About Taragarh Fort :
"Taragarh Fort must have been built by angels not by human beings,"
commented Rudyard Kipling.
The Taragarh Fort, built in 1354, with its imposing
structure of stone, is situated on a steep hill and has massive
battlements and ramparts. The fort welcomes the tourist through an
enormous gateway. Once inside the fort, one can see the Bhim Burj, the
largest battlement, and a huge water reservoir carved out of solid rock
that once supplied water to the palace.
The fort also provides a panoramic view of the entire town of Bundi.
The view over the town and surrounding countryside from the top are
magical, especially at sun set. Taragarh is reached by steep road
leading up the hillside to its enormous gateway. Take a path up behind
the chitra Shala, go east along the inside of the ramparts then left up
the steep stone ramp just before the Dudha Mahal, a small disused
building 200m from the palace.
