Travel tips
- Buy the composite ticket — it covers Amber, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal and more for far less.
- Take a shared auto or the low-floor city bus to Amber Fort instead of a private cab.
- Eat at Rawat for pyaaz kachori and LMB/Masala Chowk for a cheap thali of dal-baati-churma.
- Stay near the walled city so the bazaars and City Palace are walkable.
