km from Udaipur. Situated in the laps of the ancient Aravali Mountain
Ranges, Kumbalgarh is known for its 15th century Kumbalgarh Fort - the
highest and considered as the most formidable in Rajasthan. Even the
mighty Mughals couldn’t capture it alone, and it took the combined
armies of Delhi, Amber and Marwar to breach its defenses. Standing
majestically on a 1,914m high ridge and representing the past glory of
the Rajput rulers, the Fort also provides a panoramic view of the
