Its corridors are adorned with intricate murals depicting various cultural influences from Europe, Egypt, Greece, Babylon and China. This unique blend of styles adds to the grandeur and beauty of this historic hall.

Isarlat, also known as Sargasuli, is a seven-storied minaret built by Sawai Ishwari Singh in 1749 to commemorate his victory over the combined armies of Mewar and Marathas. This magnificent structure stands at 140 feet tall with an octagonal shape and can be found between Choti Chopad and Tripolia gate in Tripolia Bazaar. Visitors can climb a flight of stairs to reach the top where they will be rewarded with stunning views of the entire city. Isarlat is not only a symbol of architectural excellence but also serves as a reminder of Jaipur's rich history and royal lineage.

Galtaji Temple, also known as the Monkey Temple, is a renowned and ancient Hindu pilgrimage site. This historical location boasts not just one, but a series of temples that encircle the hills and overlook the stunning city of Jaipur. With its rich history and beautiful surroundings, it's no wonder this temple has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
There is a series of seven Holy Kunds, blessed as reservoirs of holy water by natural springs and nearby waterfalls.

Made entirely of marble with intricate designs and artistry, each cenotaph is a masterpiece. The central one dedicated to Maharaja Jai Singh II is especially impressive.

Perched atop a ridge of the Aravalli Hills, Nahargarh Fort stands as an impressive backdrop to Jaipur. Initially built in 1734 during Jai Singh's reign, it was later expanded in 1868. The fort's name translates to "abode of tigers," and it served as a formidable defense against enemies for the city of Jaipur.
The views from Nahargarh Fort are not only the finest in Jaipur, but they are also some of the most breathtaking I've ever seen. One popular activity among locals and tourists alike is watching the sunset from Padao Restaurant at Nahargarh Fort. From up there, you can take in a panoramic view of the entire city. It's truly a sight to behold!
