He meant to say those who tried to spend night in the fort.

Nice place for a visit scilent killer. Did you guys visit Kankwari Fort by any chance?



Satyen, the old Aravali range holds a lot of promise for a visitor though even in peak winter, the place can give you hot afternoons. Alwar region has a lot to offer. Alwar Fort, Siliserh lake, Sariska National Park, Kali Ghati and Kankwari Fort where Aurangzed imprisoned his brother Dara Shikoh, Pandupol Temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the temple town of Neelkanth apart from the City Palace and Museum at Alwar that holds such intriguing items as a dining table made of solid silver and a 73 mtr long scroll depicting the Mahabharata in all its splendour.

Don't be surprised if I say I didn't need wiki for knowing all this. Did a well researched feature for a couple of travel magazines long back when I used to do such articles. This is what I wrote for Bhangarh then:

"Some 55km from Alwar and on the outskirts of the sanctuary lies the ghost town of Bhangarh. Established in 1631 by Madho Singh, the brother of Man Singh, then a General in Akbar's army, it was a city of some 10,000 dwellings in its heyday. Some 300 years ago, supposedly after it was cursed by a magician, it was abandoned. The gloom of emptiness seeps within as I hear only the faint rustling of dry leaves flitting across what appears to be a bustling market street once, carried on their wild whirling journey by a little dust-devil. The stillness of abandonment and that of death appears the same. Silent."

I would recommend the area for a thorough look-see any day....but make sure you make that day in winters .
