Amber Fort was once the capital of the state of Jaipur. This huge, magnificent palace-fortress is a striking example of Rajput architecture. Maharajah himself used to climb here on elephants - now this attraction is very popular among tourists. Don't waste your money - it's worth it. Only female elephants participate in the climb, because elephants can be aggressive and unpredictable. Each elephant, according to the laws of the state, only makes 4 ascents and descents, and then rests. So hurry - the rise is only available until noon. By the way, the length of the walls of the fortress is about 20 km. The locals call it the "Great Indian Wall". The palace-fortress is simply amazing - there are lion gates, terraces, and a garden with a fountain (though not working), and maharajas' palaces, with mirror patterns on the walls and ceiling, and a "house of joy", where the ruler met with the women of his harem. In a word, this is a worthy pearl from the collection of the "Golden Triangle" of India.
