Amber Fort: Beautiful Outside and From a Distance!





J
Jaipur's main attraction is the Amber Fort.  This fort is impressive from the outside with its massive walls.  Inside the fort, it has sprawling grounds but there is nothing much to see as the rooms of the fort/palace are bare and stripped of any adornments and fixtures.

Amber Fort is also not well maintained with  paint of the walls  peeling off and I did not see any efforts at restoration.  Nevertheless, it continues to be a major tourist attraction in India and is a popular site for shooting bollywood films.  At that time that of my visit they were filming what looked like an epic bollywood movie in the fort grounds.
