The 16th century
WelcomHeritage Bassi Fort, 25 km from Chittorgarh is set
amidst the hills of the Vindhyachal ranges. The ornate
gates, domes, arches and corridors of the Palace recall
the grandeur of another era when valour, honour as well
as ostentation were understood precepts of royalty. The
fort has been painstakingly restored, maintaining the
integrity of the original structure, while it subtly
introduces the trappings of modern comfort.
5 km from the fort is the Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary with
its gentle slopes and large water bodies where panthers,
wild boars, antelopes and mongooses can be sighted. |
