About Taragarh
Taragarh fort was built in 1354 and is great palace to ramble around at
leisure. Set within the horse-shoe shaped fold of the hills, and with
the lakes and water reservoirs below, the fort straddles the crest and
offers invincible battlements that must have proved difficult to scale.
Taragarh is reached by a steep road leading up the hillside to its
enormous gateway. The views over the town and surrounding countryside
from the top are magical, especially at sunset. The huge reservoirs
within the fort were carved out of solid rock and the Bhim Burj, the
largest of the battlements, on which there is mounted a famous cannon.
