Ranthambore Fort is the one place you can go without a permit so that is our goal today for a nice cultural visit with some birdwatching by the side

Arriving from Jaipur we spend part of the afternoon and evening exploring the gardens of our accomodation

Late afternoon we visit Albert Hall Museum which is quite popular followed late in the evening by a major temple near our accomodation

Gaitore Ki Chhatriyan is the royal crematorium grounds and worth a visit due to its serene setting and beautiful buildings

We stop shortly at Jal Mahal a palace built in the middle of the lake and inaccesible to tourists now and explore the lake for a short while

From Amber Fort we climb using the wall to Jaigarh Fort which is possibly off limits due to a wedding forcing us to get an undesired guide

The major stop for today is Amber Fort a Unesco WHS which was for 150 years the residence of the local rulers

We start the day with a short visit at Amer Stepwell a beautiful stepwell next to the Amber Palace

We end the day at the City Palace the former and current home of Jaipur maharajahs and opened partially now as a museum

Jantar Mantar was built in the 18th century and is an impressive assembly of stone-built astronomical instruments
