Bala Quila (Alwar Fort)
Massive hilltop fort offering sweeping views across Alwar and the Aravallis — a must-visit for history and panoramas.
About Alwar
Alwar sits in the lap of the Aravalli hills and blends natural beauty with royal architecture. The city is famous for the hilltop Bala Quila (Alwar Fort), serene lakes like Siliserh, ornate chhatris such as Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri, and access to Sariska Tiger Reserve — a compact yet biodiverse sanctuary where tigers, leopards and deer roam. Alwar’s old bazaars and palaces reflect a quieter, green side of Rajasthan that’s ideal for relaxed exploration and photography.
Travelers often pair Alwar with a wildlife safari in Sariska, boat rides on Siliserh Lake, and short visits to city museums and chhatris. It’s a strong weekend option from Udaipur when you want a mix of nature, heritage and scenic views.
