The fort is absolutely amazing. It takes a lot of stamina to climb till the top, you can count it as an amazing exercise. You might just be able to view beautiful peacocks all around. The view from the fort is absolutely mesmerising as you can see the whole city. I just loved it. Gives royal feels literally. Do attend the sound and light show for more information
