The Great Wall of India

Almost everyone knows about the Great Wall of China, but there are very few people who know about the "Great Wall of India." This is a 22.4 mile-long wall, the second largest in the world. It surrounds the Kumbhalgarh Fort in the state of Rajasthan in India.
The fort was built in the fifteenth century by Rana Kumbha. The wall surrounding the fort is approximately 16 feet thick, and according to a historical account, eight horses could run on the wall alongside each other. The wall is majestic as it winds through valleys and mountaintops like a snake.
The fort is situated far from the city, and the remoteness and the sprawling beauty of the ancient monument add to the fort's attraction. Every day, thousands of visitors flock to the site, as the rich history of the fort draws tourists from all over the world like bees to flowers.
