Standing tall on the Cheel ka Teela (Hill of Eagles), Jaigarh Fort is one of Jaipur’s most powerful and well-preserved forts. Built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1726, it was designed to protect the nearby Amer Fort and its palace complex. The fort is famous for housing the world’s largest cannon on wheels, Jaivana Cannon, and offers breathtaking views of the Aravalli Hills and Maota Lake below. With its massive walls, watchtowers, and underground passages, Jaigarh Fort gives visitors a glimpse into Rajasthan’s royal military history. It’s a perfect spot for travelers who love history, architecture, and panoramic landscapes.
