Fortress including the Jahangir Mahal and Gujari Mahal palaces, the Jogar Kung reservoir and the Man Mandir palace with its wall

Bring water because when the sun is shining, the ascent to the fort can be a bit rough. There are two ways to get there: either from the northeast, which takes you to the Man Mandir, the Mansingh Palace, or from the south. It is the most frequented way. To reach the citadel, we advise you to rent a cab with which you will circulate inside because the distances to be covered are important and the auto-rickshaws are not welcome. Nevertheless, if you reserve a day to visit the fort, why not walk around it, the walk is very rural.

From the Urwahi gate, you will discover along the way many beautiful sculptures of Jain tirthankaras carved directly into the rock. At the top, on the hillside, you will find in a former British barracks the very prestigious Scindia School whose fees have nothing to envy to those of our big schools. The teachers are almost as numerous as the students come from all over the world.

You are now behind the walls, in the heart of the medieval city, on a plateau 3.2 km long and 820 m wide which contains six palaces, three Hindu temples, a Sikh temple (gurdwara) and several water reservoirs.

The Rs 400 entrance ticket allows access to the part of the fort that includes the Jahangir Mahal and Gujari Mahal palaces, and the Jogar Kund reservoir, but you're mainly here to see the Man Mandir palace with its turquoise wall, which requires a different entrance ticket.

Encore un fort différent des autres et particulièrement les salles en sous sol. Le complexe avec les ruines de palace reste très romantique. A signaler aussi les différents temples ainsi que le temple sikh. Et ne pas oublier les immenses statues Jain creusées dans la roche sur la route. La visite mérite bien une demi journée.

Superbes Sculptures tout le long de la montée vers le fort, c'est vraiment très impressionnant et a ne pas rater !!!
On se sent vraiment petit comparé à ces oeuvres ...
voir photos jointes meme si cela ne rend pas vraiment compte de la hauteur
Le fort est tout aussi magnifique avec ses couleurs bleutés et ses animaux en facade
(chauves souris vues aussi en sous-sol !)

Magnificent and immense. The gigantic statues that punctuate the ascent are worth a stop here but if you, it is long and should be provided water does it on foot. On arrival at the height several palaces and temples, mix of religions that combine with and compete in beauty… It is better to plan several visiting times!
