Tourism in Rajasthan - Rajasthan is where all the country's similes and metaphors appear to have come together. Sand dunes, wooded hills and
amazing lakes, palaces and rugged forts, men and women in colorful turbans
and skirts, bustling towns and quiet villages, camels, elephants and tigers,
harsh sunlight and the cool evening breeze - are all there in abundance.
It
was built in 1345 and is great ramble around at leisure. This is rather a ramshackle
fort, with its overgrown vegetation.
The view over the town and surrounding countryside from the top are magical,
especially at sun set. Inside the ramparts are huge reservoirs carved out of
solid rock, and the Bhim Burj, the largest of the battle- fields, on which there
is mounted a famous cannon. 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.
