Amber Palace

Removed from Unnamed collection

Amber, pronounced 'Amer,' is nestled just about 11 kilometers from Jaipur. This captivating site is now a UNESCO World Heritage location, and it was once the stronghold of the Kachwahas of Amber. The royal family eventually moved the capital to the plains, creating what we now know as Jaipur. Perched amidst rugged hills, the palace is a stunning blend of Hindu and Mughal architectural styles. Each corner of the palace tells a story, with its intricate carvings and grand courtyards.

Exploring Amber is like stepping back in time. The Sheesh Mahal, or the Hall of Mirrors, is particularly enchanting. Imagine candlelight reflecting off thousands of tiny mirrors, creating a dazzling spectacle. The views from the palace are equally breathtaking, offering sweeping vistas of the surrounding landscape. Whether you're an architecture buff or a history enthusiast, Amber has something truly special to offer.
