Sagar Lake (Amer Sagar) is a serene, offbeat spot tucked right behind Amer Fort. Unlike the crowded tourist hubs, this centuries-old reservoir offers breathtaking views of the Aravalli hills, historic stone step-wells (ghats), and ancient fort walls. Visit during sunrise or the monsoon season when the surrounding hills turn lush green. It is free to visit, peaceful, and an absolute paradise for nature lovers and photographers! Tucked away past Kheri Gate behind Amer Fort, Sagar Lake is divided into Upper and Lower Sagar. It feels completely world-apart from the hustle of central Jaipur. Surrounded by rugged Aravalli hills, heritage fort walls, and ancient stone architecture, the atmosphere is calm, authentic, and peaceful
