Nahargarh Fort is located in the Pink City of Jaipur and is one of the many innumerable palaces and beautiful historical buildings that speak of the splendid and rich history of this city. Adorned with delicate carvings and stonework, the Nahargarh Fort is an impregnable structure that, along with its two neighboring forts – Amer and Jaigarh, once stood as a strong defense of the city of Jaipur. The fort was built through Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in the year 1734 as a retreat. With some breathtaking views of the city, Nahargarh Fort is known for its extended wall that connects it to the Jaigarh Fort. The fort is situated on a hill top and you can hire cabs or autorickshaws at the foot of the hill and trek the rest of the way.
The Nahargarh Fort was mainly used as a retreat for the women of the royal family and has a women's quarter by the name of 'Jenana'. Also known as Madhavendra Bhawan, 'Jenana' was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. Its counterpart, 'Mardana Mahal' was also constructed in the premises for the royal men. Another attraction of the Nahargarh Fort is the Nahargarh Biological Park, which is a haven for majestic animals like tigers, leopards and Asiatic lions. If you are near the Nahargarh Fort, then also the Padao Restaurant is a must visit, from where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city of Jaipur.
