The Best Experiences in Jhansi
Take a Walk Down History at Jhansi Fort
There is no other place to experience the glorious days of this legendary city than in Jhansi Fort. Located on top of Bangira Hill, the fort is the most famous landmark of Jhansi offering unparalleled views of the city.
Jhansi Fort was built in 1613 CE by Raja Bir Singh Deo and was once a stronghold of the Chandela Kings.
It was also the residence of the legendary queen Rani Lakshmi Bai when she fought against the British East India Company during the rebellion of 1857.
The fort witnessed the fiery battle between the queen and her army that lasted for two weeks.
Today, you can still see the grandeur of this historical landmark that sits on over 15 acres of land and designed following North Indian architecture.
Visit the Legendary Queen’s King
Rani Lakshmi Bai is known throughout India for her bravery after revolting against the British who forced her to retire after the death of her husband, King Gangadhar Rao.
The tomb of the king is located 2 kilometers away from Jhansi Fort and features two domed structures and a beautiful garden filled with flowers. This cenotaph is a great place to learn more about Jhansi’s history and pay respects to the king who worked towards enriching its culture through art and architecture.
