点评:A wonderful fort for a day's sightseeing tour from Bhopal. An hour's drive brings you to the base of the fort, from where it's about a 2 hour walk through the ramparts. When you leave the NH coming from Bhopal towards Raisen, watch for an unmarked concrete road to the left. Take the left turn at the T point, which says 4 wheelers to the left, pedestrians to the right. The left path takes you to the Haathi gate, the right to the Chopra gate. Not much parking space at the base of the outer gate. The walk up the two gates of the fort is steep. Take sufficient water and a hat / cap as the walk can be tiring, considering the season. Do not attempt in peak summer. The main areas of the fort are about a km away from the Haathi gate, which was used by chariots and horses' entry. There is a guest house enroute, which used to house visitors to the fort. There is a Kings palace (was closed for renovation), a Queen's palace, a bath pond, Dhobi Mahal and an Itrdaan (building with acoustic characteristics, walls that transmit whispers to the other side of the building). Cannons are seen atop the fort, one even having an iron ball stuck in it's muzzle. The view from the cannon pedestal of the Raisen town below and beyond is fabulous. There is a clay and fruit paste making stone with a circular ring where bullocks were used to grind the paste, used as mortar to stick the stone pieces together. Although the fort is under the upkeep of ASI, more effort and funds seem necessary to make this natural fortification of a cliff an amazing tourist spot.
翻译:这座美妙的堡垒适合从博帕尔出发进行一日观光旅游。开车一小时即可到达堡垒底部,从那里步行穿过城墙约 2 小时即可到达。离开 NH 从博帕尔前往 Raisen 时,注意左侧没有标记的混凝土路。在 T 点左转,上面写着左侧为四轮车,右侧为行人。左侧道路可通往 Haathi 门,右侧道路可通往 Chopra 门。外门底部没有太多停车位。走上堡垒的两道门很陡峭。带上足够的水和帽子,因为考虑到这个季节,步行可能会很累。不要在夏季高峰期尝试。堡垒的主要区域距离 Haathi 门约一公里,该门是战车和马匹入口。途中有一间宾馆,以前是堡垒游客的住所。这里有一个国王宫殿(因翻修而关闭)、一个王后宫殿、一个浴池、Dhobi Mahal 和 Itrdaan(具有声学特性的建筑,墙壁可以将低语传到建筑的另一侧)。堡垒顶部可以看到大炮,其中一门炮口甚至还嵌有一颗铁球。从大炮基座上俯瞰下方和远处的 Raisen 镇,景色美不胜收。这里有一块用粘土和水果泥制作的石头,上面有一个圆形环,牛群会将泥浆磨碎,用作将石块粘在一起的砂浆。尽管这座堡垒由 ASI 负责维护,但似乎还需要更多的努力和资金才能将这座悬崖的天然防御工事打造成一个令人惊叹的旅游景点。
