Investigating the Jaipur Forts during School Trips to India

 School tours to the fascinating country of India are perfect for enabling students to experience a different climate, culture, and history of an important part of the world. India is the seventh largest country in the world, and is home to well over a billion people. Evidence of human settlement dates back some over time, the history that has developed has been rich and intriguing.

School tours to the country will no doubt take in the major attractions, but it is also worthwhile spending a little time getting to know some of the other cities that have their own unique heritage and cultures. One such city is the so-called "pink city" of Jaipur. Located just to the west of the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, Jaipur is filled with beautiful and historically significant fortresses that have to be seen to truly believe.

Amber Fort

It would be easy enough to spend entire days on the itinerary of school tours in Jaipur, just wandering around the Amber Fort - it is nothing short of massive. It was built on a forested hill overlooking the town of Amer (which is spelt Amer, but pronounced Amber) by Raja Man Singh in the late. The fort is divided into four main sections with their own entryways and four courtyards. Inside lies the Palace of Man Singh I, which is the oldest part of the fort. The view over the lake, and back towards the fort as well, is stunning - enhanced by the constant breeze that brushes over the water and into the complex.

Jaigargh Fort

Next, head to the Jaigargh Fort, which overlooks the Amber Fort and Maota Lake from the Cheel ka Teela. It was built four hundred metres higher than the Amber Fort and sits a good fifteen kilometres away from the city of Jaipur; its thick red sandstone walls stretch for an astonishing three kilometres. It was considered to be the hardest of the three nearby forts to sack and is home to the world's largest cannon, the Jaivana, which has only ever been fired once.

Nahargarh Fort

If there is still time on the itinerary of your school tours, you should head to the third local fort, the Nahargarh Fort. Overlooking the pink city of Jaipur, the Nahargarh Fort commands stunning views and is worth the trip for that alone, but the history of the fort is also fascinating. Built mostly in 1734, the Nahargarh Fort was part of the three-fortress protection of Jaipur. Though it is the smallest of the three forts, Nahargarh Fort has never actually come under attack.
