150km
from Jaipur and 170km from Delhi, Alwar is nestled between a cluster of
small hills of the Aravali range. Perched on the most prominent of these
hills is a massive ancient fort that whispers tales of the rich history
of the city.
Once an ancient Rajput state, formerly known as Mewar, Alwar was nearest
to the Imperial Delhi. The people of the state did not accept any external
interference and daringly resisted against foreign invasions.
In the 12th and 13th centuries they formed a group and raided Delhi. But
finally Sultan Balban (1276-A.D.- 1287a.D.) suppressed them, bringing
the area under the a Muslim rule. In 1771 A.D. Maharaja Pratap Singh,
a Kuchhwaha Rajput belonging to the clan of Jaipur's rulers, won back
Alwar and founded a principality of his own. Apart from its long history,
the city has a rich natural heritage with some beautiful lakes and picturesque
valley thickly wooded in parts.
Some of the finest variety of birds and animals are spotted here. Alwar
has one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Rajasthan - Sariska, which
is an excellent tiger country.
