After this, you will visit the Jaigarh Fort, a majestic fort situated on top the ‘Cheel ka Teela’ or the Eagle’s Hill. This fort offers nice panoramic views of the Maota Lake, Amer Fort and the city of Jaipur. The fort was built by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II in 1726 to observe the weather and to have a patrolling eye on the valley bellow against enemy attacks.

The dargah was constructed by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak, the first sultan of Delhi. The dargah was constructed in the 13th century after the demise of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. The Dargah holds a lot of spiritual significance in people from all faith. It not only attracts tourists from across the globe now, but it was also so significant in the old times, that even the Mughal Emperor Akbar visited it around 11 times during his regime.
After this spiritual encounter with the divine, you will head towards the Ana Sagar Lake, a beautiful man-made lake constructed in the 12th century by Anaji Chauhan, the grandfather of Prithviraj Chauhan. You can sit by the banks of the lake, take a leisurely stroll, or enjoy boating (at your own expense).
After spending some nice time at the serene Ana Sagar Lake, you will continue your journey towards Pushkar, where you will first check-in to your hotel to freshen-up and will then head towards the Pushkar lake.

The temple was constructed by Raja Amar Singh in the 19th century.
