After breakfast we leave to the outskirts of Jaipur to walk through the grounds and structures of the Amber Fort. Originally constructed by a tribe called the Meenas and dedicated to "Amba" or the "Mother Goddess," was built over the remains of an earlier structure, the present palace complex was commenced in 1592 under the reign of Raja Man Singh, commander of Akbar's army and a member of the emperor's inner circle of nine courtiers. The fort was modified by successive rulers over the next 150 years, until the Kachwahas shifted their capital to Jaipur during the time of Maharaja (a great or high king) Jai Singh II. Have the choice of reaching the fort either on foot or atop an elephant! The short steep ascent provides views of Jaipur, Maotha Lake, and the original city walls. One of the fort's most striking features is the Hall of Mirrors. When the palace was occupied by royalty, the hall could be lit at night by a single candle reflected in thousands of tiny, intricate mirrors. After lunch visit Jantar Mantar; an open air astronomical observatory. Then stop at the Hawa Mahal 'Palace of the Winds' facade for photo stop behind which the ladies of the court could watch the busy activities in the street below without being seen. Jaipur's main focus is the huge City Palace complex, home to the Maharaja, where you'll see the numerous rooms, formal gardens and the fascinating Maharaja's Museum containing his personal collection of weaponry, miniature paintings, royal attire and jewelry.
