Dominating the skyline above Amer Fort, Jaigarh Fort, also known as the 'Hill of Eagles,' was constructed in 1726 to protect the Amer Fort. Connected by subterranean passages, it offers similar architectural aesthetics. Witness the Jai Ban, the world's largest cannon on wheels, and soak in the mesmerizing views of the Aravalli hills and Sagar Lake.

Inspired by the Khetri Mahal, Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh constructed this unique five-storied monument in 1799 with 152 windows and latticed balconies. Designed to allow royal women to observe street festivities unseen, Hawa Mahal stands as an exquisite example of Rajput craftsmanship. Visit a nearby cafe for an unparalleled view and a memorable photo opportunity with this iconic building.

Witness the beauty of this Indo-Saracenic architecture illuminated by lights after twilight, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
