The magnificent Shivad Fort, in Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan was completed in the 16th century by the Rajawat clan of the Kachhawa Rajputs. This is by far the biggest fort of an erstwhile Thikana, which covers the entire hill top and was a city in itself, complete with a court, jail, granary, watch towers, royal quarters etc. The magnitude of the fort grows on you slowly and it's worth seeing the basements which also act as water reservoirs, which were a must to survive long periods of siege during the time of wars. The fort is surrounded by about 600 acres of a private Forest and lakes with a motorable road leading right up to it.

┬а┬а┬аRead moreIf you want to get away from the humdrum from city life, the tranquil environs of Fort Shivad offers you peace and joy which i was very much looking forward to ЁЯШК. Surrounded by a huge forest area, Fort Shivad lies nestled gracefully at a hilltop , giving you a beautiful view of the lake , temples..Steeped in history , The sheer expanse of the fort to the still preserved beautiful wall art had me spellbound ! And if you have a 4 year old who is as adventurous as my daughter, you can have a wonderful stay at the Fort.
The local cuisine served at the Fort is to die for ! We ate like gluttons but the walking across the forest trails and the fort left us wanting for more ЁЯШБ
The icing on the cake was the Duke of Shivad- An extremely well read Duke yet humble to the core made us feel so at home. The Shivad history had us all ears wanting to know more and more and more . His grace and generosity is unbeatable. Thankyou Duke !
Until we meet again Braveheart...
