Amber Fort

About 30 minutes by car from Jaipur city. As you drive along the mountain road, the fort walls suddenly appear. The overwhelming size and beauty take your breath away. This area has been inhabited by the Rajput tribe, who have practiced Hinduism since the 8th century. They incorporated cultures from various countries such as Persia and Turkey, creating a unique culture. Due to its strategic location where various ethnic groups interacted, they built strong fortresses in the hilly areas to prepare for invasions by foreign tribes. These fort walls are part of the six fortresses built during that era: Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Ranthambore, Gagron, Amber (Amer), and Jaisalmer. In 2013, they were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name "Hill Forts of Rajasthan." Many people say it is more impressive than the Taj Mahal, but it might be better to consider it as something entirely different. It is also compared to the Great Wall of China in Beijing, but it is unique and incomparable. It is definitely worth a visit.

🌈 [colorful India | amber Castle - what is this shining castle] 📍 amber castle 🕌 is the old capital of Jaipur. It is located on a hill in the northern suburb of Jaipur. It was built in 1592. The whole castle is made of milk white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stone. It looks like amber from a distance. The buildings in the castle are composed of palaces of different periods. According to the It's spectacular to build mountains with many layers! The most magnificent building of the amber castle is the palace of mirrors (P4, P5). The roof and walls are inlaid with glass. Under the reflection of the sun, countless small mirrors shine brightly. They are inlaid with lenses and colored gemstones, just like the Taj Mahal. The Palace (P6, P7) opposite the Mirror Palace is another style. The marble colonnade, flower and plant carving, and color patch decoration silently convey a noble and elegant atmosphere. 🍀 tips: admission: 500 rupees for foreigners, 100 rupees for students
