Jaigarh Fort

What people say, in short
Jaigarh Fort is a regular stop on a Jaipur fort circuit, and commenters recommend pairing it with Amer and Nahargarh. One commenter says it can be covered together with those forts in a single day if you start early, while another notes it sits just behind Amer and is worth an hour if you can spare it. One commenter singles out its giant cannon as a reason to visit, and another considers it among the better-looking forts in the city. Be realistic with timing, though: one commenter cautions that exploring Amer and Jaigarh together can easily fill an entire day.
