Nahargarh
Fort, Jaipur
Nahargarh (tiger Fort), overlooks the city of Jaipur from a sheer ridge to the
north and is floodlit at night. The fort was built in 1734 by Jai Singh and
extended in 1868. A 9 km road runs up through the hills from Jaipur, and the
fort can be reached along a zigzagging 2km path which starts from the north
- west of the old city. The glorious view fully justify the effort. Inside the
fort you can visit the Madhavendra Bhawan housing the nine apartments of Maharaja
Ram Singh's nine wives. The rooms are linked by a maze of corridors and retain
some delicate frescoes, as well as toilets and kitchen hearths.
