About Chittorgarh Fort in Chittorgarh

Chittorgarh Fort History

Chittorgarh Fort, located in Rajasthan in Chittorgarh city, is a major heritage site of India and is also the largest fort in Asia.

It covers an area of 700 acres and offers visitors a glimpse of the grandeur of the Rajputs. It was built by Chitrangada Mori. The intricately carved inner sanctums are a reminder of an era gone by. It was declared to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2013. The construction of the fort was undertaken in the 7th century AD, under the guidance of Chitrangad Mori of the Maurya dynasty.

Stories of Many Invasions

The very first invasion of Chittorgarh Fort was in the era of 730 AD. As per local legend, Bappa Rawal seized the fort from the Moris. An important part of the royal dynasty, this fort has endured several attempts to break in but has thwarted all of them except for 3, which includes Ala-ud-din Khilji in 1303, Bahadur Shah in 1535 and Akbar in 1567. Of all the invasions that happened, the invasion by Ala-ud-din Khilji is most talked about. Rani Padmini was the then queen of the Mewar kingdom. Most legends suggest that the invasion by Ala-ud-din Khilji was due to an attempt to marry Rani Padmini which then led to mass Jauhar. The views from the fort are gorgeous, with the Gambhiri River near the fort and lush green hills beyond it, visible from the intricate balconies of the fort. Watching the sunset here is a beautiful experience.

Awati's 6 days trip to Chittorgarh

The owner of the travel company that we travelled with is a person who doesn't even know how to talk with their customers. Firstly our travel agent was Preeti agarwal and when we called her to raise some complaints she was not even able to accept them and then the owner started talking to us. Who is such a egotistic person with no sense of talking to customers.

Gurunathan's 3 days trip to Chittorgarh

The hotels in general were not at a three star level except for Shani Vilas in Ranthambore. The hotel in Agra did not even have hot water. The initial room provided in Delhi's metro view was very bad and we had to request for a change. The toilet flush was not working, the bathroom door did not have a latch, the door was broken etc. Please ensure that the right level of hotels are provided.

Mozhiarasu's 5 days trip to Chittorgarh

The best thing happened is the drivers in the jodpur, who resolved the messed up plan by the travel agent. Hotel Sia Resorts changed and we have been changed to different resort,which was older property. The daywise plan made by the travel agent was absurd and created lot of confusion.

Anushka's 4 days trip to Chittorgarh

We have booked a tour to Rajasthan through Trip Sailor.com. The accommodation given was really good,the itinerary was nicely curated. But the driver was not up to the mark, he was driving very rashly. The driver as a person was good, he listened to us whenever we asked for anything but road awareness and road safety is important for a tourist driver. Other than that everything was really nice and smooth. It was a hassle free trip to Rajasthan. We really liked your service. Thankyou Sandeep from Trip Sailor.Com City Palace Jaipur was magnificent

Shraddha's 6 days trip to Chittorgarh

We recently had an incredible trip to Rajasthan planned through Back to Holidays, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. A special thanks to Preeti from their team, who organized everything flawlessly. From the beginning, Preeti guided us with great recommendations, especially when it came to hotels. She assured us to trust her choices, and we are so glad we did! The hotels were amazing, with excellent rooms, great service, and delicious food. The vehicle arranged for our travel was comfortable, and our driver was extremely polite and professional. Throughout the trip, Preeti was always available whenever we needed any assistance, making sure everything went smoothly. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the desert camp. It was an unforgettable experience, and we are so thankful to Preeti for recommending it. Everything about it was perfect, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I traveled with my family(with 2.5 year old and senior citizen), and we all absolutely loved the entire journey. My parents were especially happy and had a wonderful time without a single complaint. This trip was a truly memorable one, and we highly recommend Preeti from Back to Holidays for a well-planned, stress-free vacation. Thank you, Preeti, and the team for making this trip so special!

Hi Back to Holidays Team, We have planned a trip this month to Rajasthan and your Executive Ms. Preeti Sharma has helped us a lot and planned our trip smoothly. The hotels suggested by her in a very cost-centric way and the properties are also good. Even during our trip, she has helped us on call and managed the things.
