Amber Palace & Fort 1

Jaipur is famous for its Amber Palace and Fort built in 1590 - top pic. Because of drought, the Raj moved his palace into the city of Jaipur in the 18th century.
Tourist get up the 1km steep, uphill trek to the palace/fort on elephants. There are 122 elephants that provide this service - only during the morning hours.
Bottom pic is of me on my elephant transport.
