You might want to time a visit to the western rampart just after sunrise; the light from that angle highlights the vertical carvings without harsh glare. From there you can walk to the inner courtyard a bit later, when the sun has moved and the shadows soften. If you finish early, a quick drive to Pushkar Lake around 10 am gives a clear reflection of the sky that contrasts nicely with the stone. Stopping at The Fern Residency in Ajmer afterward keeps the travel time short and gives you a comfortable base for the rest of the day.
