We’d seen Jaigarh Fort looming above us as we explored Amber Fort that morning.

Now we looked down to see Amber Fort spread out below.

Built in the eighteenth century by Jai Singh II to protect Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort is an engineering feat whose walls enclose over three kilometers, including Amber Fort with Maota Lake gleaming like a jewel so far below, and the artificial Man Sagar Lake, water supply for Jaigarh fort.
