Why Visit Chittorgarh from Udaipur
Chittorgarh Fort stands on a high hill above the modern town, spread over a huge area with multiple palaces, temples, reservoirs and defensive walls. It was once the capital of the Mewar kingdom and is remembered for major sieges, including the famous jauhar led by Rani Padmini.
For travellers staying in Udaipur, a day trip to Chittorgarh adds a very different flavour to the lake‑city experience. Where Udaipur is romantic and serene, Chittorgarh feels rugged, heroic and full of stories – from the soaring Vijay Stambh celebrating Rana Kumbha’s victory, to quieter corners like Meera Temple, Gaumukh Reservoir and the viewpoints around Padmini Palace.
