Overview
Bundi is a small sleepy town located in southern Rajasthan and is known for its palaces, intricately designed step wells and water tanks. The history of Bundi is pretty interesting. In 1192 A.D Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Muhammad Ghori in the second battle of Tarain. The Chauhans were thus forced to flee. Some of them fled to the neighboring state of Mewar, with whom they formed an alliance.
Most of the others proceeded towards the Chambal Valley where, after overpowering the local chiefs, they established the two states of Kota and Bundi on the opposite banks of the Chambal River. Being a sleepy town does not in any way decrease its splendor and there are numerous places worth visiting.

The fort is an exceptional blend of Oriental and European Architecture and is studded with palaces and gardens.
Nawal Lake is one of the most picturesque spot in Bundi. At the center of the lake lies the half submerged Varun Temple. The lake almost magically reflects the whole city. Sukh Mahal is the summer palace located on the Sukh Sagar Lake and is surrounded with beautiful gardens.
