🏰 Kumbhalgarh Fort: Rajasthan’s Hidden Gem

🔸 From the Depths of History…

Construction: Kumbhalgarh Fort was built in the 15th century (1443 AD) by Maharana Kumbha of Mewar.
It is also known as the birthplace of Maharana Pratap, the legendary Rajput warrior king of Mewar.
Its architectural design and strategic location made the fort virtually unconquerable in battles.
Although many enemies tried to capture it, the fort’s natural defenses and engineering brilliance always kept them at bay.

🔹 The “Great Wall of India”

The fort boasts a 36-kilometer-long wall, which is considered the second-longest wall in the world (after the Great Wall of China).
The wall is so wide that eight horses can run abreast on it!

🏞️ Natural Beauty and Architecture

Surrounded by the Aravalli Hills and thick forests, the fort offers a peaceful and scenic setting.
It houses over 700 structures, including 300+ temples—both Jain and Hindu.
The Badal Mahal (Palace of Clouds), the highest part of the fort, offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding region and gives the illusion of floating in the clouds.
