While the appeal of this megacity may not be immediately obvious, it may charm you with the remnants of its Mughal and British history.

       Breakfast at the hotel. Departure for Kumbalgarh and its fort, one of the most important in Mewar. Built in the 15th century on a hill at 1,100 meters altitude, it is very difficult to access.
