Why did we choose Udaipur & Chittorgarh?

The Sisodia clan of Rajputs ruled Mewar and Chittorgarh was initially their capital. It was eventually shifted to Udaipur by Maharana Udai Singh. The Kingdom of Mewar became part of Rajasthan in independent India. Apart from its historical relevance, Udaipur has emerged as a popular tourist destination known for its Rajput- era palaces, especially the marvelous Lake Palace that occupies an entire island on the lake.

What does this journey offer?

This journey covers the history of the Kingdom of Mewar and most significantly, the story of Maharana Pratap – the man who made Rajput clan synonymous with bravery. Students visit the famed Haldighati Battleground where Maharana Pratap stood up to the numerically and technologically superior Mughal army. The Haldighati Museum offers them a unique opportunity to relive the battle. Lastly, Udaipur’s Lake Palace and other forts offer a marvelous lesson in Rajput architecture.
