You will be picked up at your hotel in Jaipur at 8:00 AM , you will be driven just outside Jaipur to the ancient capital of Amer to see the fabulous Amer fort. Maharaja Mansingh, Mughal Emperor Akbar's most successful General, started the construction of Amer fort in the 17th century. Before the City palace was constructed in Jaipur, Amber was the seat of power. The fort is surrounded by fortified battlements and overlooks the Moat Lake. Ruins and remains are spread over the Aravalli hills and sprawling crenulated walls lattice the surrounding area.
The car will take you to the fort and once on top, stroll through the sprawling complex of courtyards and halls. Many of the rooms have delightful wall paintings, with precious stones and mirrors inlaid in the walls. Most fascinating, perhaps, is the Sheesh mahal (hall of mirrors) where a single lamplight is reflected in the many mirrors, lighting up the room. En route to Amer you will stop and see the 'Palace of Winds', otherwise known as Hawa mahal. It is really an elaborate facade behind which the ladies of the court used to watch the daily goings on in the street below. Lunch at Rajasthani traditional restaurant around 1.30 pm.
In the afternoon, you will visit the city of Jaipur. Among the highlights to be seen while touring Jaipur include the City palace. The palace museum houses collections of rare manuscripts, armoury, costumes, carpets and miniature paintings. Walk to the adjacent Jantar mantar or Astronomical Observatory made by the Maharaja of Jaipur, built in 1726 and is one of the five such astronomical wonders built by Sawai Jai Singh and makes accurate predictions even to this day.Then visit a local market before being dropped off at your hotel around 6:00 PM.
