Kumbhalgarh is the second most significant fortress in the Aravali Ranges, and Rana Kumbha constructed it during the 15th century AD. The topography’s inaccessibility enhances the fort’s resilience. Being the birthplace of Mewar’s famed king Maharana Pratap, it holds enormous sentimental value for the people. The fort is self-contained in every way, allowing it to resist a long siege. The Mauryas created a spectacular collection of temples, with the Badal Mahal, or Cloud Palace, being the most picturesque. The fort also provides a fantastic bird’s eye perspective of the area.
