Several forts, including the Ranthambore Fort, testify to the illustrious rule of the Rajputs in Rajasthan, one of the most historically significant regions in India. One of the oldest, grandest, and most emblematic Rajput-built forts in all of Rajasthan is the Ranthambore Fort. This fort, constructed in the 12th century by the Chauhan royal family, is also recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit Ranthambore and the city’s crowning glory, the Fort, to get a feel for the true spirit and history of Rajasthan.
Located high above the Ranthambore National Park, the Ranthambore Fort commands stunning vistas of the park below and the villages and landscape beyond. Ranthambore National Park’s lush foliage and grasslands can be seen from the fort, another draw that brings visitors from all over the country.
Another fantastic example of Rajput construction is the Ranthambore Fort. Massive stone walls, stone steps, pillars, and domes give the fort an air of regal splendor. Birds, monkeys, and even peacocks are possible sightings in the fort due to its proximity to the National Park and wildlife reserve. When in Rajasthan, visit Ranthambore Fort for some sightseeing, trekking, hiking, or just plain old nature-walking.
