Things to do in  Bundi

Overlooking Bundi in India’s desert state of Rajasthan, Taragarh Fort is a 14th-century fortification where you’ll see ancient architecture while taking in fantastic city views. The fort gets its name for its starlike shape—tara means star and garh means fort.

Also known as Bundi Palace, Garh Palace was constructed in the 13th century as a royal residence, which has since housed many generations of maharajas and maharanis. Appearing to emerge from the rocky hillside, parts of the structure are decaying, but there are plenty for visitors to see, from the intricate architecture to colorful murals.

Built in 1699, Raniji ki Baori is the largest stepwell in Bundi—and the most popular. It measures around 151 feet (46 meters) deep and features masterfully carved interiors complete with numerous tiny elephants, gods, and goddesses hewn from stone.

Overlooking Jait Sagar Lake in the northern reaches of Bundi, the Sukh Mahal is an elegant 18th-century palace that was commissioned as a summer home for the royal family. It’s characterized by beautiful Rajput architectural features, including domes known as chhatris and arched windows, plus lovely views across the water.
