Lohagarh Fort
Lohagarh Fort, also known as the Iron Fort, is a must-visit attraction in Bharatpur and is esteemed as one of the most robust structures in Rajasthan.

The fort exudes a sense of austerity and grandeur, captivating hundreds of tourists who visit its premises every year. Surrounding the fort is a moat that was once filled with water to fortify its defences against enemies.
