Royal city "Jaipur"


JAIPUR one of the most famous destination of India .Jaipur forms the third corner of India’s tourist circuit, the Golden Triangle . At the heart of Jaipur lies the Pink City, an old walled quarter packed with extravagant royal palaces, Hindu temples and Asia’s most colorful bazaars. These lavish edifices – scattered all over the chaotic city – are remnants of India’s strongest empire.We can also called it as a fairy tale state of India,The streets of Jaipur were so filled with traffic it felt kinda dangerous to walk around, and dangerous to breathe the air thick with exhaust fumes..There are many places to see like Jal mahal ,Nahar garh fort ,Jaigarh fort ...If we talk about nahargarh fort than following are the few things about Nahargarh fort :-

1) NAHAR GARH FORT
-:Embraced in the Nahargarh Hills, the Nahargarh Fort of Jaipur was erected by Sawai Raja Jai Singh in 1734. Jaipur was the capital of Raja Jai Singh II and Nahargarh was an appropriate stand guard, rightly called the Tiger Fort. It was the first of the three forts built by the rulers of Jaipur.

2)JAIGARH FORT -:This earlier royal treasury in Jaipur is extraordinarily well preserved for the military structures of that period and is regarded as one of the three strongest forts of India. The fort perches on a cliff and is surrounded by mammoth fortification walls, which have inside pathways that offer astonishing views on all sides. It houses the World's largest cannon on wheel, Jaivan Jaigarh Fort provides some extravagant views of Jaipur and Amber Fort from the Diwa Burj watchtower. There was tittle-tattle that there was a large treasure of gold obscured in the premises of the fort. Thus, it had to be preserved from the public for seven long years. Now, it has been opened to the public to put on show its several striking palaces, gardens, its granary, an armory that has a dazzling collection of arms and weapons and its temples.

"Apart for all this Jaipur is also a popular tourist destination and very good place to sample some authentic Rajasthani cuisine.”
