- annu sharmaGurugram (Gurgaon), India1 contributionHistorical retreatBeautiful view of the city from the fort. Historic place built with amazing architecture by the Maharaj fondly known as the Nahargarh fort. The entry fee to the fort for Indian citizen is INR 50 . Great place for family hangout with ample of historical information. One would be advised to avoid the wax museum as it is very costly and you cannot take photograph from your mobile phone too, u need to hire a photographer inside who will charge you 300-400 for 8 to 15 photographs, its ticket price is INR 500 that includes entry to wax museum and sheesh mahal. Also in Sheesh Mahal they give wrong information to tourists that itz the only one in the world having a mirror floor. Lot of monkeys are there in the fort but they do not harm the tourists. A visit to the fort is highly recommended to those who love historical places.Visited February 2020Written 27 February 2020
- Anjan SenguptaRaipur, India1,739 contributionsCan be skippedI am not sure if this a UNESCO Heritage as it doesn't deserve to be one. There is nothing worth seeing here as compared to Amber or Jaigarh Forts.Its just a place where a King had kept his 9 Queens in different parts of a Building. One can visit here if you have extra time..Also please avoid the so called 'Sheesh Mahal' for which you need to pay extra.Its just a waste of moneyVisited February 2020Written 26 April 2020
- SalimMLondon, United Kingdom1,861 contributionsWorth a visitIf you have not had your fill of forts then this is yet another one to visit. It is one of the three forts in Jaipur. Appears to have undergone some maintenance and visitors are apparently increasing as it was previously neglected. Going up is an adventure as the road winds up the mountain. Walking is an option but I would not recommend as it is a long and steep hike up. So what do you get to see? The highlight is the Madhavendra Bhavan palace complex. It has nine spacious self-contained apartments, where the king's women lived, set around three sides of a courtyard. The king's quarters are on the remaining side. They're connected to the apartments by a corridor that enabled the king to secretly visit his ladies and frolic in privacy. There is a Sculpture Park where the collections on show change every so often. Finally, there is the wax museum. The museum is divided into three sections—a Hall of Icons with statues of celebrities including cricket players and Bollywood actors, a Royal Darbar with paintings and wax statues of Rajasthan royalty in traditional costumes and a stunning modern-day Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace) crafted out of glass pieces. Finally check out the view of the pink city from the top. Absolutely amazing.Visited December 2019Written 15 March 2020

Nahargarh Fort is one of the main sights you should not miss in Jaipur! It was fun to wander through all the many apartments and rooms in the palace, the fresco paintings on the walls were beautiful. We did Amber Palace, Jaigarh Fort and then ended the day here at Nahargarh Fort for sunset on the roof, beautiful!

Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur is a majestic historical landmark that captivates visitors with its grandeur and rich heritage. Perched atop the Aravalli Hills, the fort offers breathtaking panoramic views of the cityscape. Steeped in history, it served as a formidable defense structure in the past. Today, it stands as a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Rajput era. Exploring the fort reveals intricate detailing, stunning frescoes, and ornate structures. The fort's serene ambiance and picturesque surroundings make it a favorite spot for tourists and locals alike. Nahargarh Fort is a must-visit destination, immersing visitors in the grandeur of Jaipur's royal past

Having much historical importance the fort has sweeping views of the city with Shish Mahal and Wax Museum nearby. ,It was not so crowded. Complete with cannon and gunports, it is covered with forest and home of many wild animals.

Main attractions in this fort are sheeshmahal and wax museum. The price is too high for these two main attractions but definitely must see attractions if you are an art lover and have time in hand at Jaipur.
Sheeshmahal has a wonder created with 21000+ glass/mirror pieces.
Wax museum has very few statues and paintings.
No photography allowed. You have different packages for pics to be clicked by their own photographer who follows you once you register at the entrance. Once you are done with the tour of wax museum, they give you a digital copy of your pics.
No photography allowed in sheeshmahal. There is a clear demarcation representing summer and winter season effect in the premises.
The colours used are natural and for yellow colour they have used real gold.

The Nahargarh Fort looms over the city of Jaipur on a nearby mountain, helping to protect the city. The views here are great, but sometimes obscured by the haze of pollution that sometimes descends over the city. The interior is painted in a uniform manner. The outer areas of the fort also hold restaurants and a host of other attractions. It is far less frequented than Amer or Jaigarh Fort and is good if you want to go to a tourist attraction that is less crowded.

The views of Jaipur and the valley from this fort are impressive. There’s also a step-well inside.
Having paid to get into the fort, there is a second steep 700Rp fee to get into a privately-run complex inside (the Sheesh Mahal). This consists of a wax-work museum, a room decorated with mirrors, a moth-eaten stuffed tiger with a clockwork mechanism to move its head from side to side, and also has various side-shows (a magician, a puppet show, a potter, each of whom will want another 100-200Rp). If you’re the kind of person who loves Disneyland or M&M world, go ahead. But frankly, it’s a tacky rip-off designed to part tourists from their cash.

I enjoyed walking up the winding hill.
Don’t need to take the tuk tuk.
It is 20 minutes and quite steep but you get a great view looking over the city and in the distance the Aravalli mountain range.
The palace in the fort is ok from the outside. It’s completely empty inside but the view from the roof terrace is nice. The day I went the visibility was bad due to pollution but I still enjoyed the hike up and down. 200 rupee tourist entry.

How is the traffic on Weekends(Sat/Sun)?
How is the road curve and inclination when going to Nahargarh Fort by road?
I with my family will be coming via car and have been thinking to go Nahargarh, Jal Mahal and the Light Show via car as I heard it's a bit hot nowadays.
Since it's a weekend, we can expect traffic but traffic on inclined road can be dangerous as none of us have driving experience on elevation.

What are the timings of Nahargarh Fort. Some site suggests to visit this place at sun rise and show timings as 6 AM to 6:30PM. Whereas some sites show the timings as 10 AM to 6:30PM. What is the exact time

You can go even after 6.30 PM as there are a couple of restaurants inside the fort and enjoy the beautiful evening view of the city from the fort.
