Chittorgarh Fort

At 13 kilometres in circumference, the Chittorgarh Fort is one of the largest forts in India, a nation famed for its ancient and medieval fortresses. There are seven massive gates from which to enter, and once inside you’ll find four palaces and 19 temples. At one time there were almost 100 bodies of water, most of them ponds from natural catchment and rainfall, although now there are only 20.
