India is more than travel, India is history, culture and royalty.
I am Akshay Sharma and via AVS Holidays, I have been able to visit numerous amazing destinations in India, and in particular, historic forts that present strong narratives of kings, battles and heritage.
As a traveler, I visit many of the uncovered forts and historical sites in India, but I do not only guide tourists, I guide the explorers, since my home is Kirti Nagar, New Delhi.
In case you are a history and architecture fan and have a royal mood, then this guide is just what you need.
Best Forts to Visit in India
My own recommendations
:
Amber Fort
An awesome fort with a rich history and architecture. The palace and fort are combined together making it a must visit.
Mehrangarh Fort
It is one of the biggest Indian forts that provide stunning scenery of the blue city.
Red Fort
An emblem of Indian history and national pride, standing in the center of Delhi.
Gwalior Fort
Also referred to as the Gibraltar of India, it is known by its immense size and a rich history.
Chittorgarh Fort
The greatest fort of India, full of tales of manliness and sacrifice.
Jaisalmer Fort
A living fort in which people continue to live to-day, quite an experience in itself.
Other Places not to miss in India.
Beyond Forts
Forts are fantastic, but I would always recommend to visit them along with other scenic places:
Goa
Ideal in beaches, nightlife and relaxing.
Manali
Perfectly suited to mountain enthusiasts and adventurers.
Kerala
Reputed backwaters, greens and easygoing atmosphere.
Mumbai
Contemporary lifestyle, culture, and beauty.
Varanasi
The greatest fort of India, full of tales of manliness and sacrifice.
Jaisalmer Fort
The city with the power of the spirit, one of the oldest in the world.
Why Visit Forts in India?
At least, as my experience has shown, forts are not only old buildings, but they are living histories of Indian past.
More Than Just Monuments
Royal architecture
Historical significance
Amazing views
Cultural heritage
Photography opportunities
I always suggest using Akshay Sharma AVS Holiday because once you are at the place, you should also include forts.
