Towering majestically over the forested hills of the Rajsamand district, Kumbhalgarh Fort is one of Rajasthan's most formidable hill citadels. Built in the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha, it boasts the second-longest continuous stone wall in the world (spanning an incredible 36 kilometers) — often hailed as the Great Wall of India. It is also celebrated as the historic birthplace of Mewar's legendary warrior king, Maharana Pratap.
