Timing and tips
Go in the morning or late afternoon to avoid heat, wear comfortable shoes because there are many steps, and carry water. There is usually an evening light-and-sound show, so check the schedule before you plan the return drive.
Combining it with Ranakpur
Ranakpur is on the way for many routes. Start with Ranakpur’s temples at the right visitor hours, then continue to Kumbhalgarh. See Ranakpur guide.
