Accommodations in Jaipur near Amber Palace (Jaipur, India)
Amber Palace (Jaipur, India)
The Amber Palace or Amber Fort is located in Amber, approximately 11 km from the city of Jaipur and is one of Rajasthan’s most popular tourist attractions. It was once the citadel of the Kachhawa clan who later moved their capital to Jaipur. The fort blends Hindu and Muslim architectural styles and is built of white marble and red sandstone. It stands high above the surrounding land on a massive rocky promontory overlooking a lake. Much of Amber fort as it can be seen today was the palace which was created by Raja Man Singh I, the ruler from 1590 - 1614. Inside the fort are many diverse buildings of different ages and highlights include the ornate Diwan-i-Khas and the highly decorated Ganesh gate. The climb to the fort can be hard especially when the weather is hot and visitors have the choice between tackling several hundred steps or paying for an elephant ride. Many visitors may be disturbed by the treatment of the elephants.
