Fort Madhogarh Hotel With A Legend !!!
This colonial building of Fort Madhogarh is believed to have been built in
the 17th century or even earlier. According to a Canadian geologist 'Thomas
Iannelli', while enjoying the Rajput-hospitality, found time to delve deeper
into the rocky surface. He consider that this fort sits on
two-billion-year-old sequence of quartzite (Hard Rock) and schist (Soft
Rock) that were originally deposited in a shallow marine sea as layered muds
and sands. The Madhogarh fort entered the books of history, when Maharaja
Sawai Pratap Singh Ji choose to make this fort his headquarters in his
campaign against the Marathas. The decisive battle between the Rajputs and
the Marathas was fought in the plains of Tunga, just about 1 Km from
