The Unheard Fort – Achittragarh Fort

Tags: fort

I guess this was the most unheard Fort. Not many visitors was there and that is for two reasons. Firstly, the fort had no inherent, so locals started living till 1992 and even painted walls according to their wish. Secondly, there is no much hype about the place and fort both.

During my recent visit to Nagaur, to attend a wedding, I though to give a shot to this fort even after local friend stopped me.

To my much surprise, the fort is big. The fort is beautiful. And this fort deserves visitors.

Achittragarh Fort, Nagaur. Currently, the fort is under Shri Gaj Singh Ji ( owner of The Umaid Palace, awarded as worlds best Heritage hotel). So, a team of 15 from London is working to remove the paint, preservance of original walls and its heritage. And they are  going great. 

How to Reach.


From Jodhpur ( Rajasthan), it took us 2 hours to reach Nagaur by roadways bus. Local trains are also available.

About Nagaur.

Its a village. Not very much developed and so the facilities are average. Though the Fort and heritage hotels have world class facilities and they are really costly starting from 18,000 INR / per night. Local guest houses and hotels are cheap options available.

About Fort.

The visitors ticket costs us 30 INR per person (inclusive of guide charges). Yes, it was that cheap and he did his job very well. Fort is spacious, beautiful and they are really working hard to preserve this beautiful heritage.

Speciality of the Fort.
