Nahargarh Fort is the first three forts built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in 1734. Situated 6 km North West of City Palace, it provides some stunning views of Jaipur down below the Man Sagar Lake. Many of the old structures within the fort are in bad condition, except the one added by Sawai Singh II and Sawai Madho Singh II

In the midst of this lake, is a palatial duck blind, which was used for shooting parties by the erstwhile royal family. A royal retreat for the Maharanis, it was also used as a personal treasury for many years.
The road from Amber through the hills can be traveled by jeep or by rickshaw zigzagging for a distance of one and a half kilometres before it straightens out to reveal the approach to Jaipur
