Good fort.. guides won’t trouble much here. There is a restaurant inside, and if you want to eat in it, you don’t need to buy tickets. So you literally pay nothing for tickets here if you planning on eating too. Big water tanks, towers, a big canon which was only ever tested only once and it made so much sound that the people who fired it became deaf even though jumped in water… and the provision made to jump in water is interesting to watch.

A huge fort which hosts a huge huge cannon. You can walk along the magnificent walls of the fort and get a very good view from there. But except for the huge cannon and the view there is the nothing much to see. You either visit this or Nahargarh fort. Visiting both is not really worth it if you are on a tight schedule of day or 2 in Jaipur. This is usually deserted a little compared to Amer fort. So monkeys fill the space. Beware of the monkey menace. I recommend carrying a stick with you while walking along the fort walls just in case you encounter monkeys.
