Jaigarh Fort
Also known as the fort of victory, Jaigarh Fort is a rugged structure built in 1726 by Sawai Jai Singh. It was the royal treasury for several years. The fort is perched on a cliff and is surrounded by huge battlements with inside walkways offering stunning views on all sides. The World's largest cannon on wheel, Jaivan, is to be found here. Also of interest is the intricate water supply and storage system, which is considered a marvel of planning. The fort has its museum and provides some excellent view of Amber Fort. Situated in the north of Jaipur, the Jaigarh Fort has more or less same structure as of Amber Fort. The Jaigarh fort also houses a beautiful museum and gives breathtaking views of Jaipur below and Amber Fort.
Jaigarh Fort can be reached either by motorable road leading to Nahargarh Fort or on foot from Amber Fort
