One could see the Jaigarh Fort in the distance protecting the Amber Fort ramparts, as they are both considered one single complex connected by a subterranean passage, as well as the Kesar Kyari Bagh with its star-shaped flower beds said to have been once planted with saffron flower (kesar).
The farthest end of the fort was converted into a "zenana" (women's quarter), where we could still see some faint traces of frescos.
When the visit was over we drove towards the Man Sagar Lake where the Jal Mahal ( Water Palace) could be seen in the distance. Built in the mid-eighteenth century by Madho Sing I it looked quite interesting as far as the architecture is concerned.
