IF ONE wants to have all the peace of mind and is also not in a mood to spend much but, wants to go on a short trip then, for them the City of Forts, Alwar is the best place to visit. This small city in Rajasthan is just 160 kilometer away from Delhi.
During the British regime it was known as Ulwar but, was changed to Alwar with the change in the rule. This wonderful city promises you with a full time enjoyment and that too in less expense. Covered with the beautiful Aravalli Ranges from all its sides, Alwar can be said as the most exotic place which certainly fits in ones budget.
You can reach there by your own mode of transport or else can hire a taxi and if that too doesnt suit you then you can opt for the service of Northern Railways. Train, which is one of the fastest modes of transport, would take just three to 3 and 1/2 hours to reach Alwar but, if you are a person who wants all the luxury and has opted for Fairy Queen, a special train which runs between Delhi Cantonment and Alwar, then it would surely take a day or two of yours. This train has some fixed stations and will provide you with all the royal treatment that you cant even dream of. An advice is that prefer this train only if you have ample of time and you are not in a hurry.
This Kingdom of Rajputs has a well- working government but it still has a Maharaja, who is, Jitendra Pratap Singh. Many rulers from time to time have worked their best in developing the beauty of this city and have succeeded too in developing its enthralling scenic beauty. It has a tiger reserve which is famous as Sariska Tiger Reserve which reserves not only tigers but also leopard, hyena, sambhar, nilgai, chinkara, species of monkeys, peacocks and other birds too.
Monsoon season adds to the tranquility of the place. During monsoon, places like Adaa Pada, Taalvriksh, and Naldeshwar are at their best as natural waterfall can be seen over there, which looks heaven for your eyes. One can even go for trekking if you w! ant some adventure.
Other places worth visiting are Lal Diggi, Pandupol, Neemrana, Silliserh, Ajabgarh, Bhangarh, Bhartariji, each of them have a very deep history behind themselves. Certain temples and other tourist spot which one can explore are Sagar, which is surrounded by 12 chhatries or cenotaphs built of red marble slabs, behind it is the Moosi Maharanis Chhatri, built in the memory of Queen Moosi and close to both of them is the old Government Museum, which exhibits all the weapons that speaks about the bravery of the kings over there. The Alwar Fort, known as Bala Quila has six entrances to it and is standing erect. One would come across many Kunds, a source of water, found usually between the mountains which pertains the natural water in them and many peacocks, deers, monkeys, langoors doing all the mischievous things.
Once you go there, you might want to visit there again and enjoy the scenic beauty of the Gateway of Rajasthan, whose gates are always open for its tourists but, if you dont want to get burnt in the summer heat then prefer visiting there in monsoons or winters and enjoy the seasons.
