Kumbhalgarh

The Great Wall of Rajasthan — UNESCO World Heritage

About

Discover Kumbhalgarh

Kumbhalgarh is the birthplace of Maharana Pratap — Rajasthan's most celebrated warrior king — and home to one of the most extraordinary fortifications anywhere on earth. The fort's perimeter wall stretches 36 kilometres across the crests of the Aravalli Hills, making it the second-longest fortified wall in the world after the Great Wall of China; it was added to India's UNESCO World Heritage List in 2013. Within the walls, 360 temples, a royal palace and hunting grounds stand preserved in exceptional condition. The sound and light show in the evening brings the history of the Mewar kingdom dramatically to life against the backdrop of the floodlit battlements.
