Like a gigantic brown snake, the great ramparts of Kumbhalgarh Fort wind along the rugged contours of the Aravalli Hills for 36 km. This massive 15th century fort, strategically located at a height of 1,050 m along the border between Marwar and Mewar, was known as "The Eye of Mewar", because it offered a commanding view of the countryside for miles around. Built by Maharana Kumbha, who also built the great fort of Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh was justly reputed to be the most impregnable fort in Rajasthan. Its ramparts are wide enough for six horsemen to ride abreast, and seven fortified gates, studded with threatening spikes, lead to its entrance. The crenellated walls of the fot enclose the smaller fortress of Kartargarh, several palaces and temples now in ruins, fields, water reservoirs and stables.
