| Amer Fort |
I kept calling it Amber Fort only to be continuously
corrected by the locals.
"You mean Amer Fort?" they would ask. "That's
the highlight. You should spend the most time there."
Amer Fort, also known as Amber Fort, - it's an impressive
site to behold as you approach Jaipur from Amer as it sprawls across the Cheel
Ka Teela (Hill of Eagles) on the Aravalli Hills overlooking Moata Lake. Built
by Man Singh I in the 16th century, it was expanded on by his son, Jai Singh I
and continued to be renovated until the capital moved to Jaipur in 1727.
