The huge Amer Palace Fort sits atop a small hill, and is located at a distance about 11 km from the main city.The magnificent Amer fort is an extensive palace complex that has been built with pale yellow and pink sandstone, and with white marble. The fort is divided into four main sections that qre graced with their own courtyards.

The oldest part of the fort, completed in 1599, includes the Palace of Man Singh and the zenana, women's quarters. In the centre of the zenana is a pavilion, and the wives' rooms were ranged around the courtyard. It's a splendid and well- preserved fort and well worth a lenghty visit. 

As one arrives at the amer fort, they will enter through the suraj pol, unless you arrive by car, then you enter via the chand pol. Both these gates open into the jaleb chowk, which is the main courtyard, where in earlier times, returning armies used to display their plunder to the people. The fort has a number of sections including the king's quarters, the zenana (where the women lived), gardens, temples, etc.

Encompassing all this, the Amber Fort is a perfect example of Rajasthani architecture which is a must visit. 

The essence of Amer Fort is encapsulated by the beautiful light and sound show within the fort, where visitors get to see an astounding spectacle about the history of the fort.

■ IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO- 

A popular way of reaching the top of Amber Fort is to ride on an elephant from the car park to Jaleb chowk. However, due to concerns over the welfare of the elephants, some tourists are choosing not to do.
