Deeg Highlights

1. Havelis

Deeg has a number of Havelis from the late 17th and early 18th century. Hugely inspired by the Mughal architecture and designs. Most of these are built in marble and follow a common design.

With Roop Sagar flowing on one side and this huge, magnificent fort on the elevated coast, Deeg fort is the most favourite of tourists. Built in 1772, this fort was constructed strategically here due to the proximity with Agra.

34 km away from Deeg, Bharatpur is an half an hour ride from here. It is famous for its bird sanctuary. On a fine winter afternoon, you might get lucky and spot some rare species of birds including the Siberian crane.
