Photo Travelogue :
Read first part - Here!
I take a bus right at the Hawa Mahal entrance, and head for Amer Fort. Since its a local bus it goes around and around the streets of the old city picking up passengers. The fare is under Rs.100, and we reach the Fort after 35-40 minutes. In private vehicle, it'd take far lesser time.
the bus finally leaves the old city via another pink gate...phew!
20+ minutes on, we pass by the Jal Mahal and another palace near it...
soon, the bus reaches a stretch where the road is carved out of the rocky hill...
from open tunnel to open space...the road clears...
and look, what comes to view ~ the Amer Fort...
