I visited Kumbhalgarh Fort recently, and as someone from the Mewar lineage of Shishodia Rajput, it felt deeply personal. The fort’s massive walls and grand architecture are awe-inspiring, standing proud as a testament to our heritage. Walking through the gates, I felt connected to the bravery of Maharana Pratap and our ancestors. The views of the Aravalli hills are stunning, especially at sunset, and the temples inside add a spiritual touch. The guides were knowledgeable, sharing stories that brought history alive. Nearby stalls offered tasty local snacks we enjoyed.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Incredible Historical Experience at Kumbhalgarh Fort! Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort was an absolutely amazing experience! The moment you enter, you can feel the royal and historical vibes of Rajasthan. The fort is incredibly well-maintained and full of fascinating architecture — massive gates, beautiful palaces, intricate carvings, and the breathtaking 36 km long wall, which is the second longest in the world after the Great Wall of China! The view from the top is simply spectacular — you can see the entire Aravalli range and the green valleys all around. It’s a perfect place for photography lovers and history enthusiasts alike. I also loved exploring the different temples inside the fort; each one has its own charm and story. The fort area is clean, the local guides are very informative, and the route to reach there is scenic with winding roads and hills. Visiting during sunset is highly recommended — the golden light on the fort looks magical! Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is a must-visit for anyone traveling in Rajasthan. It truly showcases the pride, courage, and grandeur of Rajput history. I would love to visit again! 📍 Highly recommended for history lovers, photographers, and anyone who enjoys exploring heritage sites.
Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is most famous for its 36-kilometer-long defensive wall, often called the "Great Wall of India," which is the second longest in the world. Perched 1,100 meters above sea level, its strategic location and rugged topography made it virtually impregnable, serving as a vital refuge for the Mewar rulers in times of war. Inside its walls, the fort complex includes over 360 ancient temples and the stunning Badal Mahal, or "Palace of Clouds," which offers a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. It also holds deep sentimental value as the birthplace of the legendary warrior king, Maharana Pratap. As a fort it is mysterious, this fort cannot seen from ground, when you cross Halla Pol after few meters from there the fort is visible. Except Great Wall and Mahara Pratap birthplace, there is nothing. Museum is closed. Don't take guide, they will charge you 750 for 4 person and also provide some misinformation about museum. Entrance fee is 40 rupees for Indian and 600 for foreigners. Parking is infront of Hanuman Pol. All Historical Artifacts are kept in City Palace Udaipur. So, little bit disappointed.
Visiting Kumbhalgarh Fort with my family was an absolutely goosebumps moment! Standing before this massive World Heritage Site, surrounded by the Aravalli hills, you can instantly feel the power, pride and grandeur of Rajasthan’s history. The fort is truly majestic, built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century, it’s one of the strongest and most beautiful hill forts in India. The sheer size of the walls stretching over 36 km, often called the “Great Wall of India” is inspiring. It’s hard to believe this was all built centuries ago without modern tools. As we climbed up through the gates and pathways, the views kept getting better. From the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and forests, it’s the kind of sight that gives you goosebumps and fills you with pride in India’s heritage. The fort’s architecture, temples and palaces inside are beautifully preserved, especially the Badal Mahal, which offers stunning views and a glimpse into royal life. Entry tickets are reasonably priced (₹50 for Indian visitors and ₹200 for foreigners) and there’s ample parking near the entrance. The fort also hosts a light and sound show in the evening, which we highly recommend if you want to experience the fort’s history come alive in a magical way. Overall, Kumbhalgarh Fort is not just a monument t’s an emotion. The scale, history and scenic beauty make it one of the most unforgettable places to visit in Rajasthan. A must-see for every traveler who loves heritage, architecture and the feeling of standing in the footsteps of history!
Kumbhalgarh Fort is a majestic 15th-century fortress in the Aravalli Hills of Rajasthan, built by Rana Kumbha. This fort has a majestic wall-spanning for the next 36 kilometers, also known as the great wall of India. The fort is a marvel and a wonder at the same time. Absolutely majestic, vast and amazing. Best time to visit-in the evening an hour before sunset.
It was fabulous. The fort is preserved really well. It makes you travel back in history as all the fort is still present except some part of it. The fort is very colorful and it has a very good vibe to it. I will recommend people to visit it in winters and the weather when fog is there cause it will just enhance the beauty of that place. It is a must visit place for tourists.
Built in the 15th century by Rana Kumbha, Kumbhalgarh Fort is one of Rajasthan’s most magnificent and well-preserved hill forts. It’s surrounded by an incredible 35 km long wall, often called the Great Wall of India — the second longest continuous wall in the world after the Great Wall of China, and still remarkably intact. The fort’s design is ingenious — it’s visible only from around 200 meters away, blending perfectly into the surrounding Aravalli hills. The first gate is Halla Pol, and about half a kilometer ahead is Hanuman Pol, marked by an idol of Lord Hanuman. The fort first becomes visible halfway between these two gates. After entering Hanuman Pol, you’ll see the ticket window ahead — entry is ₹40 for Indian adults. From there, you proceed through the main gate, Ram Pol, which leads into the main complex. Inside Ram Pol, two paths diverge — the left path takes you uphill towards Badal Mahal, while the right path leads to the temples within the complex. It’s best to climb the fort first while you have energy and enthusiasm, and visit the temples on your way down. On the way up, you’ll pass through Bhairon Pol, Nimboo Pol, Chaugan Pol, Pagda Pol, and Ganesh Pol, before reaching Badal Mahal, which offers breathtaking panoramic views. It takes about 3 hours to comfortably explore the fort, enjoy the views, and take pictures. Spare some extra time if you wish to explore the surrounding temples, as they’re spread across the lower areas. Notable temples include Neelkanth Mahadev, Vedi Temple, Parshvanath Jain, and Ganesh Temple. I also went up to Bawan Devri, a very ancient Jain temple located a bit farther inside — totally worth it. From there, I climbed onto the fort wall and walked along it, which was an amazing and memorable experience. Kumbhalgarh is also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the great Rajput warrior. With its massive walls, scenic views, and historic charm, it’s truly a must-visit fort in Rajasthan.
Kumbhalgarh Fort is a historic marvel in Rajasthan, built in the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha and known for its massive walls—the second-longest in the world. It’s also the birthplace of Maharana Pratap. I rode here with my group from Vadodara, around 400 km, and the journey was amazing. Visit during the rainy season for lush greenery and a misty vibe, almost like Nainital.❤️

It was a great experience of pigeon feeding and a nandi bull on the lakeside. Here is the facility of boating. A renowned temple of God Dwarkadheesh ji synonyms of lord Krishna. Divine feeling in the temple. Very tasty and healthy prasadam is sold by the temple committee on economic and affordable prices. Rajsamand lake is also known as Rajsamand Lake situated in Rajsamand city 65 km away from Udaipur, Built by Rana Raj Singh. Best place for nature lovers. The lake view is always beautiful at any time of the day which will be good for photography.
Absolutely loved the peaceful vibe here. The detailed marble architecture is incredible, and walking the steps by the water feels like stepping back into old royal history. A must-see.
This place is approx 65 Kms away from Udaipur, towards Jaipur. This Lake is man made, excavation work was commissioned by Maharana Raj Singh, who supported Aurangzeb for his throne and later fought battles for control over his own area.
Hidden gem in small town called rajasmand, the lake offers serene view of the beautiful, clear water.
Rajsamand...the district named after the lake. Here resides... art, nature, history and even literature in marble! Another shining name takes forward the golden chain of Bappa Rawal, Maharana Kumbha, Sanga, Pratap, #Maharana_RajSingh Today's Shabd Yatra is in his name! This Sunday I had the good fortune to visit Rajsamudra Lake, a dam built on the Gomti River by Maharana Raj Singh. An unmatched example of #nature #architecture #devotion #art #literature #tradition and #history! The great #Rajprashasti epic written by royal poet Ranchhod Bhatt Telang on a pal and 50 white stones after 9 marble stairs! These have been affected by the ravages of time, most of which have been covered with nets for protection. Slowly moving in blue behind the white marble Rajsamudra gives a different peaceful feeling. How can one not be captivated by the artworks inside the umbrellas, so much detail!!! Just keep watching! Suitable places for photography Kankroli (Rajnagar) town situated on the Udaipur-Bhilwara highway, located near this huge lake, is actually the district headquarters. Despite it seeming like a small city to me, when I saw the good traffic system, I exclaimed that such a system was not seen even in Udaipur. (What to say about Bhilwara!) Kankroli is the district headquarters of Rajsamand district. Rajasthan: Would it be possible that Rajsamand would be the only district in India in which a place with the name of the district does not exist? After traversing long and narrow streets and asking passers-by, we reached #RajSamudra/#RajSamandJheel. 9 Ghevar Devi, who filled the foundation of this dam near Chowki Pal #Ghevarmata temple is built on the other side, and #Ambamata temple is built on the other side. One can see a glimpse of the great personality of Maharana Raj Singh in this huge lake built at a cost of about Rs 1.5 crore in 1676, exactly 100 years after the famous Battle of Haldighati in 1576. It is 2.82 kilometers (1.75 mi) wide, 6.4 kilometers (4.0 mi) long and 18 meters (59 ft) deep. It was built on the Gomti River, Kelva River and Tali River. It was built by Maharana Raj Singh as an atonement for the human killings he had committed during his life. The name of Maharana Raj Singh is immortal among the great heroes of Mewar, about whom we will know better in the upcoming posts. Coming here you feel like the sea. It was raining yesterday...everything was drenched...the clouds and the sea meeting exactly...we too are drenched...from outside...from within...it will definitely come from the heart...
Rajsamand Lake is a beautiful and peaceful spot — calm, clean, and far less crowded than other tourist places. The water is surprisingly clear, and you can even take a dip if you want. Sitting by the marble steps, watching the sunset, and feeling that breeze is pure peace. No noise, no chaos — just nature and serenity. A must-visit place if you’re tired of city rush and want some real calm..
Best place for traditional pre wedding shoot.. in udaipur
Rajsamand lake is also known as Rajsamudra Lake situated in Rajsamand city 65 km away from Udaipur, Built by Rana Raj Singh. Best place for nature lovers. Lake view is always beautiful at any time of the day which will be good for photography. Must visit place...❤👍
