Travel to Bundi

A small sleepy town located in the southern part of the state of Rajasthan, Bundi is known for its palaces, intricately designed step wells and water tanks. The history of Bundi dates back to 1193 AD when Sultan Mohammed Ghauri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan, which compelled the Chauhan nobles to seek shelter in the neighboring state of Mewar. While some of them became allies to the king of Mewar, others proceeded towards the Chambal valley where they overpowered the ruling tribals and formed the two states of Bundi and Kota on either side of the Chambal River.

Apart from its palaces, forts, lakes and beautiful surroundings, Bundi also has a number of colorful bazaars that dazzle your eyes. Bundi is also famous for the annual Teej festival held anytime during the months of July and August. Tourists must make it a point to travel to Bundi during this colorful festival, which can be an amazing experience. The best time to visit Bundi is during the winters (October to March).
