Landmarks1
- 1Hawa MahalThat towering honeycomb wall everyone photographs from the street? It's the back of the palace.
Historic Sites6
- 2Jantar MantarA Rajput king built 19 stone instruments here to fix the royal star charts — and the world's largest stone sundial is still the centerpiece.
- 3Amber FortA hilltop palace where Raja Man Singh built twelve queens' rooms each with a staircase to his chamber — yet the queens were forbidden from ascending it — and engineers cooled a room using wind blown over a water cascade.
- 4Jal MahalA five-story sandstone hunting lodge sits in the middle of Man Sagar Lake — its lower floors beneath the waterline when the lake is full.
- 5Jaigarh FortFour hundred metres above Amer, the fort that cast the world's largest cannon on wheels still commands the valley.
- 6City PalaceThe Jaipur royal family still lives here — around 500 personal servants included.
- 7Nahargarh FortBuilt in 1734 as a hilltop retreat, named for the ghost its builders had to appease.
