About Fort

This fort is situated at Gopachal, nearly 100m above the town of Gwalior. It’s width ranges from nearly 1km, to less than 200m. The walls, which encircle the fort, are solid and nearly 10m high. In places the cliff overhangs and elsewhere it has been clipped to make it steep and hence unscalable. It earned the reputation of being North and Central India’s most impregnable fort. Babur described the fort as, “The pearl amongst fortresses in India”.
The fort also enjoys the advantage of an unlimited water supply, as there are many water tanks on the plateau.
The fort can be approached from the south or the northeast. The latter approach starts from the archaeological museums and leads to the doors of the Man Singh Palace. The southern entrance is via the URBAI GATE and goes past the cliff face with Jain Sculptures on it.

    Gwalior as a tourist destination in india has nothing much to see. The area is known for decoits (bhind/murena). Scindia’s have dominated entire gwalior region which was a state of india. It is because of them only the rural is still rural only. People are migrating to far cites to get the lively hood. There is much of job opportunities.

    First need is tourism or food?
