A must do in an Udaipur trip. This fort is amazing because it is open for exploration. You can take steps up the fort and feel as if you are the first one to have discovered a place which was lost in the annals of history. Discover it for yourself. The view from the top of the fort is breathtaking... More

Amazing! We are yet to see Jaipur, Jaisalmer and Dehli's Forts but this place was magical. It would be a perfect movie set. There's hundreds of old temples still well maintained and scattered throughout this Barron fort. I've never seen anything like it and is what I hoped to see in India. We paid 1800 rs for a driver with... More

Not to be missed, for those who love architecture & forts, this one has been incomparable to any structures i have visited so far. The fort is the one best strategically designed, which is why never have been conquered by any king / british army / mughal emperor. The light show in the evening could be great for photographic enthusiasts,... More

Built by Maharana Kumbha, it is also a birthplace of Maharana Pratap, one of the great king and warrior of India. Raba Kumbha's kingdom was so big that it was stretches from Ranthambhore to Gwalior. There are many temples, both jain and hindu, in the fort. The highest point of Kumbhalgadh fort is Badal Mahal. Kumbhalgadh's wall are second largest... More

Largest fort I've ever seen, must stop and see on the way Jodhpur-Udaipur, can spend 1 hour (just fort) or half a day (fort and temples inside)

This is the place where Rana Pratap was born; you can see his birth place, plus the old and older palaces; quite a number of temples are also there; in the evening there is a light and sound show

There are hundreds of grand and amazing forts in India but this one is a steal! It's beautiful it's breathtaking and it's spectacular. It's a lesser know destination, perhaps that is why it's still unspoilt! Kumbhalgarh is a majestic quiet fort with a very wide wall that surrounds the fort. One can go on a long walk on the wall...

About an hour from the main road between Jodhpur and Udaipur but well worth the detour. A very impressive fort. Whilst the inside is interesting but not spectacularly so it is the fort itself which is the main attraction. The walls are 36km long and contain the fort, temple and other buildings. The structure was started in the 15th century... More
