Elephant is a suave and gentle animal. It can be easily be-friended without any hassles. And with the Mahout around, you will definitely not have any problem. The ride will be easy, cool and all the more comfortable one. The Mahout makes use of Ankush (a sharp hook like thing, which will guide the way of a tamed elephant as the Mahout pokes it on its back.) The entire body of elephant, including the trunk is embellished by Mahout and this gives a totally imposing feel to the Elephant. Keep in your mind that you hold the support tightly and maintain the balance during the climbing and descend. This is quite important to consider.

All through the ride, you will be accompanied by a local tour guide who will inform you about the area as well as the Fort. Elephant ride to Amber Fort is truly enjoyable and there are lots of hilarious moments that come across your ride.

Amber Fort is located at a distance of 11 kilometers from Jaipur. The fort was constructed in the year of 1592 by the Raja Man Singh. It is constructed in the mixture of red sandstone and marble. The fort is also well known by the name – Amber Palace.

While still on the Elephant’s back, you will be given a warm welcome at entry point, which is grand Singh Pol (Lion Gate) gateway and later you continue riding towards the Jaleb Chowk, or the courtyard. It is here that you will dismount from the Elephant.

Inside the Fort complex, there is Ganesh Pol, which is a magnificent gateway decorated with elephant-headed Hindu God, the Ganesha. Other key areas to explore are the Diwan-e-Khas or the ‘Hall of Private Audience’ and Diwan-e-Aam or the ‘Hall of Public Audience.’ Sukh Niwas has the cool breeze that moves across the water channels and this gives a cooling effect.

Make sure that you take the photographs with the Mahout and Elephant, as this will be a totally new experience. Remember, the thrill of riding on a decorated Elephant back is far more exciting and majestic as compared to riding on your private vehicle. Few things are made for enjoyment and fun, and Elephant ride to Amber Fort is one of them.

After the Amber Fort tour is completed, you will travel back to the pink city of Jaipur in the vehicle and unwind yourself at the hotel.
