Forts of India #15 Kishangarh Fort

The Kishangarh Fort is officially closed for casual visitors and all reservations need to be made from their Delhi office before arrival. I stopped by this tiny town overnight on my way to Bundi and beyond.


The road to the fort is scenic and passes by a beautiful lake called Gundolow Sagar which is like a huge oasis in the desert. There is ample parking both outside and inside the main gate.

There is also a boating facility for INR 60 per person that I enjoyed with a cool breeze over the lake.

The views of the fort are the best from the lakeside.

There are also benches and kattas below a huge peepal tree that spreads its branches way over the water.

Those who do not want to enjoy boating can soak their feet in the cool waters of the lake.

This facility is just beside that Phool Mahal palace.

Most parts of the fort and the Phool Mahal palace and also the boating facility have ramps and leveled walkways to facilitate access to the differently-abled.

Here’s a snapshot:

Hi @KamalHossenR

No pictures of the boat that I took, but it was similar to the one published by others.

Like this one without the covering roof.
And another powerboat that I did not try.

Thank you dear @MAHBUB_HYDER , @Fatama for the appreciation :blush:

@MahabubMunna The best time to visit Rajasthan is after 15 January.

15 Dec to 15 Jan is the holiday season and difficult to find hotels + places are also overcrowded.

But the limit is 30 March when I went there. After 1st April it becomes terribly warm since it is a desert area.

That is a nice idea @RosyKohli :blush: though the railing is for boarding the boat so I don’t think they would allow anyone to just sit there.

But there are several other places by the lakeside that I haven’t taken photos of where sitting near the lake is allowed.

Heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to dear Tushar Sir for beautifully showcasing our lovely city Kishangarh on Google Connects. The detailed information about Kishangarh Fort, Gundolav Lake, and the wonderful photographs truly reflect the cultural beauty and heritage of our city.

Your efforts as a Google Moderator and Local Guide are highly inspiring and valuable for the entire community. Posts like these not only promote local tourism but also make people feel proud of their city.

Thank you once again for your dedication, positivity, and meaningful contribution to the Local Guides community. :folded_hands::cherry_blossom:

Thank you for the appreciation, dear @Shyamtak001 :handshake:

It was a memorable journey to Kishangarh, though we did not know each other back then.

Looking forward to return to Kishangarh and nearby places soon :partying_face:

@TusharSuradkar . Kisangarh is also famous for its miniature paintings. The lake used to be in very bad condition full of sewage and water hyacinth till it was restored to its pristine glory

@curatorofmemory
The only bummer was that the fort was in private ownership and not available for the public to explore.

What was your experience like there?
Do you have any photos to share?
