Day 1 :
Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel in Udaipur in an air-conditioned vehicle, and leave for Kumbhalgarht (approx. 1.5 hours). A few kilometers outside of Kumbhalgarh Fort, you’ll find yourself zigzagging down a road going through deep ravines and thick forests. This windy road leads you to Arait Pol, and you’ll be able to see the watch-tower and passing Hulla Pol, Hanuman Pol, Ram Pol, Bhairava Pol, Paghra Pol, Top-khana Pol, and Nimboo Pol along the way.
The Kumbhalgarh Fort is known for seven massive gates and walls folded into one another toughened by curved bastions and large watch towers. The strong structure and solid foundation, with walls broad enough to stand eight horses side by side, have made it unbeatable till date. There are no less than 360 temples inside the complex; amongst all of them, Shiva Temple is most worth visiting as it comprises a huge Shivalinga (Phallic form). It is also known for its famous palace that resides at the top of the structure. This beautiful palace is named Badal Mahal, ‘Palace of Cloud.’ It is also accredited to be the birth place of great warrior Maharana Pratap. The palace’s beautiful rooms are covered in a lovely combination of green, turquoise and white presenting a bright contrast to the earthy colors of the fort. Badal Mahal also offers a fantastic panoramic view of downtown.
