| Kumbhalgarh Fort-Rajasthan |
When we talk about Indian hills and mountains the first
thing comes to our mind is Himalaya, but we often forget that in the northwest part
of India another hilly range is silently ruling his kingdom, the Aravalli range.
These are the oldest fold mountains in India and a hill top giant fort surrounded
by a sanctuary is like red cherry on the top of a cream cake for the travelmaniacs.
The Kumbhalgarh fort of Rajasthan. With due respect to all the destinations,
according to me Rajasthan is the tourism Capital of India. Whatever you will spend
for the trip of Rajasthan, this place will pay you back with interest. Only this place has the ability to mesmerize
you with his natural beauty without greenly landscapes and peaks covered with
snow, but with the evil side of the nature and obviously with the Mahals and
Forts.

Kumbhalgarh is situated in the Rajsamand district near
Udaipur of Rajasthan. It is a Mewar fortress on the westerly range of Aravalli
Hills. This destination is not in the route in normal Rajasthan tour plan, but
we will suggest you to visit this place especially when you travelling from Udaipur
to Mount Abu. The beauty and the historical value of this fort will attract any
travel lover..

| Way to the fort |
It is a World Heritage Site included in Hill Forts of
Rajasthan. Built during the course of the 15th century by Rana Kumbha,
Kumbhalgarh is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the great king and
warrior of Mewar.

perimeter walls that extend 36 km (22 mi), making it the second longest wall in
the world.

You can enjoy the distinct view of the Aravalli ranges from
the top of the fort and sometimes the sand dunes of the Thar desert also be
seen from here. You have to cross the hilly roads through the Kumbhalgarh Santuary to reach this fort.

Kumbhalgarh fort consists of numerous hindu temples
especially Jain temples inside it. Lakhola Tank is the most notable tank inside
the fort, constructed by Rana Lakha during 1382-1421 CE. It is located in the
Western side of Kelwara town and measures 5 km (3.1 mi) in length to 100 m
(0.062 mi) to 200 m (0.12 mi) in width.

How to reach:

Some hotels and resorts will offer you to spend a day in
front of the Fort in the Sanctuary. But the best thing will be stay at Udaipur.
