The Kumbhalgarh Fort: Bike Tour - 6N 7D

from INR 35000

Built over a period of 15 years under the expert supervision of the famed architect of Kumbhalgarh Fort named Mandan, it is perfectly perched between eleven peaks of the Aravalli ranges. Its strategic position atop a high ridge camouflaged by the surrounding peaks has made it one of the most important and probably the only impregnable fort of the state. Though never conquered in battle, it was captured only once by the Mughal army by deceit when they poisoned the water supply of the fort. Being the birthplace of the legendary Maharana Pratap, Kumbhalgarh Palace also holds a very special place in history and in the hearts of the Rajputs.
