Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The fort, plainly known as Chittor, was the capital of Mewar and is today situated several kilometres by road south of Bhilwara. It sprawls majestically over a hill 180 m (591 ft) in height spread over an area of 280 ha (692 ac) above the plains of the valley drained by the Berach River. A winding hill road of more than 1 km (0.6 mi) length from the new town leads to the west end main gate, called Ram Pol, of the fort.

The Vijaya Stambha, a magnificent Rajput victory monument, stands proudly within the Chittor Fort in Chittorgarh, Rajasthan, India. Constructed in 1448 CE by the Hindu Rajput king Rana Kumbha of Mewar, the tower commemorates his triumph over Mahmud Khilji's Malwa army in the Battle of Sarangpur. Dedicated to the Hindu deity Vishnu, the tower exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship. Renowned historian Colonel James Todd praised it as one of the finest examples of Hindu Rajput architecture, even considering it superior to the Qutub Minar.
