Sightseeing and Excursions
The second biggest fort in Rajasthan, the impressive Kumbhalgarh fort is located near the hotel and well worth a visit. Built in 1458 by Rana Kumbha, it was designed to discourage invaders. Medieval Rajasthanis loved their gates. In every fort or old city, you have to typically pass through several Pol (gate) to get to the main buildings. The huge wooden doors embellished with mean-looking metal spikes at every pol were constructed to keep out invading armies. Kumbhalgarh has seven gates. The wall of the fort snakes through densely wooded hills. It is 36 km long, and is the second longest wall in the world after the Great Wall of China, built wide enough to take eight horses abreast. In the late 16th century Maharana Pratap moved the Mewar capital to Kumbhalgarh in preparation against an assault by Akbar. He wanted to lure the Mughal army, used to doing battle on the plains, into mountainous terrain but Kumbhalgarh could not withstand the combined forces of Akbar and Raja Man Singh. Apparently, they poisoned the water source and so, Kumbhalgarh had to be abandoned.
The Aodhi is also situated close to important religious centres such as Nathdwara, Eklingji, and Ranakpur.
