The Experience
Before You Go
Start early for cooler temps
Morning visits reduce heat exposure and bring crisper views; aim to arrive at opening if possible.

The fort has uneven stone steps and long ramparts—closed-toe shoes with tread make the tour safer and more comfortable.
Hydrate and carry cash
Bottled water is included but carry extra if you feel thirsty; small vendors may accept cash only.
Respect temple areas
Some inner temples are active worship sites—follow signage, remove shoes where required, and ask before photographing ceremonies.
