If you wish to enjoy a wonder of the world from a UNESCO site – the iconic Taj Mahal viewed from Agra Fort – consider planning your visit during the later hours of the day in winters (specifically, the latter half of December and the entire month of January). During this period, heavy fog can obstruct the view in mornings. In contrast, in the summer months, the Taj Mahal is visible from sunrise to sunset without such hindrances.

Many tourists opt for elephant rides when ascending Amer Fort in Jaipur. It's important to note that these elephants are female, chosen for their generally calmer demeanor compared to males. However, as elephants were never meant to walk on stones, many have unfortunately become partially blind.

To promote the well-being of these animals, it's recommended to avoid riding elephants on the way to Amer Fort. Instead, use your car to reach the fort's gate and enjoy your tour.

If you're keen on experiencing an elephant ride, there's an elephant village nearby where you can do so. The elephants there walk on natural terrain, ensuring their health and well-being. Consider this alternative to support the ethical treatment of these majestic creatures.
