Every forts video worth watching in Rajasthan — in one place

Rajasthan’s forts are not a uniform set — they were built across six centuries by rival Rajput houses, and the differences are worth knowing before you queue for tickets. Amber, just outside Jaipur, dates to 1592 and blends Hindu carving with Mughal arches across four courtyards; entry runs about seven US dollars for foreign visitors and there is a discount on a valid student ID [via How To Spend 2 Days In JAIPUR]. Mehrangarh in Jodhpur sits on a 36-metre sandstone wall and houses palaces, museums, and a city-wide panoramic view [via Best Things to Do in Jodhpur]. Jaisalmer’s Sonar Kila is the rarity — still inhabited, with private homes, shops, restaurants, and Jain temples inside [via Top 10 things to do in JAISALMER]. Kumbhalgarh’s perimeter wall runs more than 36 kilometres, second only to the Great Wall of China, and is the birthplace of Maharana Pratap [via These are India’s most well kept secret].

The “Top 10 Best Places to Visit in Rajasthan” video is the foundational overview — it places Mehrangarh, Chittorgarh, Junagarh in Bikaner, and the Amber-Jaigarh-Nahargarh trio of Jaipur within the wider city tour, useful as a filter. Pair it with “How To Spend 2 Days In JAIPUR”, which surfaces the underground tunnel connecting Amber to Jaigarh — a long, eerie walk that locals use to bypass the main road traffic when visiting both forts in one day. One creator notes that the elephant rides up to Amber are best skipped in favour of walking the ramp, where the views over Maota Lake are better anyway.
