Heritage Walking Tour of Amber

Earlier Amber was the capital of Kachhawaha dynasty for 6 centuries before it was moved to newly created Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan. Structures belonging to 16th century onwards are present in the Amber fort in a very wonderful position, but structures belonging to early centuries have disappeared or damaged from the Fort.

Amber Palace is a very prominent tourist attraction of Jaipur and is surely visited by tourists, but very few people gets opportunity to explore the beautiful and scenic town of Amber and observe its rich tradition and custom.
