Kumbhalgarh Tours
Kumbhalgarh is famous the massive fort & the wildlife
sanctuary.
The Kumbhalgarh sanctuary spreads majestically over 578 sq.
kms and is located at an altitude ranging from 500 to 1300
meters. The sanctuary is located in close proximity of the
Udaipur City.
The Kumbhalgarh sanctuary has a mystifying diversity of wildlife
species like leopards, hyena, sloth bear, wolf, jackal, jungle
cat, hare, nilgai and the four horned antelope.
Apart from the rich variety of wildlife species, Kumbhalgarh
sanctuary is also a haven for bird-watchers with numerous
avian species that are residents of the sanctuary. The typically
reticent jungle fowls are effortlessly spotted along with
white breasted kingfisher, parakeets, golden oriole, varieties
of pigeons, bulbul, red owls to name just a few of the avian
species that can be spotted in this sanctuary.
Peacocks and Doves can be sighted frequently feeding on grains
scattered by the jungle guards.
A typical safari route enters the sanctuary from the Kumbhalgarh
Fort and cutting across the sanctuary it reaches Ghanerao,
and then borders an old deserted road. On this road, one can
sight Chinkaras, Neelgais, four horned Antelope and many birds.

Kumbhalgarh)
Kumbhalgarh Fort :: This most-remarkable of forts stretches
across 36 kms of the Aravali Mountains and is 1100 m high
from the sea level. It was never conquered, for reasons
which become apparent the instant you set eyes on it. The
fort is just 60 kms away from Udaipur. The massive perimeter
wall is an astounding 36 kms. Surrounded by thirteen
mountain peaks, guarded by seven great gates and seven
ramparts, strengthened by rounded bastions and immense
watchtowers, this mountain fortress has witnessed many
battles. The winding road leads through deep ravines and
thick forests to Arait Pol with its watch-tower, Hulla Pol,
Hanuman Pol, Ram Pol, Bhairava Pol, Paghra Pol, Top-khana
Pol and Nimboo Pol.
On top of the fort is the Badal Mahal Palace, It encloses
beautiful rooms with pleasant colour schemes of green,
turquoise and white, which provides a fascinating contrast
to the raw, earthy and grim fortress. The palace was rebuilt
by Rana Fateh Singh in the late 19th century. The legendary
Maharana Pratap was born here.
Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary :: Sited in the flourishing
green zone of Udaipur, Kumbalgarh is the only sanctuary of
Rajasthan, where activities of the rarely found wolf can be
