If you are a history lover, Gwalior fort is the place you must visit. It provides a beautiful scenic view when you reach at the top of the small hill. You can see whole Gwalior. Many attractions are hidden inside the Fort that you will love to see. It is a beautiful place. I went there on around October weekend.... More

Personally I believe a visit to the fort is worthwhile. It has a lot of variety for a visitor and undoubtedly you may spend a half day without any issue.Then if you are an ardent believer of Sikh or Jain religion, you will find your sites of religious significance within the fort. My advise is to start the exploration from... More

Great exterior, with beautiful blue tiling and towers. Some attractive interiors, but not as extensive as I'd hoped.

1.Once a very important fort due to its strategic position but now it stands neglected. 2.Premises need more attention. 3.Public utility facilities were either absent or out of sight. 4.The small ticket shop had bare minimum essential eatables and did not even have tea. If with kids, make sure they visit the restroom and carry food with them. 5.Very long... More

a visit to this place would form part of ur itinerary when u visit gwalior. the approach road is quite long. the fort also has a light and sound show. but not very well maintained and gives an eerie feeling at night.

Gwalior Fort looms high over the city of Gwalior and is a spectacular site. It is some 2.5 Kms from one end to the other with several structure worth seeing. Is has been maintained in very good condition. Gwalior is often bypassed by tourists but is well worth a couple of nights.

We paid the admission to the fort (the actual palace), Then we were approached by a tour guide who seemed to be official. He showed us around this and that, including things we did not need to see. I mentioned more than once that we wanted to get out of there, to see other things on the hill. Finally, he... More

Well, yeah you have to agree with that. You can definitely come to Gwalior for fort alone, though there are lot of other amazing places too in Gwalior. I would say: -- There's a lot of history about this place, the view of city from fort is amazing. -- U can hire a guide for a more historical tour, but... More

Really good. On the way up we spent some time looking at the awesome stone carvings. When we eventually arrived at the fort we were not intending to use a guide but ended up using one. His name was Ram, and this turned out to be a very good decision as we saw a number of sights we otherwise would... More
