  2. Iswari Minar Swarga Sal

    A handy reference point among the chaos of the Old City is Iswari Minar Swarga Sal near Tripolia Gate. The minaret was erected by Jai Singh's son, Iswari, who later killed himself rather than face the advancing Maratha army. As the ultimate act of Rajput loyalty, 21 wives and concubines committed jauhar on his funeral pyre. You can climb to the top of the minaret for excellent views over the old city.

  3. Royal Gaitor

    The site of the royal cenotaphs, just outside the city walls, is an appropriately restful place to visit, and still feels remarkably undiscovered. Surrounded by a straggling village, the monuments bear much beautiful, intricate carving. The marble cenotaph of Maharaja Jai Singh II is particularly impressive.
