Amber Fort is an architectural wonder steeped in history that's truly captivating. The grandeur and intricacies of this place are simply breathtaking, especially for enthusiasts passionate about architectural photography like myself.
Visiting during the off-season was a game-changer. The reduced crowds made it possible to appreciate the fort's beauty without feeling overwhelmed. Trust me, it's worth planning your visit during quieter times to soak in the grandeur without the hustle and bustle.
For history buffs, having a guide is invaluable. Their insights and explanations add layers to the experience, offering a deeper understanding of the fort's rich historical significance. It's fascinating to delve into the stories behind every wall and courtyard.
Despite the potential for crowds, Amber Fort remains a must-visit. Its architectural brilliance and historical depth make it an unforgettable stop, especially if you're passionate about capturing stunning visuals through photography.
Recently visited this fort. Absolutely loved it. The history and architecture is mind blowing. A good step by Rajasthan Government to cap the charges of guides at 400. Was able to get a jeep to show around all the 3 forts nearby. The crowd is too much though at the monument which does lead to traffic snarls before you can enter the fort. Able to buy a lot of things within the premises so makes it easier.

The fort is a great architectural landmark and definitely a must visit when in Jaipur. The fort is about 12-15 kms away from the main city so you need transportation to get there.
The entrance fee is about 200 Rs and the climb is steep. There are jeeps that get you up to the top and you can work with them to wait till you finish the tour to pick you up.
This is a classical tourist trap place.
So discuss the details of the jeep the cost and the number of people before getting the jeep.
They have guides as well so if you are interested get one.
Mind you they might push you to shops where they have tie ups.
Also there are many shops in the vicinity selling bedspread and quilts along with other handicraft.
The prices of these are not standard and sold on the whims of the shop keepers.
As none of them have a price tag and many of them have an inflated price so best to bargain a bit on them.
Not sure if they still have an elephant service to take folks to the entrance of the fort.
The place can be covered in 2 hours.
The walk up to the fort entrance can be tedious and will take 1-2 hours
