Bundi Travel Guide

Bundi is the undiscovered splendour, 36 Kms from Kota ruled by the Hada Chauhans. First destination is HADOTI. Set in a narrow inclining gorge. The palaces and forts have fairy tale quality about them. Isolated and independent, this picturesque location has much to offer.

Rajput architecture shines and in the intricately carved brackets, pillars etc. Interesting places are Diwan-e- aam, Hathia Pol, and Naubat Khana. The Chitra SHALA has a colourful glimpse of history painted on ceilings and walls, making it an open art gallery.

The paintings of Bundi School are famous for its festivals, animals and birds scenes portrayed beautifully. During the state time Bundi was popular for hunting's and so are the hunting lodges like Phool Sagar Palace, Sukh Mahal and Shikar Burj
