The best way to tour the place (and any touristic place in India) is by an audio guide (150 Rps). It comes in 6 languages. Better than a guy guide . Available right hand of the Lion's Gate entrance

Bruna Cruz

Stunning place, beautiful architecture , nice view of the city , one of the best place in Jaipur. A guide is really helpful, as it's a big place, he knows where to go and all the stories to tell.

Aditi Luthra

Gorgeous experience • the fort to visit. Get a tour guide ~ 200 rupee (don’t take the Jeep up and the cafe coffee day upstairs is eh). Ask about paint made from vegetables . Beautifu views outside cafe

Amit Gaharwar

Number 1 must visit on the Jaipur circuit. A little known fact is that the ramparts of the fort are second longest after the great wall of china. In all 34 km long. Do get a guide for the visit.

Nicest fort in Rajasthan! Must see! Best to hire tour guide as it is big and if you tight with time the guide will know exactly where to go! Absolutely stunning place!

Álvaro García

the elefant ride was one of sadest scenes that I've ever seen. people hit them with sticks or heavy bars on their skull, they're dry and have a stressed expression. pls help to stop it

Mikael Ohlson

Lots of interesting things and details to see. Avoid the elephant ride up to the main barracks courtyard , as it isn't particularly animal friendly . Your guide may be in a hurry, but you shouldn't be.

Ali Vaseghnia

You can walk to reach the fort , it’s about 15 minutes. Just ask your driver to drop you off at the main entrance where you can walk as the drop off for Jeep is much further from the main entrance.

If you are a student bring your ID to get 50% off on tickets. Must see sheesh mahal, nice fort overall, click some good pictures create memories ... ENJOY!

Piyush Rajput

Get a guide from up in the fort especially if you are with kids. The ones you hire from the fort are allowed to go inside with you to Sheesh Mahal. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the history.

Cynthia Verónica

Get there early if you want to ride a elephant. They are allow to have certain amount of rides. It's 900 rupees per elephant- max 2 people

Larissa Pak

Amazingly beautiful palace . The best in India to me. Yet I wish authorities would be taking a better care of this rare historical property.

Elena Baseotto

Absolutely stunning! The elephant ride up the fort is a nice way of seeing the view and is great for photos!

Karandeep Bedi

It's a peaceful beautiful and majestic fort just 11 km from main city ... Must visit to sheetla mata mandir .. Very soothing !!!

Rim Bod

Beautiful and well worth the trip. The photos I took there are among the best of our trip. A lady Sadhu tried to break my wife's ankle on the street outside, though.

Ankur Jalota

Please don't ride elephants, in India, Thailand, or anywhere else. It's cruel. Go by foot or use a jeep!

Ankur Nigam

Tips: visit it in the morning by 11 as later u wont get d elephant ridesHire a (Govt approved) guide at d place of ticket window fr Rs200

Sandra Foyt

Bring student ID to get half off admission. Arrive by 10am if you want to catch an elephant ride to the top (900 rupees per elephant, 2 ppl max.

Sarah Neme Peyron

It was amazing! You have a choice between going by elephant/ jeep / by foot. As you wish! The inside /outside is huge and beautiful.

Chetu19

Its located above and close to Jaigarh Fort . Largest cannon in India can be seen here. No biggie, just walking around the fort is nice experience

Willem Sleurs

Beautiful setting. Getting lost in endless chambers and hallways brings vastness to life.

Tamara Cosovic

Nice fort and palace . Make sure you take an elephant ride to the top!

Francis Cordero

Gigantic structure . At the back of it is a lake . Like a water reservoir for the village nearby.

Samvar Mavani

Excellent Rest rooms available at the exit of the fort . At INR 5 per person you get access to clean toilets ... Something I have not seen in India and seldom such quality abroad.

Ashok Singh

Watch Light and Sound Show...starts 06:30pm (English) and 07:30 (Hindi)...Organised at Kesar Kiyari Complex of Maotha Lake ....A must watch for Jaipur visitors

Karthik Deivarayan

It is Amber which is named after Ambikeshwar (Shiva) - the deity taut Raja was worshipping when the building started .. Over the years the 'b' got dropped and it is called Amer in Hindi ..

ITC Hotels

The colossal grandeur of Amber Fort is fascinating evidence of the grandeur of ancient times. It lies peacefully , just 11 kms away from the capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur.

Great view and nice experience! Try to find the bee hives around the forts ! There are huge!

Aayush Agarwal

Amer Fort....A Most Amazing Place Of Jaipur... Do Not Forget To Visit This Place...

The palace is the best sight in Jaipur. Tons to see. A knowledgeable guide might be useful.

Joyce Cheng

Must see if you are in Jaipur, try to go early (to avoid the crowd)

Lenny Teh

Drive, walk, or take an elephant ride up to the top. Breathtaking views but beware of hagglers. Just be nice and say no.

Harshit Singh

This is a must visit fort in Jaipur. It'll take around 2 hrs to watch the whole fort .

Mohit Korde

Probably the highest camera concentration in Jaipur per square inch :) Lots of nooks and crannies to explore if you're a tog

Ruslan Nikolaev

Really cool place. You may end up spending few hours there. Some monkeys living there :D

Rohan Choudhary

Do have a tour guide ! We think its useless but they give vry good knowledge and changes the perspective of seeing the site.

Neha Jain

If you're white guy, be sure, that every person will take a picture of you on the phone

Lalita Gaur

Don't forget to explore the tunnel and take a e rikhshaw ride which connects amber fort to jaigarh fort ..

Lalita Gaur

It's worth to read before or take a audio tour so that you don't miss out anything

Karthik Deivarayan

Pay for use toilets towards the right of moon entrance has got to be, arguably the best one in India ..

An Ch

Try to get here early in the morning so that you can take the elephant ride up to the entrance of the fort .

Alena Ri

Try to get plan or map of the Fort . Its huge! Very easy to get lost in its corridors :-)
