What people say, in short
Nahargarh Fort is a popular stop on Jaipur itineraries, with many commenters calling it a must-visit, especially for its sunset and night views over the city, and one visitor ranks it just behind Amer Fort. A couple of commenters suggest going at sunrise or on a weekday to dodge crowds, since the sunset point gets busy, and one says it can be paired with Jaigarh and Amer in one day, though another feels it needs five to six hours including the return trip. Caveats: two commenters advise against going there alone, one of them after dark, since the fort is secluded, and one found it hard to get a cab back after sunset. Reports on closing time conflict, so check before going.
