Fort Madhogarh, located 50 km east of Jaipur, was built to provide early warning to the Rajputs of approaching armies from the east. In 1787 the Maratha Empire attacked with 35,000 men. The Rajputs mustered 30,000 men to defend against the siege, known as the Battle of Laisot. Today, the fort operates as a hotel. We were fortunate to spend a night and meet the King himself.
