RANTHAMBORE FORT: The Ranthambore Fort is located at the top of a rocky outcrop in the middle of the forest, which almost literally marks the meeting of the Aravalli and Vindhya hills ranges. It is one of the oldest forts in the country and is said to have been built in 944 AD a Chauhan warrior. Due to its location and structure, it is considered to have been one of the most difficult forts to overthrow. It repulsed attempts by great warriors such as Aladdin Khilji, Kuttab-ud-din, Firoz Tughlaq, Bahadur Shah of Gujarat. The most successful ruler of this fort is known to have been Rao Hammirin the 11th century. The interiors of the fort are also stunning.
