Here are some of them! So next time when you visit Rajasthan you know what not to miss.

Nahargarh Fort

Nahargarh Fort is one of the oldest forts. Located on the edge of the Aravalli Ranges, it offers the most panoramic sunrise and city view. The tickets for the fort are affordable. Also, The cost is nothing in comparison to the magnificence it offers.

Ordinarily, people in large numbers have always come to experience this view, compelling the Department of Archaeology, which manages the fort to give a certain spot for sunrise. As it is a popular hangout spot for youths, the Sunrise experience from Nahargarh is a bit chaotic. Loud noises, Music, Liquor bottles, packets of chips, and beer cans on the roadside are pretty common sights. For these reasons, it is called the Open Air Bar of Jaipur.

Reaching Nahargarh Fort is not a big deal. One can reach via Hill Road or walking camp.

Jal Mahal

Jal Mahal or Water Palace at Mansagar Lake gives an alluring sunrise and sunset view. One of the main advantages of this place is its proximity to the main city. You can easily reach the spot via Ola or Uber.

Surrounded by a lake, this place is like splendid scenery. The view of the lake over sunrise is very delightful and spectacular.
