Built in 1573 by Raja Bhagwant Das, this 17th-century abandoned city is famous as India's most haunted ruin.
Bhangarh Fort was completely abandoned by the 18th century. Local legends point to dark curses, while historians cite a 1783 famine. Today, the Archaeological Survey of India strictly prohibits entering the site before sunrise or after sunset.
The fort lies about 85 kilometers from Jaipur, within the buffer zone of the Sariska Tiger Reserve. Entry costs ₹25 for Indian nationals and ₹200 to ₹300 for foreign visitors.
