Jaigarh Fort, perched on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles), is known for its massive cannon, Jaivana, which never fired in battle. The fort's robust walls and reservoirs showcase military engineering. Visitors can walk along the ramparts for 360-degree views of Jaipur, Amber Fort, and the Aravalli hills. The on-site museum displays weaponry and artifacts. Its strategic location and well-preserved structures make it a key historical site.

- Jaivana cannon, the world's largest wheeled cannon, weighing 50 tonnes
- Panoramic views of Jaipur city and Amber Fort from the ramparts
- Armory museum with a collection of swords, shields, and antique firearms
