But in Jaipur, the imagination gets wings. Jaigarh Fort is an unbelievable means to feel like flying high in the sky mentally and to perceive the lifestyle of emperor of the grand realm.

It is also called the victory fort. The charm of the fort does not end at the spectacular view and architecture it presents before tourists. It has more than a few palaces, well managed repository, cannon foundry, beautiful temples and a tall tower.
Jaivan canon- the largest canon of the world, securely placed here, is the main highlight and centre of attraction for tourists. There are all in all 3 underground tanks which are capable of storing 60, 00,000 gallons of water. Another very interesting thing to explore inside Jaigarh Fort is armory and museum
