Alwar Travel Guide
150km from Jaipur and 170km from Delhi,
Alwar is nestled between a cluster of small hills of the Aravali range. Perched
on the most prominent of these hills is a massive ancient fort that whispers tales
of the rich history of the city.
Once an ancient Rajput state, formerly
known as Mewar, Alwar was nearest to the Imperial Delhi. The people of the state
did not accept any external interference and daringly resisted against foreign
invasions.
 In
the 12th and 13th centuries they formed a group and raided Delhi. But finally
Sultan Balban (1276-A.D.- 1287a.D.) suppressed them, bringing the area under the
a Muslim rule.
In 1771 A.D. Maharaja Pratap Singh, a Kuchhwaha Rajput
belonging to the clan of Jaipur's rulers, won back Alwar and founded a principality
of his own.
Apart from its long history, the city has a rich natural heritage
with some beautiful lakes and picturesque valley thickly wooded in parts.
Some
of the finest variety of birds and animals are spotted here. Alwar has one of
the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Rajasthan - Sariska, which is an excellent
tiger country.
