More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
By dawn you leave Delhi's skyline behind, the highway unfurling east toward the low Aravalli ridgeline. The car hums, cool air conditioning cutting through the morning heat as the sprawl narrows into ochre fields and villages. By mid-morning the approach to Amber Fort reveals stepped walls rising against scrubby hills; a few monkeys watch from fig trees, curious and bold.
