Kumbhalgarh Tourism

Kumbhalgarh's walls run for 38 unbroken kilometres around the hilltop, the second-longest continuous wall on Earth after the Great Wall of China, enclosing thirteen hill peaks and seven grand gateways that still stand largely intact. Built by Rana Kumbha as a last refuge for the rulers of Mewar in times of siege, the fort sits at roughly 1,100 metres, and from its ramparts the Aravalli range rolls away in every direction. Few forts in India give quite the same sense of scale, or quite the same view.

Built during the reign of Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, Chittorgarh is also one of the largest fort complexes in the world. Located 82km from Udaipur, it makes for a great one day trip.

If you are interested in some adventure, don't miss out on the foot tracking and horse safari organised in the Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary. The Safari starts from the Kumbhalgarh Fort and reaches Ghanerao while cutting across the sanctuary. The best part of this safari is the chance to spot Antelopes, Chinkaras and Neelgais.

Architecture

The Kumbhalgarh fort is built 3600 feet above sea level, in the lap of thirteen elevated Aravalli mountain peaks. The width varies from 49 feet to 15 feet at most places. The fort offers a bird’s eye view of the surrounding towns and dunes of the Thar. It has seven fortified gateways that stand in the form of sentinels. The largest gate is known as Ram Pol or Ram Gate and is a unique piece of attraction. The fort also houses around 360 temples, 300 of which are the ancient Jain temples.

History of Kumbhalgarh

The history of Kumbhalgarh dates back to the 15th century. The foundation of the town is believed to have been laid by Rana Kumbha- the king of Mewar. The fort housed and gave refuge to Mewar rulers in their times of strife. The fort remained impregnable to various invasions and forces and only collapsed once due to a shortage of drinking water within the premises. Kumbhalgarh is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap. Other than the fort, the descendants of Mauryan empire built quite a few beautiful temples which add to the popularity of the city. Maharana Fateh Singh renovated the fort in the 19th century, and since then it has been a popular tourist destination in the world.
