A highlight of our tour of Rajasthan! An impressive and unique fort with views of the city and surrounding valley. Some reviews have complained that it is overgrown, but these complaints are overblown, and if anything only adds to the ancient feeling of the place, like you've stumbled upon an ancient ruin somehow preserved. Go with a guide - you don't want to miss the paintings, but you need someone to explain the interesting stories behind them. Well worth visiting, the fort was every bit as interesting as some of the more famous sites like the Amer Fort, and the town of Bundi is a friendly place that's a welcome break from the hustle of the big cities, with fewer tourists and hawkers

The fort itself would be very beautiful with a wonderful view and a very complex and interesting structure
Some of the interior spaces are beautiful, but it's a pity that overall the site is almost abandoned and in some parts completely ruined
It would require extensive restoration

Ashwani is one of those superior guides that we wish existed for every fort/city and his English is perfect. In Bundi, he provided us with an indepth exploration of the Taragarh fort/palace and nearby stepwell. Actually, the fort cannot be visited but the palace can. He was generous with his time and his passion for the archeology, history and art made the palace come to life for us. He is also an outstanding and riveting storyteller. We had such a wonderful time.

The Taragarh Fort is the oldest fort in Rajasthan and is build on a hill overlooking Bundi. It is now seriously overgrown, hard to walk up to and has lots of monkeys. The greenish tint of the stones shows that they used serpentine instead of sandstone to build it. It is a pity it is not better preserved.

This is a typical Rajasthan fortified palace. Probably you are best having a guide as the place is a bit of a rabbit warren and needs some explaining.
Don't miss the wall paintings towards to top of the palace as these are very fine examples and look in need of some expert preservation - at least there are grills installed to keep the monkeys out.
Views out across the town are well worth the climb.

Construction on the fort began in the 1340's. In its day it must have been amazing, now it is a ghost of it former splendour. It is definitely with the walk to the top of the hill to explore. It is large and has spectacular views all around. Then you can walk back down and have a look at Garh Palace

We were met at the gate by Jay (from Jay Cafe near by). He offered to guide us around the fort and also look after us from the monkeys that are found there in large quantities.
The hike was steep and took us through jungle like routes. It was very quiet and we met only one or two other travellers.
The fort's building and old palace are still impressive despite lying derelict for many years.
Jay is a great guide and really looked after us very well. A guide is recommended here for sure!

A majestic fort / palace of Ummed Singh of Rajasthan.
The garden at upper side of fort is truly mesmerizing.
Take care of slippery and steep way while entering into fort and picture gallery. You can purchase a stick for your comfort.

Well worth the very steep climb on old paths to the top, it’s advisable to take a “monkey bodyguard”. We used Jay from the little guest house/ restaurant on the right hand side of the palace approach road. Crumbling fortifications, three step wells and wonderful panoramas from the top.

Although it is a precipitous climb to reach Taragarh Fort, it is well worth the effort.The fort itself is of very strategic importance in the history of India. The facility itself (although it was built in the 13 century) is privately managed and does need repairs to bring it up to a reasonable standard for tourism. The tunnel system within the fort is very interesting and was built so that the king and high officials could escape if the fort was captured by invaders. There is an steep, overgrown trail that leads to buildings up higher on the hill including an old stepwell that supplied water to the palace. If you do venture up this trail, it is advised to carry a big stick to ward off menacing troops of monkeys that may hassle and even attack you.
