Built in 1734 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the founder of Jaipur, Nahargarh Fort was primarily constructed as a place of retreat and a defensive stronghold. It was strategically positioned on the Aravalli hills, connected to the larger Jaigarh Fort through its fortifications. The fort was later expanded in 1868, with the addition of the magnificent Madhavendra Bhawan by Sawai Ram Singh II.

Real experiences from real travelers
Booked a sunset tour and it was worth every penny. The view as the sun goes down and the city lights come on is absolutely breathtaking. Our guide was fantastic, sharing stories you wouldn't get just walking around. Highly recommend!
The architecture inside Madhavendra Bhawan is stunning. So many beautiful photo opportunities. It does get very crowded at the main sunset points, so my advice is to find a quieter spot along the walls. Booking our ticket online saved us a long wait in the queue.
We chose to go in the morning to avoid the sunset rush, and it was a great decision. It felt like we had the place to ourselves. The intricate details in the palace are incredible. A must-see in Jaipur for history and architecture lovers.
I was surprised by how much there was to see. The main palace is a maze of beautiful rooms, and we also visited the wax museum which was fun. The view is the main attraction, of course. We used a tour with a car which made getting up the steep hill very easy.
The panoramic view of Jaipur is incredible. We grabbed a drink at the cafe on the terrace and just soaked it all in for an hour. It's a great place to unwind after a hectic day of sightseeing in the city. The fort itself is interesting, but the view is the real star.
Booking through this platform was seamless. We got our tickets instantly and just showed the QR code at the entrance. The fort itself is magnificent, much larger than I expected. The history is fascinating, and the views are simply unbeatable. A highlight of our Rajasthan trip.
Every corner of this fort is a photo opportunity. From the grand ramparts to the colorful doorways of the palace, I couldn't stop taking pictures. The sunset light is perfect. It can be a bit of a hike in some parts, so wear good shoes.
You cannot come to Jaipur and miss Nahargarh at sunset. It's just one of those iconic travel moments. We booked a guided tour which was excellent value, as the guide pointed out so many details we would have missed on our own. Absolutely magical.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Nahargarh Fort is typically open to visitors every day from 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM. However, timings can sometimes vary, so it's always a good idea to check the specific details of the tour you book.
The most popular and recommended time to visit is in the late afternoon, around 4:00 PM, to explore the fort and then watch the spectacular sunset over Jaipur. Mornings are also a great option for fewer crowds and pleasant weather.
The basic entry fee set by the government is around ₹50 for Indian nationals and ₹200 for foreign tourists. Tour prices vary significantly based on inclusions like a guide, transportation, and combo tickets with other forts.
While not strictly necessary, it is highly recommended to book tickets or tours in advance, especially during the peak tourist season (October to March) and for sunset viewings. Booking online allows you to skip the often long ticket queues.
The fort is about a 30-40 minute drive from the city center. You can hire an auto-rickshaw, a taxi, or use a ride-sharing app. The road is steep and winding, so ensure you have an experienced driver. Many guided tours include comfortable, air-conditioned transportation.
Yes, there are a few options. Padao Restaurant is a popular open-air restaurant for drinks and snacks with a great view (entry fee may apply). There are also other smaller cafes and stalls within the fort complex where you can buy water, soft drinks, and light snacks.
Unfortunately, due to its historic nature with steep slopes, many stairs, and uneven cobblestone paths, Nahargarh Fort is not considered wheelchair friendly and may be challenging for visitors with mobility impairments.
To fully appreciate the fort, its palaces, and the views, you should plan for at least 2 to 3 hours. If you plan to stay for sunset and have a meal, allocate 3 to 4 hours.
It is possible, but it would be a very rushed day. The three forts are geographically close but each requires significant time to explore. A more relaxed itinerary would be to combine Amber Fort and Jaigarh Fort on one day, and visit Nahargarh Fort on another afternoon for the sunset experience.
