Tour Plan

8:00 AM - Hotel Pick-Up in Udaipur

Your day begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel in Udaipur by a private driver. Sit back and relax in an air-conditioned vehicle as you enjoy a scenic two-hour drive through the Aravalli Hills and the traditional Rajasthani countryside. Along the way, capture glimpses of traditional village life, lush fields, and the changing landscapes as you make your way to Chittorgarh.

Arrival at Chittorgarh Fort – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Upon arriving in Chittorgarh, step into the magnificent Chittorgarh Fort, one of Rajasthan’s most renowned landmarks. Spanning approximately 700 acres, the fort stands as a symbol of Rajput courage and sacrifice having witnessed centuries of battles, sieges, and acts of devotion. Accompanied by your expert guide, discover the fort’s strategic importance and learn about the Rajput rulers who once ruled this bastion of pride.

Vijay Stambh (Victory Tower)

Continue your exploration at Vijay Stambh, an impressive nine-storey tower commissioned by Rana Kumbha to commemorate his victory over the Sultan of Malwa. Adorned with intricate carvings of Hindu deities, the tower showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and artistic heritage of the Rajputs. Climb to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of the fort and the surrounding landscapes.

Kirti Stambh (Tower of Fame)

Next, visit Kirti Stambh, an impressive Jain monument dedicated to Lord Adinath. Smaller and older than Vijay Stambh, this tower reflects the Jain values of non-violence, truth, and spiritual devotion. The intricate Jain sculptures carved into its walls are a delight for history and art lovers.

Rana Kumbha Palace

Continue your visit at Rana Kumbha Palace, once the grand royal residence of the Rajput rulers. Although now largely in ruins, the palace whispers tales of royal life and history of the Rajput dynasty. It is also traditionally associated with the story of Rani Padmini and the practice of Jauhar, in which women chose self-immolation to avoid capture during times of conflict.

Padmini Palace

One of the fort’s most renowned landmarks, Padmini Palace is closely associated with the legend of Queen Padmini, celebrated for her beauty. Surrounded by water, the palace is linked to the story of Alauddin Khilji, who is said to have been the first to glimpse the queen’s reflection in a mirror. This legendary encounter became one of the most famous tales associated with Chittorgarh’s history.

1:30 PM - Lunch Break – Taste Rajasthani Flavours

Take a break and enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense). Sample authentic Rajasthani dishes such as dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, or ker sangri, while reliving the morning’s highlights with your guide.

Meera Temple

After lunch, continue your visit with a stop at Meera Temple, dedicated to the poet-saint Meera Bai, who devoted her life to Lord Krishna. The temple is known for its intricate carvings and peaceful atmosphere, offering a glimpse into the spiritual traditions of Rajasthan.

Gaumukh Reservoir

Head to Gaumukh Reservoir, a sacred water tank traditionally believed to have provided a vital water supply during the fort’s many sieges. Fed by a natural spring emerging from a rock shaped like a cow’s mouth, the reservoir takes its name from this distinctive feature. Visitors can often see pilgrims feeding the fish, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of the site.

Seven Gates of Chittorgarh

As you explore further, discover its seven historic gateways, which once formed part of its extensive defensive system. From Padal Pol to Ram Pol, each gate reflects the fort’s strategic importance and tells a story of Rajput resistance and military history.

Return Journey to Udaipur

As the day winds down, sit back and relax on the drive back to Udaipur, reflecting on the many highlights of your visit. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at your hotel, bringing your journey through Chittorgarh’s history to a close.
