Questions about this tour

Are monument tickets included?

Tickets are bought at each monument; I will tell you which ones your day needs.

Can we do this tour in the afternoon instead?

Yes, but Amer is hotter and busier after late morning. An early start is the better experience, especially from April to June.

What should we wear or carry?

Comfortable shoes for Amer's ramps and steps, water, a hat, and covered shoulders or a scarf for the temple inside the fort.

Can we combine it with another tour?

Yes. It pairs well with the Nahargarh sunset in the evening, with a rest at your hotel in between.
