Samode Fort
Samode Fort stands like a sentinel on a hill above the Samode Palace.
This used to be the raja's former residence, before Samode Palace
was built. Having being neglected for so long, it's in a pretty
bad shape now. But the climb is worth just for the views alone.
Ask the caretaker to open the gate if you want a peek inside the
dilapidated ramparts. The fort also has a secret underground passage
to it, which was used during times of emergency. Walking among the
ruins and the surroundings makes one feel as if one is in another
era. In fact, wherever you go in Samode, you'll find a glimpse of
the past, yet untouched by time.
Note:-
The walk into the Aravallis can be a tiring one, so remember to
wear good shoes and carry your own water.
