Clearly one of the greatest forts of north India. Given that Bundi had no paucity of water and had fertile land around, it is a surprise that it did not become a bigger power centre in history. The fort i imposing and the wall can be seen running all around for miles and miles. You can get great views of... More

Unfortunately, Taragarh symbolizes everything wrong with modern India. They charge a hefty 100 rupees to enter (add 50 if you are foolish enough to pay for a camera) and it wouldn't even be worth it if it were free (it's not worth the effort to hike up to it). It's been left in a state of complete decay for what... More

Taragarh fort is watching over the lovely city of Bundi ! But obviously nobody is watching over this fort (it's kind of falling apart, trees and plants are growing everywhere - I riped of my clothes during the walk and shoes are a must, no info about which direction to go). The walk up is bit steep. Beware of monkey... More

It is a steep fifteen minute walk up the slippery path to Taragarh, but it is worth it. I was totally alone, apart from the armies of monkeys and had a breathtaking 360 degree view of the city and hills below

pity pity pity because the fort is beautiful, but everything is falling down, walls, doors, ornaments, and the worse, full of garbage and monkeys excrement everywhere. it hurts my heart to see such a place in these conditions. I think they charge 200 rupees for entry, they should ask more if is this the problem and take care of the... More

It is steeped in history. It has superb views from the main living area. It's a decent walk up & around. And, it's full of monkeys! Watch out though, if you look them in the eye they'll tear your face off apparently... don't miss this place but bring a big stick.

If you manage to find the entrance of the path, you are lucky! while they sell you a special entrance ticket + fee for use of camera, you just guess as climbing the hill that you are heading in the right direction! When you reach the fortress door, still nobody! We wandered through the ruins for 2 hours without seeing... More

This place is marvellous. It's huge and unkempt - and probably quite dangerous because of that. I wandered for hours without being bothered by anyone, and hardly even seeing anyone either. The palace at the bottom of the hill is gorgeous, but I liked the fort better as it seemed to go on for ever. If you walk around the... More

Really worth a look, not full of other tourists, its quite run down and this adds to the charm of the place. It is crawling with bats and horrible monkeys who are not to be trifled with. So if your scared of animals... don't go! Otherwise we'll worth it for the views of Bundi
