Another one of the little known
destinations in Rajasthan, Kumbhalgarh allows you to take
in its charms at your own gentle pace. The kingdom of
Kumbhalgarh was part of the vast territories of Rana
Kumbha, who famously built dozens of forts and palaces
across Rajasthan. Located 6,233 feet over sea level,
Kumbhalgarh is known primarily for its huge fort. Apart
from that, there is not much to see in the town itself.
But the huge fort is large enough to take the resourceful
traveler days to explore.
Attractions
Kumbhalgarh Fort
It is a matter of wonder that more visitors do not come to
the town, for the fort has its tales to tell. The massive
fort, standing on the edge of a sheer cliff, was
inaccessible to enemies. During its 700-year long
existence, the fort has been captured just once, and not
through a fair fight at that. Legend has it that the
attackers had to poison the water supply of the fort to
force its defendants to surrender. |
