There is not a lot to see in Bundi apart from the fort built in 1354 and the associated palace was built gradually over the next 200 years. We entered through the Hathia Pol (Elephant Gate) after a long and very steep climb from the car park and entered the Ratan Daulat (Hall of Public Audience) which has a very fine marble throne. A small door took us into the Chattar Mahal with carvings of elephants at the tops of the columns, We then climbed up to the Chitrashala room where an official was lurking; he promised to show us the Badal Mahal (Palace of Clouds) through a locked door which looked magnificent on the internet but less so in real life. You could imagine that the wall paintings would be very beautiful if they were restored. They are unique in Rajasthan because the palace and fort are made of very hard stone which is difficult to carve unlike te ubiquitous red sandstone elsewhere. The cheeky sod demanded a £1 tip after it cost us £5 each to get into the palace. The palace was deserted when we were there but we were passed by large tour groups coming up as we came down. We stayed for about 90 minutes enjoying the palace while they stayed no more than 20..
