Trip Start from
Gwalior Fort:
Gwalior Fort has to be the star tourist attraction of the city. The fort is so huge and holds so many places to visit that even 7 or 8 hours might not be enough to explore the Gwalior Fort to minute details. Though it is difficult to ascertain the exact construction timeline for this fort, but many inscriptions within its ramparts indicate that Gwalior fort existed even as early as 6th century. Perched on a hilltop and overlooking the glorious city of Gwalior, the fort has tourist attractions in every corner. Here are some that you should not miss:
Man Mandir Palace:
The first stop for any tourist is the Man Mandir Palace, which was built by Mansingh Tomar in the late 15th century. The vast chambers of this palace were once believed to have glittered with exquisite stones and tiles. Some remnants of those glory days still exist at the entrance of the palace.
Gujari Mahal:
This is a monument of love built by Man Singh Tomar for his queen of Gurjari descent, Mrignayani. There is a romantic tale associated with this monument. After the king had wooed Mrignayani, he granted her three wishes. So, Mrignayani asked for a separate palace that would have constant water supply from the River Rai. As a result, the grand Gujari Mahal was built. Today, the Gujari Palace has been converted into an archaeological museum and has many great relics that would enrich your trip experience.
Teli ka Mandir:
Built by the famous Pratihara emperor, Mihira Bhoja, it is a rectangular shaped monument that is a blend of the South and North Indian styles of architecture. Teli ka Mandir has a South Indian styled barrel vaulted roof and North Indian Nagari architecture inside. There are sculpted images of goddesses, flower decorations and even romantic couples inside the temple. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, Vishnu and other goddesses.
Sas-Bahu (or Sahastrabahu) Temple:
This is another masterpiece of architecture. Sas-Bahu temple was built in 1093 and is known for its fine carvings and overall architecture. There are two temples within the same structure, one goes by the name of Sas while the other is called Bahu. Thus the temple is named Sas Bahu. It is dedicated to Vishnu in his Padmanabha form.
Gopachal Hill:
Towards the southern part of Gwalior Fort, lies a series of rock cut Jain monuments. The height of these rock-cut monuments varies from 6 inches to 57 feet. The idol of Bhagwan Parsvanath in his padmasan posture is the most striking image here.

His last rites were performed at this site and later the mausoleum was built to keep his memory alive. The mausoleum bears Mughal style of architecture and there are beautiful gardens on all sides.
Scindia Chhatris:
