Alwar, Rajasthan
It was an unplanned trip. We just thought to take a day off
and go somewhere. I had a busy day at office so could not plan anything substantial. And without any
planning we just headed to Alwar. Though the trip did not proved that wonderful
to write about it, but still I thought before I forget it I will just jot down
the things that I liked there. First of all Alwar is not that a great place to
visit from the point of view of a tourist. But there is something worth
visiting everywhere and hence this post.
Alwar is considered as the gateway of Rajasthan. It is very
easy to reach there as it is just 160 km South from Delhi. And the road that
connects Alwar from Delhi is in good condition. The only place to visit here is the Bala Fort also known as
the Alwar Fort.
The
way to the fort is very interesting. We enjoyed the beauty of Aravalis hills on
our drive to the fort. Beautiful peacocks are also in abundance to welcome the tourists at every turn.
Don’t expect it to be a great fort, like many other forts of
Rajasthan. Most of the structures within the ramparts
lie in ruins; the remains are also very
simplistically maintained. And a special permission is required from the
Superintendent of Police, Alwar to visit the place.
