The Palace on Wheels - The adventure
by Garry Holloway | Published  31/03/2005 | Travel Logs
Chittorgarh
Back to the train and then on to Chittorgarh, which was a huge plateau walled fortress. It is most famous for a few mass suicides of women, rather like Masada. Except the women leapt onto a huge fire. Not a nice way to go.

It also was overrun with monkeys and had some leaning towers of Jain and Hindu monuments.
