The Nahargarh Fort is located at a distance of 6 kilometers from the Jaipur city. It is nestled just below the Jaigarh Fort. Jaipur was once the main center for the Rajputs and every little pain was taken to develop and beautify it. As a result one will come across many forts and palaces. While some of the forts were built simply to strengthen the district`s military prowess the others stand as glaring examples of the artistic genius of an age that has long passed away. Even centuries later they keep on attracting travelers. The Nahargarh Fort is one such monument.

In the year 1734 the fort was built by Maharaja Jai Sawai Singh. It was one of the three forts that were commissioned by the king. The fort is located atop a rugged peak of the Aravallis. The main highlight of the fort is that it offers a picturesque view of the city. In the ancient times such a position made the fort inaccessible to the enemies. It was quite easy for the sentries to keep a watch on the enemy movement outside the boundary walls of the fort. The fort was further strengthened by the later additions made to it by the successive rulers.

The term Nahargarh literally means "the Abode of Tigers." there are several buildings that are located within the fort. The noteworthy buildings amongst these are Madhavendra Bhawan. Built by the first king the room has several interconnected rooms with resplendent hallways and corridors. This place was used as a picnic spot by the royal family. Another important attraction in the fort is the Man Sagar Lake. At night the fort is decorated with lights and the beauty of the fort at this point of time is indescribable. The Nahargarh Fort stands tall in Jaipur district as a symbol of royal grandeur.
