Taragarh Fort
It was built in 1345 and is great to ramble around at leisure.
This is rather a ramshackle fort, with its overgrown vegetation.
The view over the town and surrounding countryside from the top
are magical, especially at sun set. Inside the ramparts are huge
reservoirs carved out of solid rock, and the Bhim Burj, the largest
of the battle-fields, on which there is a famous cannon.
Taragarh is reached by steep road leading up the hillside to its
enormous gateway. Take a path up behind the Chitra Shala; go east
along the inside of the ramparts then left up the steep stone ramp
just before the Dudha Mahal, a small disused building 200m from
the palace.
