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.

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.

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 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

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.

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

Winters is the best to explore. But with a caution that you must have a love for the forts and history.
If you love Indian History, a must place to visit. Beautiful fort, place and people. But just go with a full stomach, its too much to explore in 2/3 hrs.
Too much to walk, so be with a good pair of shoes, and especially a history teller (GUIDE) who is available at the ticket counter.
Stunning view of Bundi and culture.

I had lovely experience in Taragarh Fort in Bundi. I travelled to the place with my late father, mother, wife and elder son. I loved the brilliant structure of the Fort and the Poles. I loved the ambience.

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 appears to be 100 years. The trails are blocked with fallen trees, there is garbage everywhere and it stinks like excrement and urine. Where does the entrance fees go? Certainly mot towards any maintenence or conservation. For me, Taragarh was the guesthouse who takes my 400 rupees but have never cleaned the walls and won't even clean the turd stain in the toilet or the bus companies who gladly take my money but offers nothing in the way of comfort, convenience, or cleanliness. Sadly, it represents the other side of modern India where everyone wants money (mainly yours) and wants to do nothing for it. Instead of charging 100 rupees to visit Taragarh they should offer a sincere apology something like this: "I am sorry, for while our ancestors constructed some of the most impressive structures in the world, we have become a people too greedy and too lazy to even maintain their achievements". Bundi is also known as the city of step wells (baoris) as it has close to 100 of them, but again 95% are treated like dumpsters. Shame on you India for not looking after your national treasures. Try working for your money!
