the gigantic Amer Fort

Meet Syabu, my fav animal The Amer Fort elephant ride costs Rs1,000 for 2 people and it takes approximately 20-30mins up the fort. There are approximately 80 elephants, which carry up to 900 visitors per day (Jaipur Travel Guide, 2015) Elephant congestion is a common view at the #amerfort whereby around 80 elephants transport 900 visitors everyday through the Sun Gate. Although the ride is undeniably a popular tourist attraction, it remains controversial among the animal activists. Prepare to be hassled by the hawkers & "professional photographer", they gonna haunt until u buy their goods & pictures. Our mahout was grumpy & asked for more tips than advised (We think this is very common & nearly experienced it everywhere.most of the time we don't think they deserve a tip because they are very unfriendly people.. pftt) #tripblazers #mytripvlog
