The fort is splendid and very well kept. It looks as if the Maharadja would still live there. The fort also provides one with stunning views of the blue city and Jaswant Thanda (a marble memorial to one of the Rajastani rulers). The fort was built in the 16th century has never ever been defeated.
When I left the fort, I wanted to take a rickshaw to Jaswat Thanda and a guy offered me to take me there for the rip-off price of 50Rs. I offered 20Rs and he accepted. However, on the way to his rickshaw there was a sign citing that it's only half a kilometer away. Thus, I decided to walk.
The Jaswant Thanda is a very beautiful marble memorial to the popular ruler Jaswant Singh II (1878-95). Nowadays, it's used as a cremation site for the Maharadjas.
Later, I took a stroll through the narrow alleys of the old town with its bustling trading life. It's not as congested as other cities I've been to but still, the odd cow hinders auto-rickshaws, motor-cycles and pedestrinas to come by.
