Jaigarh Fort

Jaigarh Fort is a formidable 18th-century structure located on the Aravalli hills, 15 kilometres from Jaipur. Built under Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, it stretches over 3 kilometres and houses the world’s largest cannon on wheels, the Jaivana, designed for defensive purposes. The fort offers sweeping views of the Amber Fort and Jaipur's sprawling landscape. Visit for its impressive architecture and the well-preserved museum that showcases the fort's history.
