Madhogarh fort (Haryana)
Awesome is the only word that I would use to describe this fort. Situated on top of a small hill of Aravali Mountain
ranges in Haryana, it is by far the most beautiful fort I have come across.
This fort has two complexes;
one is the main complex which is situated at the top and the
smaller section is located just below it.

Just few meters below these complexes a large tank is also there on the hill. The main complex has underground chamber(s)
which is believed to be connected to the tank. A stone wall with check-posts is also
visible at several sections of the hill.
Extended fort walls are visible in the background
This would have been a spectacular fort in its prime but today it is in ruins. In absence of proper care its walls and roofs are falling apart.
Tank just below the fort
It is believed that this fort was
built more than 400 years ago but by whom, that is still doubtful. Many believe that it was built by King Madho Singh of Jaipur. I visited this fort last Sunday along with my
friend Naveen. For reaching here one has to take Mohindergarh–Satnali route.
Around 12 Kms from Mohindergarh, just around the last hill turn a small temple
would come on left side. A narrow but long, unpaved way alongside this temple
would take you to the fort.

Dear Lalit,
Thanks for sharing this information on this blog. It would be of great help to everybody visiting this blog, if you could share(and in future as well) your blog(if any) or a time-table of your camping plan here. I would also like to invite you to share your camping experience at this place and also your efforts for keeping this place clean, unlike other campers who leave behind their unwanted imprints(garbage etc).

Bhai main Jhojhu Kalan ka hoon. Wanna to see Madhavgarh Fort.I like historical palaces. Because they are haunted.
We recently made a trip to this place for my blog www.foodravel.com.
This place has been ignored by the administration and it can be a great historic symbol of this village.
