The eleventh day was spent touring some great spots of Jaipur.
Amber Fort / Palace
Riding an elephant up to the Amber Fort was yet another great highlight. Recently I found out that Steven Spielberg wanted to film a scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom here. However, the Indian government put them through so much red tape that they skipped it and filmed Indy riding up to a large matte painting.

Jantar Mantar
Jantar Mantar was the royal observatory of Jai Singh built in the early 1700s. His passion for astronomy was amazing.. There are sundials and other instruments for observing the stars. It was extremely impressive.
