Apart from the famous fact that the wall of Kumbhalgarh fort is second longest, after the Great Wall of China, the lesser known historical fact is the Maharana Pratap was born in this fort. This is a magistic fort and the wall is worth a visit at least once. The views of adjoining district and an awesome dense forest from the top on one side, and the first complex on the other side, are unparalleled.

Perched on a hilltop, Kumbhalgarh is a fortress nestled on the banks of the Banas River in Mewar. It is cradled in the Aravalli Hills in Rajsamand district of Rajasthan, India. Kumbhalgarh, located around 80km north of Udaipur, is a fort epitomizing the bravery and chivalry of the Rajput era. Its associated battlements are said to be second only to the Great Wall of China in extent. The Kumbhalgarh Festival is named after Rana Kumbha who was an enthusiastic supporter and patron of fine arts, architecture, and learning. The Kumbhalgarh Festival is an ode to the fascinatingly rich art, culture, and heritage of Rajasthan. Organized by the Department of Tourism of the state to promote the culture and heritage of Rajasthan. Kumbhalgarh Fort is the second most important citadel in the Mewar region after Chittorgarh. The palace is known as the silent hill station of Rajasthan and stands on the high ridge with an elevation of 1100metres (3600feet) above sea level. It is a great example of the past grandeur and glory of the Rajput Kings of Rajasthan. The fort of Kumbhalgarh dates back to the 15th century when it was built by Rana Kumbha. In Kumbha’s time, the kingdom of Mewar extended from Ranthambore to Gwalior, including vast tracts of present-day Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. Kumbhalgarh was once the seat of Prince Samprati, who was the Jain descendants of the erstwhile Mauryan Dynasty, who ruled here in the 2nd century defining the boundaries between Mewar and Marwar. Rana took around 15 years to built this fort. The sentimental significance of the fort also accounts for the birthplace of Maharana Pratap who was a great king and warrior of Mewar. The fort was built to serve a refuge for Mewar rulers in times of strife.
