Chitradurga

Chitradurga is located in the state of Karnataka, India. It is a must visit place for a tourists, students, Historians, Adventure crazy people and the like. A visit chitradurga is incomplete if you do not visit the Fort and climb from bottom to top and visit all the interesting places in the Fort. First time you visit accompanied by a Guide, next time you better visit the Fort early in the morning and stay till evening. Get some food packed. You can buy water in the shop which sells small items in Fort.
