Travel through the state of Rajasthan and discover the history of some of India's most famous wars on this Brahma Temple & Chittorgarh Fort Private Tour.
Brahma Temple & Chittorgarh Fort Private Tour
At 8 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Jaipur and drive to Chittorgarh Fort. Did you know that it's the largest fortress in India? We'll visit this monument conceived as the capital of the kingdom of Mewar and built in the valley of the Berach River in the 7th century.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Chittorgarh Fort still preserves several palaces, memorial towers and monumental gates. As we tour the complex, we'll tell you the story of its legendary siege in 1303. According to legend, a love affair of Sultan Alauddin Khalji may have been the trigger for this important military operation.
We'll leave the fort and head towards the city of Pushkar. Once we reach our destination, we'll visit the Brahma Temple, an important place of pilgrimage. Although Hinduism has many deities and temples that honour them, it's curious that the Creator God has very few places of worship. We'll explain why as we tour this 16th century temple.
Before returning to the vehicle, we'll visit Pushkar Lake. We'll see this sacred place and tell you why it's important for Hindus to bathe in its waters.
The tour will end by dropping you off at your hotel in Jaipur at 4 pm. If you prefer, we can also drop you off at a central location in Udaipur.
