ACHALGARH FORT
The ruins of this 15th -century fort, built by the warrior king,
Rana Kumbha, who conquered Mount Abu from
its Chauhan rulers, lie 5 miles from Mount Abu. This was one of
a girdle of thirty-two forts that he constructed all over Mewar
in order to secure the kingdom against invaders. From its
crumbling battlements there is a superb view of the surrounding
plains. Nearby are the remains of several ancient temples. Of
these, the most interesting is the 15th -century temple of Lord
Shiva, where you are shown what is said to be Lord Shiva's ,
toenail. It is unusual for a Shiva temple, as it does not have a
characteristic Shivalinga; instead there is a deep pit that is
believed to lead straight down into the underworld. The peak of
Guru Shikahar, the highest point in Rajasthan, at an altitude of
5,676 feet, lies 2 ½ miles beyond Achalgarh. There are more
dramatic views of the surrounding countryside from here, of
wooded hills, waterfalls and the plains.
