Nahargarh Fort, meaning 'abode of tigers,' sits on the edge of the Aravalli hills and provides a breathtaking vantage point over Jaipur. The fort's walls and palaces, including the Madhavendra Bhawan, feature frescoed rooms. The scenic drive up the winding road is an attraction in itself. At sunset, the city lights begin to twinkle below. A wax museum within the fort adds a modern twist, with lifelike figures of Indian historical figures and celebrities.
