We visited many forts and palaces on the tour. These were mostly in Rajasthan and they have a very rich history. The Amber Fort in Jaipur was one of the first we visited. I would say it was my favorite. The architecture was beautiful and the intricate carvings and ancient imported tiles and mirrors were breath-taking.
At another palace there was a king (in India known as a maharaja) who was 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. So much for me being tall!
At Tiger Fort we learned how sneaky these maharajas were. This fort was only inhabited for one generation. The king who lived here had 9 wives! He made 9 separate living quarters for each wife and had a secret passage way to get to any of their rooms without them knowing so they wouldn't get jealous. Very sneaky!
