Amer Fort: Amer Town Walking Tour

Discover Amer Beyond the Fort

Explore secret alleys and hidden stepwells with Tourismo's GPS guided walking tour.

Highlights of the Tour

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Amer Fort lies Amer Town, an often-overlooked historic settlement that once served as the thriving heart of the Kachhwaha kingdom before Jaipur was founded.

While most visitors focus only on the grand fort above, Amer Town holds centuries of stories within its narrow lanes, ancient temples, stepwells, and traditional homes. These streets reveal how people lived, worshipped, traded, and built a vibrant community beneath the shadow of the fort.

Tourismo's audio guide takes you beyond the fort walls and into the living heritage of Amer. Through a carefully crafted, GPS-guided journey, you'll explore hidden architectural gems, local legends, and the cultural fabric that shaped this historic town.

Some unique aspects covered in the tour:

The sacred temples that made Amer a spiritual center long before Jaipur existed
The story of Panna Meena Ka Kund and the ingenious stepwell architecture of the region
Hidden streets and historic homes that still preserve centuries-old craftsmanship
The connection between Amer Town, Amer Fort, and the later founding of Jaipur
