, it's make things easy to you. He also shows you the fort in proper way and sequence. The only problem here is parking your vehicle.

Great fort with a lot of history, very crowded but definitely worth the hype. A lot of people asked for photos with us, which was a little annoying after a certain amount of time. Make sure to walk up there or take a guide over an agency as there are almost no signs. Maybe opt for the audio guide if you'd like. Please don't ride an elephant up there.

We went around 4pm in Dec because we wanted to attend the forts light and sound show. The light and sound show was waste of time and money but the Amber Fort experience from 4pm to the sunset was amazing, beautiful and serene. The colourful lights that lighten up was absolute amazing

This is a highlight of Jaipur. You cannot come to Jaipur and not come here. Suggest taking a guide with or you will just look. Huge! Really is spectacular. Go early when it is quiet and you can appreciate the beauty more. Wear good shoes.
