Bhainsrodgarh Fort,Chittorgarh

If there ever was a fort in India which was never taken, the one in Bhainsrodgarh is it. Southwest of Kota and built by one of the rulers of Bundi as a deface against invasions from the Marathas, this 14th century fort is one of its kind - and that doesn't apply just to it being impregnable. The fort is situated on a 230 feet high rock, and access to it is via just one route only; three sides fall away to a great drop, skimming a vertical rock face. Two of these sides are protected by the Chambal river, and the huge rock face makes it a formidable fort to the discerning eye. The fort is still the home of the descendant of the original feudal family of Baroli and admission is restricted for visitors. Prior permission has to be reserved from the occupants of the fort before a visit may be allowed.
