About This Place

The Guardian of the Pink City

Perched along the rugged ridges of the Aravalli Hills, Nahargarh Fort overlooks the entire city of Jaipur, earning its reputation as the sentinel of the Pink City. Built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the fort was designed as part of Jaipur’s defensive ring, alongside Amber and Jaigarh forts.
With its scenic location and historic charm, Nahargarh is celebrated for its panoramic views and royal retreat ambiance.
