Hotels in Kumbalgarh

Hotel Aodhi

The Aodhi is the best location from where to explore the fort. The structure of this Royal Retreat has been designed to match the landscape of the terrain.

 

The Aodhi has a picturesque hilly and lush setting, not far from the citadel. The resort abounds in natural beauty and promises a delightful sojourn from day work tribulations.

 

The Kumbhalgarh Wildlife sanctuary, the only panther reserve in India is very close to the hotel and one could even spot a panther or a sloth bear from here. It is also a convenient resort from where the ancient temple-towns of Ranakpur, Nathdwara and Nagda can be explored.

 

Its deluxe suites and rooms are elegantly appointed, with private balconies and sitting areas. A large swimming pool, green lawns and the spread of old trees make The Aodhi a perfect getaway and is one of the best hotels in rajasthan.

Kumbalgarh Fort

 

Eighty four km from Udaipur, this is the most important fort in the Mewar region after Chittorgarh. It's an isolated and fascinating place, built by Maharana Kumbha in the 15th century and, due to its inaccessibility on top of the Aravalli range at 1100 meters, it was taken only once in its history.

 

Even then, it took the combined armies of the Mughal emperor, Akbar, and those of Amber and Marwar to breach its defences. It was here that the rulers of Mewar retreated in times of danger. The walls of the fortress stretch some 12 km and enclose many temples, palaces, gardens and water-storage facilities. The fort was renovated in last century.

 

The Kumbalgarh Fort is encircled by a 36 km long wall and boasts of seven majestic gates and ramparts one within the other. The Hanuman Pol, Bhairava Pol, Hulla Pol and the Paghra Pol are some of the massive gates that adorn the Kumbalgarh Fort.

 

Besides, a number of monuments lay scattered all over the Kumbalgarh Fort that also include the 15th century dilapidated palace built by Rana Kumbha. An old temple located nearby is another interesting site offered by the Kumbalgarh Fort. The fort also houses some other palaces that serve as good sites to explore.
