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.

What Constitutes Chittorgarh Fort?

The fort is home to a total of seven gates that are named as Ganesh Gate, Jodla Gate, Lakshman Gate, Padan Gate, Hanuman Gate, Ram Gate, and Bhairon Gate. The fort depicts Rajput’s architectural style. Several palaces are also situated inside the fort. The prominent palaces include the Rana Kumbha Palace, the Tower of Victory, the Fateh Prakash Palace, Kirti Stambh, and Rani Padmini's Palace. Along with palaces and gates, one can also find many temples inside the fort.   

Chittorgarh Fort: Majestic Fort With a Hint of Eerie

The history of Chittorgarh Fort cannot be told without the mention of eerie incidents. Many people have narrated tales of haunting incidents, erie sounds, and unexplained events that took place in the fort. However, the truth behind the stories can only be unfolded once you visit the place. Some locals also link the occurrences of such events to the killings that happened during several invasions.  

Sound and Light Show

One of the highlights of visiting Chittorgarh Fort is the sound and light show that takes place during the evening. The show narrates the tales of the past events and important personas. It is a great way to learn more about the history of this magnificent monument.

    We had a wonderful experience booking our *Udaipur–Chittorgarh–Pushkar–Jaipur (Rajasthan Mewar)* trip through Aapka TripWala via Travel Triangle. Chirag from the tour company was extremely helpful from the very beginning. He carefully understood our requirements, as we were travelling with our 3-year-old, and tailored the itinerary perfectly for us. He also arranged our flight tickets and hotel bookings with ease. The hotels chosen for us were exceptional in comfort, location, and service, making our stay truly memorable. Our driver, *Mr. Nandu Singh*, made the journey stress-free and pleasant from the moment he picked us up at the airport until the final drop-off. He kept us informed about possible scams at tourist spots, was always patient and courteous (even when delays happened because of our little one), and greeted us each day with a warm smile. We really appreciated that he never pushed us toward any particular shop or market. Travelling with him was an absolute delight, and his professionalism enhanced our overall trip experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized, trustworthy, and family-friendly travel experiene.

    We are really grateful to Preeti Sharma from Back 2 Holidays for planning such a wonderful trip of Udaipur and Mount Abu. Initially we were sceptical about all the commitments given by Preeti, but to our complete surprise, everything what she has promised was honoured. Right from the hotel room, view, the cab, the tour plan was as committed. We are super delighted as it was my bday tour and wanted this to be special and would like to thank Preeti Sharma , the cab driver Kamlesh , who ensure we had the best experience of the lake city and Mt. Abu. Breathing Taking Hotel View, Dinner at Kamma Ghani , City palace and Mt. Abu Morning.

    Devyani's 7 days trip to Chittorgarh

    a month ago
    We had a memorable trip to Rajasthan booked through Travel Triangle, though our experience was somewhat mixed. The cab driver assigned to us was truly dedicated and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Every restaurant he recommended was excellent, and the sightseeing throughout the journey was absolutely fabulous. That said, I would advise exercising caution when booking 4-star accommodations through the agent. It's important to clarify that we were referring to official hotel ratings, not guest reviews. Unfortunately, the agent’s interpretation did not match ours. Three out of the five hotels had ongoing renovation work, which significantly affected our comfort. Although the agent did try to make changes to minimize the inconvenience, the replacement hotels were not of genuine 4-star quality either. The most disappointing experience was the camping stay at Juma Resort in Jaisalmer. The property was infested with crickets, making it uninhabitable. Four families, including ours, ended up leaving the resort and paying out of pocket for alternative accommodation. Unfortunately, this was not even communicated to the travel agent at the time. On a positive note, our request for a rollaway bed for our daughter was fulfilled as expected, which we appreciated. In summary, while the itinerary and driver exceeded our expectations, the hotel arrangements — particularly the Jaisalmer experience — left considerable room for improvement.
