Sightseeing in Rajasthan picture - with a view of Chittor in the background. The massive 700 acre fort is sprawled atop a rocky plateau in the Aravali Hills, 500 feet above the surrounding region. The sheer vastness of the fort is nothing short of breathtaking. Within its 700 acres lived 75,000 people including soldiers. The hilltop location offered a commanding, strategic position, & its almost impregnable walls are 5.5km in length & less than a kilometer apart at the widest point.
