Sunset Ramparts
A fort on the Aravalli ridge: the best sunset over the Pink City, with ramparts running the crest like a miniature Great Wall.
The "abode of tigers" on the Aravalli ridge: a fort with the whole pink city below, from the street grid and the palace to far hills with walls running the crests like a miniature Great Wall. Inside, the frescoed Madhavendra palace. Arrive forty minutes before sunset; stay for tea on the bastion as the city lights come on.
