Located at a distance of 6 kms from Bundi near to Sukh Mahal and to the north of Jait Sagar, Shikar Burj is actually an old but beautiful hunting cottage owned by the rulers of Bundi. Though the place is known to be once beautiful and grand, the access to this place is limited as it’s a private property.
The tourist attractions in Bundi include glorious medieval forts, temples, havelis and magnificent palaces. The tourists will love to visit Bundi because of its serene atmosphere and strikingly expressive landscape. Bundi is perfectly located at the foothills of a large hill with a splendid lake in the center of this beautiful city of Rajasthan.
The most impressive Taragarh Fort is the prime attraction in the city of Bundi. This fort was constructed in the 14th century. The visitors will find a large battlement (Bhim Burj) inside the fort. One will also see a cannon and a large reservoir. The reservoir was carved by a single piece of rock.
The Bundi Palace is another place of attraction, located in close proximity to the Taragarh Fort. One will see some exquisite murals that typify the glorious era of Indian royalty.
Bundi is also famous for its large number of age old step-wells (locally called baoris). The step-wells that have been maintained till today are the Nagar Sagar Kund, Raniji ki Baori, and Nawal Sagar.
One of the prominent tourist attractions is a temple of Lord Varuna (God of Rains), half submerged in the water of the Nawal Sagar lake. The visitors, who want to see that temple, must go by boat.
