NAHARGARH FORT

Nahargarh fort, standing tall amidst the Aravalli range, is the pride of the city of Jaipur. Along with Amber Fort and Jaigarh fort, Nahargarh acted as a defensive circle to guard the city of Jaipur. The fort was formerly built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1734, seven years after he built the city of Jaipur. The fort was primarily built as a summer retreat for the royal king. It was one of the first of the three forts built by the Maharaja.

The fort is connected to Jaigarh Fort through a huge wall. In 1868, Nahargarh fort was extended by Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh. Later in 1880, Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh, gave the responsibility to Raj Imarat, who was responsible for undertaking royal construction projects for converting the fort into a monsoon retreat.

Do you know what is the most difficult part of living in Jaipur – this place will always find an excuse to ditch your diet plans cause not a week goes by and some restaurant opens up in some corner of the Pink City. No matter what goes with our diet plans, Jaipur Beat is again set to uncover another foodie outlet set in the most beautiful moods of the city near Albert Hall, Ram Niwas Bagh.

This is more special to those who were born and brought up in Jaipur, as somewhere deep in their memoirs this place carries the nostalgia of Ram Niwas Bagh’s Kiran Café, which was later converted into Sawan Badho Bagh by JMC. Deep inside it was painful to see that go few years ago. But now the pomp is back with a new name- ‘Masala Chowk’ to celebrate the same tastes’ of Jaipur’s street food.
