Nahargarh Fort- The Pride of Aravalli Hills

If the walled city is the heart of Jaipur, the Nahargarh Fort is its peak. One of the key attractions of the historic town, the Fort lends a breathtaking view of the entire city, which looks mesmerizing especially during the night. It was originally named Sudarshangarh before being called as Nahargarh which means ‘abode of tigers’. The vast landscape in the periphery of the Fort gives a glimpse into the thrill of the jungle.Due to a large number of tigers and wildlife around, it was also a favorite hunting destination of Maharajas.

Nahargarh Fort was built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh as a place of retreat to enjoy the scenic view of the city. It was extended in 1868 by Sawai Ram Singh. The Madhavendra Bhawan in the Fort has suites for queens of the Jaipur Maharaja along with a head suite for the king himself. All rooms are connected by corridors and display wall paintings. The Fort is connected to the Jaigarh Fort (the old capital of Amber) through large wall Fortifications on the Aravali hills.

Lately, Jaipur wax museum has become another attraction of the Fort which was constructed by the Department of Archaeology & Museums Jaipur, Department of Tourism, Government of Rajasthan in 2016.It currently hosts more than 35 wax and silicon statues of famous personalities such as Maharaja Jai Singh, Sawai Ram Singh, Rajmata Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur, Madho Singh and many others along with the robotic tiger and near-perfect replica of Kohinoor diamond.
