Girded by
the Aravalli hills, Bundi's Taragarh fort is among the most magnificent
forts of Rajasthan.
About the Fort Taragarh fort was built in 1354 and is great palace to ramble around at
leisure. Set within the horse-shoe shaped fold of the hills, and with the
lakes and water reservoirs below, the fort straddles the crest and offers
invincible battlements that must have proved difficult to scale.
Taragarh is reached by a steep road leading up the hillside to its
enormous gateway. The views over the town and surrounding countryside from
the top are magical, especially at sunset. The huge reservoirs within the
fort were carved out of solid rock and the Bhim Burj, the largest of the
battlements, on which there is mounted a famous cannon.
