Sajjan Garh, a former monsoon palace 1100 foot high above the surrounding and 3100 foot from sea level, was built by Maharana Sajjan Singh in 1884. This palace is absolutely amazing, it offers a panoramic overview of the city's lakes, palaces and surrounding country side and you can just wander around inside as you like. It is exactly how it was 100 years ago, it’s like the family just left and took all the furniture. You can just stand on these bedroom balconies and imagine that you are back in time. Irene and I spent quite a while wandering around and imagining ourselves back in time! The views were spectacular and the whole surrounding area is wooded as the former rulers had a royal shooting preserve there. Now there is a nature museum downstairs and you can see loads of different wildlife in the area.
