The
Taragarh Palace, Bundi
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.
