Jaigarh Fort

Located next to the Amber Fort, this well-preserved military fort was built in the 18th century and housed the royal treasury. Its highlight is the Jai Vana, one of the the world's largest cannon on wheels. Made around 1720, it has an impressive firing range of around 30km. The fort also houses an armoury and museum, which display weapons, old photographs and maps, and royal objects. Since the fort is located on a hillock called Cheel ka Teela (hill of eagles), it is an ideal vantage point to take in stunning sights of the Amber Fort and the Maota Lake. Climb up the Diwa Burg watchtower for a bird’s eye view of the sprawling plains around.
