Ajmer
Hike up to Taragarh Fort perched 870 metres above Ajmer, one of India's oldest hill forts, from where you can see the entire Ajmer valley, Ana Sagar Lake, and the Aravalli ranges stretching to the horizon. The fort has fascinating Mughal-era cisterns, bastions, and the tomb of Mittha Shah within its crumbling walls.
The trail from the Dargah end is more direct but steeper — the route through the Jhalra area is longer but more scenic.
