The Pink City of India, Jaipur is the hub of exquisite and breathtaking views which can make a person feel awestruck with nature and to add the flavor, this city comes with gorgeous art and architecture which allows a person experience the nature in such a way that it can never be experienced in any other ways. Simply, these views are an eye feast for any person who visits Jaipur.
Most of the forts are constructed on hills for both protection and many other purposes. Jaipur hill forts consist of Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort, and Nahargarh Fort, all of these exist in the city of Amer, which is 11km away from the pink city. But still, people include these forts in their itinerary whenever they visit the pink city. Out of these forts, the most beautiful fort is Nahargarh fort, constructed especially for the recreation and hunting purposes for Kings and Queens by the Maharaja Jai Singh.
The construction of this fort extends to the walls of the Jaigarh fort on the edge of the Aravalli Hill range. As the Jaigarh fort has constructed on the Hill of Eagles (Cheel ka Teela) highest peak, the Nahargarh Fort (the fort of Tigers) has constructed on the edge of the Aravalli mountain range. So, if you visit Jaigarh fort, you can see the same ghat road connecting both the forts and on the extreme side of the road, you will find the Nahargarh fort.
As this fort has constructed on the edge, a person can witness the whole panoramic view of Jaipur and Amer. You can see the spaces between the streets, Jantar-Mantar, Hotels, roads, parks, and many more from the top of the hill or the top of the fort.
Soon, after you enter through the main entrance, after walking a few steps and crossing Sheesh Mahal, you have to take a right, where you can find the viewpoint. You can go there by following the marble slabs which mention the route to that particular viewpoint from which you can see the pretty view of the Pink City. I have visited in the late afternoon and early evening and the view was really amazing and inexplicably awesome.
So, I have followed those slabs and reached the viewpoint after taking some rock stairs. There is a small pavilion protected with iron bars from which a person can view the whole Jaipur at once with one's naked eyes. Imagine, under the blue sky with dark clouds, the sun was setting up and its rays were penetrating through the gaps of the clouds and falling on the mountain areas, trees and the whole city of Jaipur. Including it, the cool mountain breeze, indeed fresh air, the chirping of birds, the hush-hush of visitors, everything that is included in nature can be seen at one shot.
It was amazing to grab such a view with my eyes and I spread my hands and appreciated the beauty of Jaipur and the whole scenic view of nature in and around the Nahargarh fort.
I thought that was the only viewpoint which could give me such a view but after exploring the premises of the fort and escalating the stairs of the Palace rooms of the fort, I reached the architectural terrace of the Palace from which one can have a 360-degree view of the fort, fort walls, fort passages, the bird's view of Jaipur. From the viewpoint, you can see a slight horizontal view of the Pink city but from the edge of the Aravalli mountain range and especially from the top of the fort, it looks even better.
So, the construction is perplexedly remarkable and if you view the architecture from the top of the terrace, it looks fascinating enough. A person must wander all the four sides of the palace terrace to look around the beauty of nature from various angles. The interesting factor is from every corner and every pillar and every umbrella-like structured, pavilion, you will find the change in the gorgeous beauty of Jaipur.
I found this when I started clicking pictures from the top of the Palace. I took two rounds wholly. Once to snap the pictures and cherish them forever and the second to observe all the intricate details of the fort construction and also the views of the whole city, especially the forest and mountain range of Aravalli around the Nahargarh Fort.
This fort used to host many kings and queen for their recreational activities and especially for hunting purposes. Tigers used to roam in this place and Nahar means tiger. Hence, this fort has named as a place for tigers, Nahargarh. This fort, from the top, gives a clear view of every single inch in and around it. The passages can be seen down and also one can easily spy the happenings of the city through telescopes.
The architecture of the fort, adds an extra flavor to the view of Jaipur from the Nahargarh Fort. You will go crazily mad after seeing such an unimaginable view. No wonder this place is one of the favorite spots for Bollywood movie and song directions. Recently, Guru Randhawa has also shot his movie song on this terrace in the song called "Surma". Check it out, if you want to compare the images I took when I have visited recently.
However, the view is unmissable and out of all the constraints and features of this fort, the natural constraint which allows a person to witness the god made beauty from the man-made construction is an exciting fact to explore. So, what are you waiting for, add this beautiful fort to witness such a spectacular view.
The pro tip is, leave all your smart phones and gadgets, just enjoy nature and appreciate its beauty with your naked eyes. You feel relaxed to the core. Try it!
