Places to see

edit

The only structure in good condition is a small mosque on the western edge of the fort. A night stay at the fort can be made in the caves or mosque on the fort. The rock-cut arch-gate of the pleasure palace of Rang Mahal stands in good condition with all its walls fallen to ruins. There are two rock-cut water cisterns on the scarp near the entrance with rock-cut figures of Nandi Bull and Lingas. It takes about one hour to visit all places on the fort.
