Palace On Wheels
Chittorgarh Fort - Victory Tower and More -
The fort has witnessed three
ferocious sieges with her defenders symbolizing the Rajputana pride by fighting
valiantly against their enemies. The fort crowns a rocky hill. It
rises 500 feet above the surrounding region and runs approximately three
kilometers. The ascent is hair-raising to say the least. The bus had
literally centimeters of clearance. The road in (and out) takes you
through zigzags interrupted at intervals by seven enormous gateways or ‘Pols’.
'Padan, Bhairon, Hanuman, Ganesh, Jorla, Lakshman, and Ram Pol'.
