Overview
Amer (Amber) Fort is the great hilltop palace-fortress of the Kachhwaha rulers, begun in 1592 above Maota Lake, about 11 km north of Jaipur. Its Diwan-i-Aam, the mirror-work Sheesh Mahal and the painted Ganesh Pol make it the region’s outstanding sight and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Pink Line does not run north to Amer: take the metro into the walled city, then continue by city bus or auto-rickshaw along the Amer road.
