The Experience
Before You Go
Start at sunrise
Begin early to avoid mid-day heat and long lines at Amber Fort; many sights are more atmospheric in soft morning light.
Carry ID and small cash
Bring passport or ID copies for monument entry and small bills for local purchases or tips; most admissions are paid on-site.
Wear grippy shoes
Expect uneven stone steps and cobbled lanes—sturdy walking shoes reduce fatigue and slip risk.
Hydrate and rest
Ten hours of touring can be tiring—pack a refillable water bottle and plan short breaks between monuments.
