After breakfast, visit the Gwalior Fort – The Mughal emperor Babar mentioned the Gwalior Fort as `the pearl amongst fortresses in India and although you’ll beg to differ, you’ll probably agree that this, the dominating feature of Gwalior skyline, is certainly a citadel worth seeing.With a turbulent and pretty eventful past, the Gwalior Fort spreads out over a neighborhood of three square km, bounded by solid walls of sandstone, which enclose three temples, six palaces and variety of water tanks.
See the foremost famous Teli-ka-Mandir – a 9th century Dravidian-style shrine which is notable for its profusely sculpted exterior.

Visit Man Singh Palace, built by Man Singh within the 15th century.
