- Rakesh GuptaGurugram (Gurgaon), India63 contributionsThe Bundi Garh Palace and Chitrashala are definitely worth visiting. The entry fee is is 100 for the Garh Palace and is free for the Chitrashala . The enterance is a very steep and uneven climb. Senior citizens may find it a difficult climb . There are toilets only at the entry and non inside the compound. To appreciate the historical relevance , one should take a guide . I had hired Mr Harshit , Cell 87642 10540, who was very good , patient , knowledgeable and added great value to the tour. The Garh Palace is not well maintained . Parts of it are in good shape like the Hathi Entry Gate, the Tall Jhula gate , Diwane Aam . The Chitrashala has a collection of unique minature paintings showing Krishna Leela and is the best part of the tour.Written 19 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Pushkar SinhaNew Delhi, India816 contributionsIt's a must visit if you are visiting Garh Palace. Don't get lazy to climb a few 100 meters coz the fort ruins and the views from the top are worth your effort in climbing up. The path is rocky, so it's advisable to climb in proper trekking shoes.Written 16 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- emanmahmoud1Newport, UK323 contributionsWe were taken to this step well by our G Adventure tour guide. Incredible gasping scene when your eyes first fall on it. Well worth the visit.Written 27 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dirk WAlexandra Headland, Australia10,151 contributionsChitrashala, or Ummed Mahal is a part of Garh Palace and it is probably in the best condition. Deservedly so, because it contains the famous painting room. All its walls and ceilings are covered in fabulous frescoes, illustrating court scenes or images out of Krishna's life in brilliant blue and green. They are in remarkably good state, but totally exposed, so I fear for their safety and protection.
The royal family still owns the fort and they open only a small part for public viewing. If you know in advance, you can arrange a visit to other parts, including Hathia Pol and the Bada Mahal (where rare Mongol/Asian paintings can be seen).Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Dating back to 1699, it is 46m deep and has beautifully carved pillars and a high arched gate. Lots of carved elephants. Not many people there during our visit and there are some safety issues (slippery, broken tiles and no railing). Unlike other stepwells, this one is reasonably well maintained.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dirk WAlexandra Headland, Australia10,151 contributionsDhabhai Kund, together with Ranji ki Baori, is the best stepwell in Bundi. Bundi is not exactly a main tourist priority, so even here maintenance and conservation could be a lot better. The omnipresent pigeons leave their droppings all over the place and the water is green and polluted. That is a pity, because it is a grand structure and should be cared for.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dirk WAlexandra Headland, Australia10,151 contributionsA small summer palace for the local ruler and got some exposure because Rudyard Kipling spent a couple of days there writing Kim. In the upstairs gallery there are some black/white photographs of Kipling and underneath a small museum.

So he built this pretty 84-Pillared Cenotaph in her honor. All in white marble, it holds four chattri placed on the 4 corners, a large Shiva Linga in the centre and really nice carvings around the base. All set in a nice little garden and worth an hour to take some pictures.Written 24 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ghoomboomNew Delhi, India104 contributionsIt is inside the Garh Palace and near to the Ratan palace. This was Diwan-e-Aam of the Bundi state where State guests were entertained. On the roof top of this palace, there are Phool Mahal and Badal Mahal that were like Harems and used by the queens. There is a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. Our guide also showed us the Bedroom of the king with rich paintings of Golden work. The place where king used to entertain his guests also has a secret tunnel to escape. Do take a guide to know and understand about the palace. I would recommend Kukki.Written 2 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ghoomboomNew Delhi, India104 contributionsShikar Burj is the hunting place for the kings of Bundi. Lot of monkeys around so you can only see it while staying inside you vehicle. In fact Chitrashala in the Taragarh Fort has a painting of Shikar Burj that is exactly the same as the structure so do take a picture of the painting in Chtrashala and see it when you actually visit Shikar Burj. There is a pond on the front side where tigers would come to drink water and the king, hidden inside the burj, would shoot it. (That is how it is shown in the painting). This place is not very far from Sukh Mahal and Jait Sagar lake so do visit this place just after visiting Sukh Mahal. No tickets.Written 2 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pawan_ShrotriaNepalgunj, Nepal77 contributionsNice place to visit. There were not many tourists when we visited so it was more pleasant. It is not as crowded as other many forts in Rjasthan. Bundi itself is a peaceful city though.Written 15 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ghoomboomNew Delhi, India104 contributionsThis Mahal is in the Garh Palace inside the Taragarh Fort. In fact, there are two palaces and this one is on the upper storey. Both were used by Queens of Bundi state (Harem). The palace room is locked but can be accessed by asking the man on duty to open it. A small one room Mahal, this houses exquisite paintings. On the ceiling, there are paintings of ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu of Indian Mythology. Some of the wall paintings have Mongolian influence. A couple of paintings are erotic in nature which your guide would tell. Do visit if you are inside the Garh Palace.Written 2 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
