Photo Travelogue :
Read first part - Here!

After I left Amer Fort, I got into an auto who agreed to take me to both Jaigarh and Nahargarh Forts at Rs.120/- I was like, wow! Good deal! Its on the same route and very doable within couple of minutes of each other. And both these forts are just behind Amer. So, make sure to do the trio when there. We go the same way that we had come ( when arriving from Jaipur ); but, midway, we take a right turn on a road, that goes up the hill. Its quite a steep climb at some places...
