Out of three forts in Jaipur city, tourists mainly visit
Amber fort. The nearby Nahargarh and Jaigarh fort attracts less number of travelers.
One reason is that many travel companies plan for a single day in Jaipur which
is extremely hard to achieve if these two forts are included in the itinerary.

The fort has some excellent views of Jaipur.
The main attraction of Nahargarh is Madhavendra Palace. A
small Palace has some nicely designed rooms and halls.

Jaigarh fort is few km away from Nahargarh. It is known for
two main reasons. It houses the world’s largest cannon on the wheel.

The huge underground water tank is another wonder. People believed
that it contained hidden treasures prompting even Indian Government to order a
search!! Nothing was found though.

Amber, Nahargarh and Jaigarh fort are located near to each
other and one can easily visit all three together.

Your post took me down the memory lane. I and my wife visited Jaipur during December last year, and we had visited these forts early morning. Oh boy, what a view it was from atop these forts!
