HaldiGhati – A Glimpse into History:
Our journey begins with a visit to HaldiGhati, a place steeped in historical significance. Located in the Aravalli Range, HaldiGhati is renowned for the Battle of HaldiGhati fought in 1576 between Maharana Pratap and the Mughal Emperor Akbar. As you walk through the picturesque landscapes, imagine the valiant efforts of Maharana Pratap and his loyal soldiers.
The name ‘HaldiGhati’ (Turmeric Valley) is derived from the yellow color of the soil resembling turmeric. The serene surroundings and the historic Kumbhalgarh Fort nearby add to the allure of this place. Capture the essence of the past as you explore the museum that houses artifacts from the battle, including weapons, armor, and paintings depicting the heroism of Maharana Pratap.
Udaipur – The City of Lakes:
After immersing ourselves in history at HaldiGhati, our journey continues to the enchanting city of Udaipur, famously known as the ‘City of Lakes.’ Nestled in the Aravalli Range, Udaipur is a treasure trove of architectural marvels, vibrant markets, and serene lakes.
