Tourist Destinations of Rajasthan Udaipur Khumbalgarh Fort
There is also the Kumbhalgarh wildlife sanctuary here, known for its wolves. The scarcity of water-holes between March and June makes this the best time to see animals, including chowsinghas (four-horned antelopes), leopards, panthers, sloth bears and various bird species. Road Map Udaipur

Kumbhalgarh, situated 65 km north of Udaipur
hold a heroic past having sheltered the heir of Mewar throne in times of
Danger. It was here that the baby prince of Mewar was hidden from an
assassin. It is an isolated and fascinating place, built by Maharana
Khumbha in the 15th century. Because of its inaccessibility - at1100m on
top of the Aravalli Range - it was taken only once in history. Even then,
it took the combined armies of the Mughal emperor Akhbar, and of Amber and
Marwar to breach its defenses. The thick walls of this mighty fort stretch
some 36km and are wide enough for eight horses to ride abreast. They
enclose many temples, palaces, gardens and water storage facilities. The
fort was renovated in the 19th century by Maharana Fateh Singh. It is
worth taking a leisurely walk in the large compound, which has some
interesting ruins and is very peaceful.
