Chittorgarh Fort Guided Sightseeing Day Tour from Udaipur Itinerary.

• We'll pick you up from your hotel or your desired place in Udaipur at the agreed time and drive to Chittorgarh Fort.
• Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Chittorgarh Fort still preserves several palaces, memorial towers, and monumental gates. As we tour the complex, we'll tell you the story of its legendary siege in 1303. According to legend, a love affair with Sultan Alauddin Khalji may have been the trigger for this important military operation.
• Explore the Chittorgarh Fort, the capital of Mewar, which sprawls over a hill 180 meters in height over an area of 280 ha above the plains of the valley drained by the Berach River. The fort has several historical palaces, gates, a temple, and two prominent commemorative towers. Legend has it that Alauddin Khilji, who was the first to sack Chittor, was so besotted by the regal beauty of Rani Padmini that he was overpowered by a desire to possess her. But the noble queen preferred death over dishonor and committed "Jauhar" (mass self-immolation).
• Visit the 9-meter-wide Vijaya Stambha, or the Tower of Victory, located within the Chittor Fort. The tower was constructed by Rana Kumbha, the Mewar king, in 1448 to commemorate his victory over Mahmud Khilji and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
• Continue your visit to the Kriti Stambha, or Tower of Fame, another important feature of Chittor Fort. The Solanki-style architectural tower is 22- meters long and was established by the first Jain Tirthankar.
• See the Padmini Palace, the home of Rani Padmini, lying near Chittorgarh Fort. You can also visit the Rana Kumbha Palace, situated inside the Chittorgarh Fort, home to the famous Bhakti poetess Meerabai.
• The tour will end by dropping you off at your desired location in Udaipur.
