Amber Palace

This palace is a great example of Rajput architecture. You can easily access this place by road and there is lots of parking available. As it is on a hilly area so you have to climb the stairs and walk a little to reach the fort. Once you are inside the fort you are mesmerized by its beauty and the wonderful designs. There is a lake also which adds extra layer to the beauty of this palace. Must visit place whenever you are in Jaipur.

Visiting Amber Fort was truly a memorable experience! I highly recommend going early in the morning – the temperature is pleasant, and the crowd is minimal, making it perfect to explore the fort peacefully and click great photos without much disturbance. A small tip: do not book a jeep to reach the fort entrance. It’s completely unnecessary. The walk uphill is hardly 200-300 meters and very manageable, even in casual footwear. Hiring a guide is a must if you want to understand the rich history and architectural details of the fort. The official guide charges are ₹400 for a group of 1-4 people and ₹600 for a group of 6-14. It’s definitely worth it for the added insight. One important caution: avoid buying souvenirs from the shops inside the fort. They are extremely overpriced – you can find the same items outside the fort or in the local markets for 4-5 times cheaper. Overall, Amber Fort is stunning and offers a great start to your Jaipur trip if you plan wisely!

My visit to Amber Fort and the Palace was truly unforgettable! My guide picked me up early in the morning, knowing the day would turn hot and humid later. We began our exploration from the parking area along the road to the fort, which offered beautiful panoramic views. Visiting early was the perfect choice—there were fewer crowds, and the peaceful atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. The guide was highly knowledgeable about the fort’s rich history and shared fascinating details about the palace’s architecture and heritage. He also helped me capture memorable photos at carefully chosen spots and poses that highlighted the fort’s beauty. From its intricately designed courtyards to the breathtaking vistas visible from the palace, every moment felt magical. A trip to the Pink City of Jaipur simply wouldn’t be complete without experiencing the grandeur of Amber Fort.

The City of Palaces is truly majestic a grand expanse that radiates royal charm. Every corner tells a story, and like every place in India, it carries its own rich history and cultural heritage.

IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE SUCH A MAGNIFICENT ART OF ARCHITECTURE AND KNOWING ABOUT IT'S IMPORTANCE. TRY HIRING A GUIDE FOR BETTER KNOWLEDGE AND GOOD PHOTOS. AVOID BUYING STUFF FROM VENDORS INSTEAD USE LOCAL MARKET THINGS ARE CHEAPER THERE. CARRY STUDENT ID TO GET TICKET DISCOUNTS.

Beautiful and historically rich palace with stunning architecture, especially the Sheesh Mahal mirror work and courtyards. I recommend reading a bit about the place before visiting. Local guides and jeep ride drivers can be pushy, I preferred exploring on my own for a more peaceful and authentic experience. For cultural insights, chatting with locals felt more genuine than following a structured tour. A must visit in Jaipur!

Opted to hike to the top of the fort instead of taking a jeep, allowing for a deeper exploration of every corner of this magnificent site. The breathtaking view of the mountains opposite the fort was truly unforgettable. A marvelous and grand architectural structure.

For All First time visitors - Be Aware!!! You will face hundreds of guide pursuing you to take a guided tour and they will say 150/- for the tour but sometime you will ended up with completing the tour so early you don't even get the vibe of the serene architecture. Also enjoy going on weekday rather to get a better experience. Two parking- one on road quite accessible and another just outside fort(quite far away from main road) very thin road but it is one way road. Also if a passenger jeep got stuck there will long traffic line in that road.
