We all know about the great wall of China, but did you know about the second-largest wall?

Probably not, then let's find out. 

Kumbhalgarh Fort is built on a hilltop in Udaipur, Rajasthan. This fort was built by Rana Kumbha in the 15th century to protect his kingdom.

The whole fort is outstanding, but the wall which protects this fort makes it unique. This wall is 3600ft tall, and 38km long, surrounds the area of Udaipur. This wall is recorded as the world's second-largest wall after the Great wall of China.

Kumbhalgarh fort was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 2013, under the group hill fort in Rajasthan. 

This fort is included in the largest fort complexes in the world. This fort is also India's second-largest fort after Chittor fort.

Kumbhalgarh fort is built in a way that it is impossible to cross the wall because after witnessing so many wars, this fort still serves as the unbreakable boundary created by Rana Kumbha.

Let me tell you a quick story about this fort:

     When Rana Kumbha started the construction, everything was going according to his plan, but the wall was destroyed the next day after it was contracted. He calls Santa Maharaj, who advises him to find someone willing to die for this wall. As a king, he thought it's not right to do that, so he told Santa Maharaj to find some other solution, but the Santa Maharaj agreed to sacrifice himself for the future. After the Santa Maharaj dies, the King builds their temple in the fort, and the construction of a wall is finally completed.
