Destination: Kumbalgarh Fort, Udaipur
Date: Saturday, 1 Nov 2008.
Origin: Udaipur City
Mode of Travel: Tata Indica
There is already lots of info available on Google about this place. Thus I am not listing anything general but few points:
1. The architecture is amazing. This is another example of the expertize of the people centuries ago who made such forts and palaces which can't be constructed today even with the use of modern machines.
2. There is very less population around the fort. It would have been minimal at the time when this fort was constructed. The fort sits on the top of a very strategic hill. How such a huge amount of raw material was carried to this hill top, is a mystery for me.
3. The engineering and the strength of the fort is marvelous. People say that this fort was never conquered. No doubt in that. Even today, if there is a not-so-skilled army defends the fort, even the best army of the world can't conquer it. The walls are as wide as a two lane road.
4. From the terrace of the Palace, one side there is a beautiful view of hills. On the other side there is flat ground till horizon. Wind flows at high speed.
5. The fort has been maintained good. Many places, there are old remains which give very good feel.
