Day 125: Rest day in Jaipur

A day with our forts​

If Udaipur is about palaces, Jaipur is about forts, lining the hilltops and strung together by winding crènelâtes walls. The Rajasthanis of Jaipur were a warlike bunch, and they needed a strong fortress to call home. ​

We jumped in an Uber and headed up to Amer to visit the Amber Fort (spelling consistency is not an aim here). It couldn’t be more picture postcard fort if it tried. Towering walls perched on steep slopes so not even a herd of elephants can make a dent.
