It was in 2005 I visited Rajasthan, as part of an extended North Indian trip. We travelled mostly by train and visited Delhi, Agra and Mumbai along with places in Rajastan. In Rajastan, along with the most common tourist circuits of Jaipur and Udaypur, I added a relatively obscure location during that trip - the Chittorgah Fort.
The trip was more than 10 years back, but I vaguely remember reaching Chittorgarh in the early hours by train, and the hotel facilities were limited. I arranged a Toyota Qualis for our visit to the fort, and our onward journey to Udaipur later.
Here are some pictures from the now famous Chittor Fort.

Meera's Temple (This is where Saint Meera bhai prayed to Lord Krishna)
The trip was more than 10 years back, all I had was a point and shoot camera, and an inexperienced hand. Please forgive the picture quality.
