Amber Fort Heritage Walk

While most tourists drive up to Amber Fort, a heritage walk through the old town of Amer at the foot of the fort reveals hidden gems. This was the original capital before Jaipur was built.

The walk takes you through narrow lanes passing by 300-year-old temples, ancient stepwells (baoris), and ruined havelis. You visit the Panna Meena ka Kund, a beautiful historic stepwell with symmetrical stairs that is less crowded and incredibly photogenic.

You also explore the Anokhi Museum of Hand Printing, located in a restored haveli, dedicated to the art of woodblock printing. It offers a deeper cultural context to the grandeur of the fort looming above.
