Chittorgarh
Climb the 9-storey, 37-metre Vijay Stambha — a 15th-century victory tower built by Maharana Kumbha to celebrate his military triumph over the Malwa Sultanate. Every surface of this tower is covered in intricate carvings of Hindu deities, and the view from the top over the plains of Rajasthan is extraordinary.
The staircase inside is steep and narrow — not recommended for those with vertigo or knee problems.
