About Nahargarh Fort
Built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II - the founder of Jaipur - Nahargarh Fort was originally named Sudarshangarh, later renamed Nahargarh ('Abode of Tigers'). Along with Amer and Jaigarh forts, it formed a strong defensive ring around the city. Today it's best known for its panoramic sunset views over Jaipur from the hilltop.

Tips for Visitors
- ✓ The sunset point gets packed by 5:30 - go up by 4:30 if you want an actual spot to stand
- ✓ There's a rooftop restaurant inside with the same view minus the crowd, if you don't mind paying for a table
- ✓ Jaigarh Fort is a quick add-on on the same hill - its cannon, the world's largest on wheels, is worth the detour
- ✓ The road up has some steep switchbacks - fine by cab, rough if you're on a bike in the heat
