There were two ways to reach the Amber fort as it is situated on a hill. One was for elephant riding, and another was walk-way which was in the natural raw shape of hill and rock way. Now, the walk-way is modified in the shape of new cemented staircases. Now, one road from the bottom of the hill to Amber fort for vehicles also has been constructed, but to enjoy the trip of Amber Fort, the walk-way or elephant riding is most preferable. Riding an elephant uphill seems a cliche for tourists. But it helps to feel the ambiance and plunging deeper in India. The elephant ride offers a skyline view of the Pink city and a mesmerizing sight over Maotha Lake.
