Jaigarh Fort

The grand Jaigarh Fort stands tall on a hillock, some 15 km from the main Jaipur city. Also referred to as the "Victory Fort", it is a classic example of the military forts that are scattered all around Rajasthan. The Jaigarh Fort was built by Sawai Jai Singh II in 1726 and is quite an impressive sight with its high battlements and inside walkways.

It must be mentioned that the Jaigarh Fort was built in order to bolster up the defense of Amer. Therefore it does not house exquisite palaces and monuments like its famous counterpart - the Amber Fort. In fact, it can be called a full-fledged military structure that distinguishes itself with its simple but awe-inspiring presence. As you drive up the steep road to the Jaigarh Fort you will be treated to some of the most breathtaking views of the Jaipur city that stretches around the fort.

The impressive gateway (Dungar Darwaza) that welcomes you to the Jaigarh Fort is in itself a grand sight. However, the highlight of your Jaigarh Fort tour would be the Jaivana, the world's largest canon on wheels. The fort also boasts of an intricate water supply and storage system that speaks volumes about the great amount of clever planning that went into the construction of the fort. You can also visit the in-house museum that offers a rich display of Rajput artifacts, weaponry and priceless old photographs.

Overall, the Jaigarh Fort is truly an experience you should not miss during your visit to Jaipur. With its rich history and grand presence, it would surely add to a memorable experience. See the Jaigarh Fort and much more with Rajasthan Wildlife Tour.
