Kumbhalgarh Reviews

Overview of the destination
This destination is for the traveller who wants to sample history in peace. Kumbhalgarh is accessible from Udaipur and has excellent roads. It is a perfect getaway from Udaipur and has scenic views on the way. It is a historical delight with Haldighati, Ranakpur, etc at close quarters. It is probably least commercialized among all towns of Rajasthan.

Food, sight-seeing and shopping
As this is not commercialized, there are not much restaurants but the Aodhi Hotel serves amazing food though has 7 star rates. Would suggest the amazing variety on the Indian menu and do sample their starters.

Activities & things to do
A historical site, Kumbhalgarh has Haldighati and Ranakpur at a driving distance. The museum at Haldighati is worth visiting as it brings you close to history. The enthusiasm of the musuem guides is worth saluting. Kumbhalgarh itself as the name suggests has the fort to be seen both at day and in the evening. The illumination in the evening is a photographers delight. The fort unlike other forts of the country is least polluted and is very well maintained.

Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
A drive from Udaipur is comfortable. Winter travel would be recommended like all towns in Rajasthan. Udaipur is connected by air, rail and road from all major cities.
