Sightseeing
Kumbhalgarh - Tourist Attractions
» Ekling : A priest is still employed by the present
Maharana to care for the shrines of his ancestors. And twice a day the
Pandit's family makes the stiff uphill climb to the castle to light the
sacred lamps before vermilion-daubed images of Hanuman, Chamunda, and
Ekling.
»
Horse Safari : Horse lovers and adventure seekers can enjoy the thrill
of riding and camping in the Reserve Forest around Kumbhalgarh. Each group
is accompanied by experienced sawars. Horses, tents, food and fodder are
provided by the Aohdin on prior notice at a very reasonable cost compared to
a hacking holiday in Europe or America.
» Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary : A hazardous,
barely jeepable track takes you to the 586 square kilometer Kumbhalgarh
Wildlife Sanctuary. The main attraction here would be panther, sloth bear,
wild boar, four-horned antelope or crocodiles, "scientifically bred"
in the lake.
» The Crocodile Farm : The Crocodile Farm has a
guesthouse belonging to the Forest Department and overnight stays are
possible. Good forest cover, jungle berries, fruits and nuts, water grasses,
algae, and fish provide sustenance for thousands of flamingoes, sarus
cranes, spoonbills, painted storks, cormorants, purple heron, egrets, duck,
and rosy pelican in winter. One also finds plenty of chakor partridge, crow
pheasants, jungle warblers, golden orioles, gray jungle fowl, and the usual
peacocks; parrots, pigeons, and doves.
