Udaipur to Kumbhalgarh Tour Package Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Kumbhalgarh Sightseeing
- Kumbhalgarh Fort: This 15th-century fortress, built by Rana Kumbha, is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its 36-kilometer-long perimeter wall. The fort stands 1,100 meters above sea level on the Aravalli range, offering strategic views of the plains. Within its walls are hundreds of temples and palaces, reflecting the grandeur of the Mewar Kingdom.
- Badal Mahal: Known as the “Palace of Clouds,” this structure is located at the highest point of the fort complex. The palace is renowned for its pastel-colored murals and intricate stone jali work that allows for natural ventilation. From the rooftop, the vast expanse of the Thar Desert and the Aravalli hills becomes visible to observers.
- Neelkanth Mahadev Temple: This ancient temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and features a massive five-foot-high stone lingam. The structure is supported by heavy pillars and exhibits a style reminiscent of classical architecture. It remains a significant site for local devotees who visit to offer prayers amidst the historical ruins.
Day 2: Local Exploration and Departure
- Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary: This sanctuary surrounds the fort and serves as a habitat for diverse species, including leopards, wolves, and sloth bears. It is a preferred destination for nature photography and birdwatching due to the presence of grey jungle fowl and peacocks. The rugged terrain provides a distinct ecosystem separate from the arid desert regions.
- Vedi Temple: Constructed by Rana Kumbha, this three-story octagonal Jain temple was built to commemorate the completion of the fort. It is supported by 36 columns and showcases sophisticated medieval architectural techniques. The temple is one of the few surviving sacrificial shrines in India, making it a unique historical site.
- Mammadev Temple: Situated just below the fort, this temple was once home to four large stone slabs containing the history of the Mewar clan. It features a large reservoir or ‘kund’ and remains a quiet spot for reflection away from the main tourist crowds. The intricate carvings on the exterior walls depict various mythological scenes.
