Bundi's historic watchtower with a view

Shikar Burj in Bundi is a stunning watchtower that towers majestically over its city and offers panoramic views.

Visitors should make time for Shikar Burj when touring Bundi as this breathtaking structure makes an impressionable statement about its city of origin and rich cultural history.

A cultural legacy found within ancient walls

Shikar Burj, once belonging to the imperial city of Bundi's royal family, can be found nestled within its sprawling forests near Sukh Mahal in Bundi.
