Highlights of this tour include famous sights such as the magnificent Amer palace , the old capital of Jaipur. A fascinating blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture, the red sandstone and white marble palace has some very interesting apartments , the likes of which are not to be found anywhere in the country. Diwan-i-Aam, Ganesh Pol, Sheesh Mahal, Sukh Niwas, Jai Mandir and Shila Devi temple are some of the places that you should not miss. On your way back from the palace take a slight detour and visit the old township of Amer that lies at the foothills of the palace.

Of interest are the old temples like the Jagat Shiromani temple, the Narsingh palace and the Panna Meera Ki Baodi, or stepwell. The rulers and their wives were laid to rest in the beautifully located Gaitor and Maji Ki Chhatri, or the Maharani's Cenotaphs respectively. Carved cenotaphs stand in their memory. In the same vicinity are the hill forts of Jaigarh and Nahargarh that looks down on the city. Jaigarh is a rugged fort and has the most amazing water storage system and the largest canon on wheels in the world - the Jai Van.

Nahargarh is named after a local deity Nahar Singh and provides some spectacular views of the city below. Nahargarh has nine palaces within its compound with some beautiful woodwork and frescos. Be prepared to spend some extra time here as the fort is best explored on foot. When you head back from the garland fort stop at the Jal Mahal palace. This area is specially interesting after the rains.
