More adventuring in the Amer Fort area near Jaipur. I found the secret passageway that allows you to walk from Amer Fort to Jaigarh Fort, meaning no need to deal with the scammy rickshaw drivers outside. Okay, the path is not really a secret but it isn't easy to find either. There's no signs or anything.
A 20 minute uphill trek takes you to the entrance of the fort. If you watched my video with the Jaipur rickshaw driver, this is the walk that my rickshaw driver said was impossible. It wasn't impossible, just a big effort. An even bigger effort for me as I was trying to run away from my Indian stalkers on the way up there.
While the overall structure of Jaigarh Fort is less impressive than Amer Fort it has one of the most amazing views I've ever seen. Jaigarh Fort looks down over Amer Fort as it was actually built to protect it.
There wasn't much inside the fort but I was entertained thanks to one of the security guards who became my unofficial guide. This is quite a common thing to happen at these types of places in India. The guards get paid low wages but make a decent sum on the side by giving tourists a lot of extra information about the place.
These guys usually walk up to you and start giving you unsolicited information about the place. They never ask first if you want to hire them for a guide or for what price. I wouldn't really call that a scam as it's pretty obvious what they're doing and you can get rid of them pretty easily if you don't want their services. They do always ask for more money no matter what you pay them though. It's standard to give them 100 - 200 rupees.
