Kumbhalgarh Fort

The Kumbhalgarh Fort, known for possessing the world's second-longest wall, after the Great Wall of China, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is nestled 84 kilometres north of Udaipur amidst the beauty of the wilderness. Considered to be the second most significant citadel in the Mewar region after Chittorgarh, this majestic fort was constructed in the 15th century AD by Rana Kumbha.

With an impressive 36-kilometre perimeter, the walls of the fort can accommodate eight horses riding abreast at once. Now that's impressive! Graced by seven fortified gates that are designed to withstand enemy attacks, Kumbhalgarh - the highest fort in Rajasthan – is also known as the birthplace of the famous Rajput King, Maharana Pratap.
