Khandar Fort
खंडार दुर्ग
A hilltop fort about 25 km east of Ranthambore, with thick walls, few visitors and views over the Banas River valley.
Khandar Fort stands on a hill with steep slopes on three sides. It was once a military stronghold in the Ranthambore area and saw successive rule by the Mewar and Mughal dynasties. Today it retains its gates, gun emplacements, water cisterns and the remains of Jain temples. Visitors are few and the roads are rough, so hire a car, and allow about 30 minutes to walk uphill. It suits travelers who have already visited Ranthambore Fort and want to explore a more primitive fortress. Bring plenty of drinking water.
