About Nahargarh Fort

From the top of Nahargarh, streets and rooftops put the city you've been walking into scale. The view steals the attention, but step into the Madhavendra Bhawan while it's open: apartments and corridors show that the complex wasn't only about watching over the landscape.

Arrive with time to spare: the interior sections may close before the light you imagined for your photos. Arrange your ride back with the driver and stay in the visitor areas, without climbing on ramparts to improve your shot.
