In the morning take an excursion to Amber fort with joy ride on an Elephant. Perched on a hill some 11km from Jaipur, and nestling among the Aravalli Hills, is the historic fort-palace of Amber. Set in a picturesque background, the splendid Amber Fort (Jaigarh) was built in 1600 by Raja Man Singh, commander-in-chief of the Mughal army during Akbar's reign and certainly one the greatest general of medieval India. The fort also made the headlines after Independence when it was supposed to be the most likely hiding place of the Kuchwahas' famous lost treasure. As India entered into a new dawn after its independence from the British and as a result, the princely states have to submit to the Indian Union, there was fear among the rulers that their huge fortunes may be confiscated by the government. Though the Income tax sleuths scoured the fort with metal detectors but found nothing. Afternoon city tour of Jaipur, visit City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Observatory.
