Sitting atop a hill outside Jaipur, the Amber Fort is similar to Agra Fort and Red Fort in the sense that both were built around the same time, with the same materials, for the same purpose. The main difference I found was that Amer Fort was atop a hill allowing me to see the surrounding landscape and also required a bit of a trek to the main entrance. Because of this, there were three options, I could either drive to the top, walk to the top, or take an elephant to the top. I opted for the elephant.

| these particular elephants were painted for decoration |
