1. Ranthambore Fort
The most fascinating and most popular excursion taken from the national park
is tothe Ranthambore Fort. This fort was built by the Chauhans in the 10th century.
The fort is located at a very strategic position between north and central India
and hence it was always coveted by many rulers. This fort is famous for the
'Johar' (suicide by immolation to escape humilitaion) by Rajput women in 1301AD
during the siege by Ala-ud-din Khilji. The temples and tanks add to the beauty
of the fort. The seven gates and massive curtain walls, crowning a fall-topped
hill presents a majestic view.
