Tour Plan
8:00 AM - Hotel Pick-Up in Udaipur

Your day starts. with a comfortable hotel pick-up in Udaipur by private driver.

Arrival at Chittorgarh Fort – A UNESCO World Heritage Site

Upon reaching Chittorgarh, step into the magnificent Chittorgarh Fort, one of the most celebrated landmarks in Rajasthan. Sprawling across 700 acres, the fort stands as a symbol of Rajput courage and sacrifice, having witnessed legendary tales of battles, sieges, and devotion. With your expert guide, you will learn about the fort’s strategic significance and the dynasty that once ruled this bastion of pride.

Vijay Stambh (Victory Tower)

Begin your guided exploration with the Vijay Stambh, an imposing nine-storey tower built by Rana Kumbha to commemorate victory over the Sultan of Malwa. Its detailed carvings depicting Hindu gods and goddesses reflect the rich artistic traditions of the Rajputs. Climb to the top for breathtaking panoramic views of the fort and surrounding landscapes.

Kirti Stambh (Tower of Fame)

Next, visit the Kirti Stambh, a striking Jain monument dedicated to Lord Adinath. Smaller but older than the Victory Tower, it celebrates values of peace, non-violence, and truth. The intricate Jain sculptures carved into its walls are a delight for history and art lovers.

Rana Kumbha Palace

Continue your journey into the Rana Kumbha Palace, the grand residential complex of the Rajput rulers. Although in ruins today, the palace whispers tales of royal life, courtly gatherings, and even the tragic self-immolation (Jauhar) led by Rani Padmini to protect honour and dignity.

Padmini Palace

One of the highlights of the fort, the Padmini Palace is famed for the legendary beauty of Queen Padmini. Set amidst water gardens, this palace is where Alauddin Khilji is believed to have first glimpsed the queen’s reflection – sparking one of the most dramatic chapters in medieval Indian history.

1:30 PM - Lunch Break – Taste Rajasthani Flavours

Take a refreshing break to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (self-paid). Savour authentic Rajasthani dishes such as dal baati churma, gatte ki sabzi, or ker sangri, while reliving the morning’s discoveries with your guide.

Meera Temple

Resume your tour with a visit to the Meera Temple, dedicated to the poet-saint Meera Bai, who devoted her life to Lord Krishna. The temple exudes serenity, with exquisite carvings and an atmosphere of devotion that continues to draw pilgrims and visitors alike.

Gaumukh Reservoir Head to the Gaumukh Reservoir, a sacred water tank believed to have provided sustenance during the fort’s many sieges. The reservoir is fed by a spring emerging from a rock shaped like a cow’s mouth (hence the name Gaumukh). Pilgrims often feed the fish here, adding to its tranquil charm.

Seven Gates of Chittorgarh

As you explore further, discover the seven massive gates that once served as the fort’s strong defence system. Each gateway, from Padal Pol to Ram Pol, tells stories of resistance and Rajput bravery, making you appreciate the fort’s military genius.

Return Journey to Udaipur

As the day winds down, begin your journey back to Udaipur, reflecting on the incredible tales of valour, sacrifice, and devotion that you’ve experienced at Chittorgarh Fort. Upon arrival, you’ll be dropped back at your hotel, carrying with you cherished memories of Rajasthan’s glorious history.
