BHANGARH FORT: EXPERIENCE A COOLEST HORROR
The place is said to be haunted, filled with several spooky stories, and known for its greatest unsolved mystery. It is undoubtedly a point of attraction for backpackers who want to go back home with some blood-curdling tales. It is imperative to jot this place named ‘Bhangarh Fort’ in your travel diary and collect an amazing set of memories tagged as suspense and thriller.
Bhangarh Fort is one of the most haunted places in India, and perhaps a perfect spot for inquisitive travellers. A visitor would probably share the experience and give a long, exciting recital of all the feelings if he or she has been there.
BHANGARH FORT: NOT FOR KIDS
Bhangrah Fort Alwar
Bhangarh Fort may be a travel destination exclusively for you if you think you are mature enough to digest some realistic haunted stories and can go to sleep that night with calmness. Tourists especially a group of bachelors from different parts of the country frequently travel to Bhangarh Fort with a high dose of adrenaline and excitement.
Bearing in mind the memoirs of Bhangarh Fort, you can actually feel a real presence of you inside the Fort. I recommend you to go with some great buddies so you will not have to worry about costs as well as your discussions about this destination may be more fascinating.
About My Experience?
Once I went through all the pictures I captured during my visit to Bhangarh Fort and took a stroll down memory lane, I recall that night of the trip in which few of my pals did not get a proper sleep in their hostel rooms. It ain’t HHOK.
BHANGARH: A REAL HORROR
Curious travellers come to Bhangarh Fort with the expectation of spending a couple of thrilling hours inside the Fort while some go back sadly because of not getting to the extent of thrill.
While stepping down the surroundings of the fort, you might recall the haunted stories associated with the Bhangarh Fort and realize the things in a realistic way. A series of unattractive walls, a bunch of filthy trees, a row of ravaged gates at the entrance and a number of piles of stones may make you frighten. A scene of desolation can scare you to an extent and make your blood run cold.
In case, you start some heavy discussions in a group inside the Bhangarh Fort, your level of unconsciousness may rise and continue for a long awakening at night.
Reader’s Note: For a great reading experience, arrange 15 minutes to go through each & every points mentioned here. It takes 20 minutes for an average reader.
A REAL EXPERIENCE OF BHANGARH FORT BY ASHIMA KAUSHIK
It was a bright sunny chilly morning when we decided to fasten our seat belts and leave for one of the most adventurous trips of our lives. Our status said ‘Enroute Bhangarh’. As we moved towards the Fort, the entire aura around us started and sending chills down our spine as we saw the huge ruins of the fort right in front of our eyes.
The shadow of the sky reflected on the lake aside and chirping of birds sounded as if each of them is trying to tell us that something was around us that we could see. Each wall looked as if it was carrying its own story behind it, walking through the barren lands of the fort has given me goose bumps.
In spite knowing the fact that I had so many of my friends around me and I still felt cold and alone there. Truly, it was a life time experience at Bhangarh Fort, a place where silence has its own voice.
WELCOME TO THE HOME OF GHOSTS
Bhangarh Fort Entrance
Bhangarh is a mysterious village, situated in Alwar district in the state of Rajasthan. The Bhangarh Fort is located at the edge of the Sariska Tiger Reserve, a popular national park in India. The village is a site of attraction only because of 17th century fort otherwise nothing exciting there.
Bhangarh Fort was built by Man Singh who was an honest general of the Mughal emperor Akbar and was one of the nine gems of Akbar’s royal court also. Man Singh got the fort built for his younger brother Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh I, a ruler of Jaipur in the period between 1750 and 1768.
Bhangarh Fort was named by Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh after his grandfather whose name was ‘Bhan Singh’.
WORLD’S TOP HAUNTED PLACE
Bhangarh Fort Temple
Believe me, Bhangarh Fort is the only place in India which is ‘Legally Haunted’. According to Smashing Lists, Bhangarh Fort is featured in ‘Top Most Haunted Places in the World’ and moved to 4th place on the list.
A required number of prohibitions have been set by Archaeological Survey of India, an Indian government agency attached to the Ministry of Culture.
WHAT HAS HAPPENED? – FEW WORDS FROM HISTORY
Locals claim the Bhangarh Fort as a place of paranormal activities. Creepy sounds and weird frightening movements have been noticed by many people.
The story behind the Fort is associated with a Tantrik (a person who was involved in black magic) named ‘Sindhu Sevda’ who has fallen in love with a gorgeous princess ‘Ratnawati’.
At her age of 18, she was receiving a good number of marriage proposals. Sevda’s desire to marry her was not going to fulfill so he started using some inappropriate tricks to win her over.
THE STORY OF PRINCESS & TANTRIK
He secretly added a kind of magic charm to her Ittra (perfume) in order to take a control over her mind but she got to know about his plan from one of her informer. She threw the perfume on a rock nearby and the bottle of the perfume rolled down towards Sevda Sindhu and he got killed from that bottle only.
Before dying he cursed the village that Bhangarh would be destroyed soon. After few days of his death, a war happened between Ajabgarh and Bhangarh.
All the people residing in the fort died in the war. After such a big massacre, it had been believed that Bhangarh Fort is having ghosts of the people died in it.
Bhangarh Fort is rumoured to be haunted because of connected several spooky stories but some people ignore these rumours and jotted the real story.
The story is that Ajabgarh & Bhangarh shared a great animosity and destroyed each other with the destruction of both the cities. Only Ajabgarh got rehabilitated while people in Bhangarh did not survive with the scarcity of food and water. Few who survived left the town.
BEST TIME TO VISIT BHANGARH FORT: MY RECOMMENDATION
October to middle February is the best pleasant time to explore the town. Low humidity makes travelling comfortable and it is perfectly true if you are planning to explore Bhangarh Fort as it is situated in one of the hottest state in India.
Keep adequate amount of drinking water with you while strolling into the fort to keep yourself hydrated in the high temperature.

Note About Bhangarh!
Whatever the story or the legend says about the mysterious fort, we want you to explore the fort, listen and experience what actually it is to be in around the fort! However return before the sunset!!
Remember
“The fort is now a great tourist attraction and it does attract hordes of tourists & travellers during the day, but for all the wrong reasons. Local people would have you believe that no one dares to build a house with a roof in the vicinity of the fort. The roof collapses shortly after being built” . Would you just believe the stories or would like to experience the shared above?

It’s a great place to visit.I love traveling and trekking a lot. Would like to recommend other readers too to visit this place. Go with your family or friends and enjoy a lot. But do take your traveling accessories like camera, backpack, if you are fond of hiking, trekking then take your traveling accessories too. You can buy it on decathlon as I believe they sell one of the best products for hiking and sports at an affordable price compared to another seller.
or if your trip is just for one time then I would recommend you to go for rent rather than buying those products would like to recommend you guys to try RentSher(https://goo.gl/fXLu3c) as they provide a wide range of traveling gear at an affordable price along with delivery and pickup facility @Bangalore.

Bhangarh Fort Travel Guide | is it Haunted? Piyush’s Experience With Bhangrah Fort
Bhangarh Fort is one of the most popular and mysterious forts of India. It is located in the state of Rajasthan and is said to be haunted. It has been declared as a prohibited area by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI).
I was excited to visit this haunted fort, as I have heard many stories about it. I decided to visit it during a weekend. The fort is located in a small village and has few shops and tea stalls around it. The entry to the fort is through a narrow gate.
As soon as I entered the fort, I felt chills down my spine. The fort was deserted and it was quite eerie. I started exploring the fort and noticed that some parts were well maintained while some parts were in ruins. I also noticed some strange symbols and inscriptions on the walls.
I continued exploring the fort and suddenly I heard some strange noises. I was scared and ran back to the gate. I was relieved when I saw a few other people around the gate. I asked them about the noises and they said that it was just the wind. I was still scared and decided to leave the fort.
My experience of visiting Bhangarh Fort was quite interesting. Though I was scared, I would definitely recommend it to others who are brave enough to explore this mysterious fort.
Thank you so much for sharing this blog, Bhangarh Fort Travel Guide!
Bhangarh Fort is a 17th-century fort located in the Alwar district of Rajasthan, India. It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its remarkable architecture and intricate carvings. The fort is believed to be cursed, and it is a popular spot for ghost stories.
History
The fort was constructed by Bhagwant Das, a Rajput nobleman, in the year 1631. He built the fort to protect the kingdom from the Mughals. In 1720, Madho Singh, the younger brother of Bhagwant Das, took control of the fort. Under his rule, Bhangarh flourished and the population increased significantly.
In 1783, the fort was attacked by Marathas and was damaged. It was never rebuilt. In 1803, the fort was abandoned due to the lack of resources. Over the years, the fort has been decaying and is now!
