Discover the history, culture and royal heritage of Amer in one unforgettable day — with House of Amer as your home base.
Amer is more than just the magnificent Amer Fort. Behind its grand palaces and historic walls lies a living heritage of old havelis, temples, royal stories, traditional food and spectacular views of the Aravalli hills.
For guests visiting Jaipur from around the world, here is how we recommend spending one perfect day exploring Amer — combining heritage, culture, forts, local experiences, sunset views and an authentic Rajasthani dinner.
6:30 AM — Wake Up to Bed Coffee at House of Amer
Begin your morning slowly at House of Amer, a beautifully restored heritage haveli overlooking the historic landscape of Amer.
Wake up to a freshly prepared bed coffee while the morning light begins to fall across the Aravallis. The early hours are among the most peaceful times to experience Amer, before the streets become busy with visitors.
After getting ready, begin your first experience of the day: a Heritage & Cultural Walk through old Amer.
7:00 AM — Heritage & Cultural Walk
Step outside the property and discover the Amer that exists beyond the famous forts.
Walk through the historic neighbourhoods and narrow lanes of old Amer, where centuries-old architecture and everyday local life come together. Visit the Old Palace, explore the historic Mera Temple, and hear stories of the people, traditions and royal connections that shaped this remarkable town.
This is an opportunity to experience Amer not simply as a tourist destination, but as a living part of Rajasthan’s heritage.
After the walk, return to House of Amer for a relaxed breakfast.
8:30 AM — Early Visit to Amer Fort
After breakfast, head towards the magnificent Amer Fort UNESCO.
The key to enjoying Amer Fort is arriving early — before the main crowds begin to arrive.
With an early skip-the-line entry, guests can explore the fort at a more relaxed pace and appreciate its courtyards, gateways, palaces and intricate architecture without the experience feeling rushed or overcrowded.
Take your time exploring the grand palace complex and learning about the rulers, artisans and stories that have made Amer Fort one of Rajasthan’s most iconic landmarks.
By late morning, return to House of Amer.
1:00 PM — Lunch & an Hour to Relax
After a morning of walking and exploring, enjoy lunch back at House of Amer.
Take an hour to slow down, relax and recharge. One of the advantages of staying at a heritage property in Amer is being able to return to your own peaceful space rather than spending the entire day travelling between sightseeing destinations.
3:00 PM — Jaigarh Fort & the Royal Foundry
In the afternoon, continue towards Jaigarh Fort, one of the most fascinating forts overlooking Amer.
Explore its impressive defensive architecture, historic water systems, royal quarters and the famous Jaivana Cannon, traditionally recognised as one of the world’s largest wheeled cannons.
The fort’s historic foundry offers another fascinating glimpse into the military and technological capabilities of the Rajput kingdoms.
Take time to enjoy the panoramic views of the Aravalli landscape and Amer below before continuing your journey.
5:30 PM — Nahargarh Fort & Jaipur at Sunset
As the afternoon begins to fade, make your way to Nahargarh Fort.
Arrive in time for sunset and watch Jaipur slowly transform as the last light falls over the Pink City.
From the fort, the city stretches out below, and as darkness arrives, Jaipur begins to sparkle with thousands of lights.
It is one of the most beautiful ways to experience the city — first in the golden evening light and then under the night sky.
8:00 PM — Rajasthani Cultural Dinner at House of Amer
Return to House of Amer for the final experience of your day.
End the evening with an authentic Rajasthani cultural dinner on the rooftop, surrounded by views of the historic Amer Fort and the Aravalli mountains.
Enjoy freshly prepared regional cuisine while experiencing the warmth and hospitality of Rajasthan.
After a day spent walking through old Amer, exploring royal forts, watching the sunset over Jaipur and discovering the stories of Rajasthan, dinner becomes more than just a meal — it is a chance to slow down and experience the culture through its food, traditions and setting.
A Day That Lets You Experience the Real Amer
A visit to Amer does not have to be limited to ticking famous monuments off a list.
The most memorable way to experience this historic town is to combine its heritage, architecture, stories, local culture, landscapes and food — while giving yourself enough time to actually enjoy each experience.
From a quiet morning bed coffee to an early visit to Amer Fort, from the historic foundry of Jaigarh to sunset at Nahargarh, and finally a Rajasthani dinner overlooking the Aravallis, this itinerary brings together the many sides of Amer in a single day.
And at the heart of it all is House of Amer — a heritage haveli that allows you to experience Amer not merely as a visitor, but as a guest immersed in its history and culture.
