Historic tower

Isarlat, also called Sargasuli

Isarlat, popularly called Sargasuli, is a tall historic tower in Jaipur's old city. It was built in the 18th century after Sawai Ishwari Singh's victory at the Battle of Rajmahal. Its narrow profile rises above the surrounding market lanes and can be seen from several parts of the walled city. The tower is included in Rajasthan's protected-monument list, though visitor access can vary.

What to know

Isarlat gives you a different view of the old city from its forts and palaces. Its height and compact form make it an unusual landmark within the dense street grid. If access is open, the climb offers a chance to understand how Jaipur's rooftops, bazaars and monuments fit together. The surrounding lanes are part of the visit too.

Good to Know

Do not assume the tower is open for climbing. Confirm access with the relevant heritage authority or local staff before making a special trip. The nearby streets can be crowded and narrow. If entry is closed, you can still look for the tower from public streets without blocking shopfronts or traffic.
