A hundred and twenty meters high, the hill was known as Bhakurcheeria, the Mountain of Birds, or Cheeriatunk, the Bird’s Beak. The fort has never been sieged.

It is the only living fort globally, and about a quarter of the city’s population still lives inside the fort. Many of the houses and temples showcase exquisitely skilled sculptures.
We will visit beautifully carved Havelis (private mansions), notably Salim Singh Haveli and Patwo Haveli. These Havelis were the elaborate homes of Jaisalmer’s wealthy merchants. They contain a courtyard and many rooms. The ostentatious carvings are etched in sandstone with intricate detail, then pieced together in different patterns.

There is a subtle sass in it’s stride, and it is all under the radar. Very few cities in the world blend the weight of tradition with the gait of cool. It plays effortlessly on the seesaw of the then and the now.
Jaipur has many attractions to visit, so depending on your interests, our driver will take you to monuments or places of your interest.
You can visit the Amber Fort, the Wind Palace (Hawa Mahal), the Water Palace (Jal Mahal), or the Birla Temple (Galtaji).

In the evening, end your tour by visiting the Govind Dev Ji Hindu temple (Lord Krishna’s temple) near the city palace. One of the essential practices in the temple is ‘Aartis’ and ‘Bhog’, which have taken place from the time temple was built, and people are continuing with the tradition today.
