Checking in at a 400-year-old castle in India, once a princely palace, now the hottest local attraction

Amber Fort gets its name from being located on a small hill called Amber, and this palace built in 1592 was the old capital of a certain Indian prince, and now it has become the most worthwhile attraction in Jaipur. From a distance, it looks like a monarch draped in the afterglow of the sunset, solemn and mysterious. The white carvings leap among it, like the brightest stars in the night sky, quietly telling the glory of the past. Stepping into the castle is like traveling through the corridor of time, where every brick and tile bears the weight of the years. The spires point to the sky, the murals whisper ancient legends, and the carvings are proof of the craftsmen's ingenuity. Those colorful murals, with their unique language, tell one story after another about love and war, life and death. Standing here, Tagore's verses gently ring in one's ears: 'Let life be as splendid as summer flowers, let death be as peaceful as autumn leaves.' Amber Fort is not just an architectural masterpiece; it is a microcosm of the Indian soul, a tapestry of history and culture interwoven. Every stone, every piece of rubble, hums the past's splendor and sorrow. It is India's pride and a treasure of the world. If there is enough time, be sure to walk up the hill, where you can visit Amber Fort from different angles and feel the unique charm of this ancient castle.
