The Great Wall Of Kumbhalgarh Fort

Located in western India, Kumbhalgarh Fort is the second most important citadel after Chittorgarh in the Mewar region. The fort was built during the 15th century by Maharana Kumbha and is one of 32 forts built by the Rajput ruler of the Mewar kingdom.
The fort is surrounded by a perimeter wall that is an astounding 36 km long (22.3 miles), and varies in width from 15 to 25 feet. Historical accounts claim that eight horses could ride side by side over it. The massive wall at Kumbhalgarh took nearly a century to construct and made the fort virtually impregnable.
