Bundi
Bundi is a pretty and not-so-busy place in Rajasthan known for its forts, palaces, stepwells, blue-painted houses and unique art style. The town is surrounded by the Aravalli hills and is a fascinating place with narrow lanes, centuries-old architecture, and a traditional market. The Hada Rajputs ruled Bundi in the past and Bundi Palace and Taragarh Fort, overlooking the town from the surrounding hills, are particularly renowned. The palace is known for its beautiful miniature paintings and murals that portray scenes from nature, royal life and mythology. Bundi also features some amazing stepwells, like Raniji Ki Baori, which demonstrates the ingenuity of Rajasthan's water architecture. Apart from its monuments, the town also provides a more relaxed and authentic experience of Rajasthan, outside the tourist hubs. Bundi is also a great place for those who want to explore the history, architecture, art and culture, with its ancient streets, hidden stepwells, elaborate paintings and a panoramic view from the fort.
Best Time to Visit Bundi
October to March is the best time to visit Bundi as the weather is comfortable and pleasant for exploring the old town, stepwells, palaces and forts. Walking tours and outdoor sightseeing are especially perfect during the winter season. Also, the monsoon season from July to September is beautiful, the surrounding hills greener, and the town has a refreshing atmosphere. It can be very hot in the summer, particularly in the afternoon.
