About Badnore Fort
A seven-storey fort on a hill at Badnore, 70 km north-west of Bhilwara, once a Rathore jagir of Mewar; Rao Jaimal, who died defending Chittor against Akbar in 1568, was from here. The fort is in fair condition and mostly empty, with the village at its foot and a few tanks and small temples around. For fort people making a loop of Bhilwara district rather than a destination in itself.
