The fort at Amla is located on the outer western side of the village and has a panoramic view of the fields to the west. On the eastern and southern sides one gets a clear view of the village chowk and its activities.
Ujjain
Amla is a good base for visiting Ujjain which is nearby. The city draws visitors mainly for its famous Hindu shrines and the ghats or stone steps that lead down to the Shipra River. In fact Ujjain is one of the 4 sites that hosts the Kumbh Mela - the largest religious gathering in the world. Every 12 years when the planets are aligned in a certain manner millions of Hindus come together to take a dip in the holy Shipra.
