Chittaurgarh trip planner

Sitting on the shores of the Berach River, the city of Chittaurgarh had a checkered history of ancient war against would-be invaders. The focal point of any trip to Chittaurgarh is its colossal fort, the largest defense fortification of its kind in Asia and testament to the days when the city served as capital of Mewar (7th-16th century). Fill your Chittaurgarh itinerary with expeditions to the fort's sprawling grounds, uncovering its monuments, bodies of water, and colorful history. Other draws for tourists include the capital's temples, palace, market bazaars, and sacred reservoir. Rent bicycles to get around the city, or take a self-guided walking tour (but do avoid the sweltering midday heat).
