Hill Forts of Rajasthan

Six fortified hilltop structures spread across Rajasthan feature extensive walls, defensive systems, reservoirs, temples, and residential sections spanning 280 hectares.

The forts were constructed between the 5th and 18th centuries by Rajput rulers to defend their kingdoms against invasions through strategic placement on elevated terrains.

These fortifications contain numerous Hindu and Jain temples, demonstrating the religious diversity and architectural fusion of Indo-Islamic styles during the Rajput period.

The forts remain open to visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages and dedicated parking facilities at each location.

Kumbhalgarh Fort includes a 36-kilometer-long wall, making it the second-longest continuous wall on Earth after the Great Wall of China.
