Isarlat (Swargasuli Tower)
ईसरलाट / सरगासूली
A seven-storey victory tower in the heart of the old city. From the top, you get a 360-degree view of the Pink City and Nahargarh Fort on the hills in the distance.
Isarlat Tower was built in 1749 by Ishwari Singh to commemorate a victory in battle. Standing about 60 metres tall, it is one of the tallest historic buildings in the Pink City, and locals call it the 'Sky-Touching Tower.' You climb to the top along a narrow spiral ramp, where you can overlook the Tripolia Bazaar, the City Palace and Jantar Mantar, and look out over Nahargarh Fort and the roofs of the old city. The entrance is hidden in a lane behind the shops of Tripolia Bazaar. Tickets are inexpensive, though the price for foreigners is higher; check the current rate on site.
