Kota

Once the capital of the Kota state, Kota is now the industrial centre of Rajasthan. Set along the east bank of the Chambal river, Kota is home to the hydroelectric power plants. At the centre of the town is the Tourist Office or Bungalow and a number of small hotels. On the southern side of the town is the Chambal Garden while to the north there is the Civil Lines.


Chambal Gardens are a famous picnic spot and have a pond well stocked with crocodiles. Upstream from the Chambal Gardens at Bhitariya Kund, there is a famous swimming spot in the clear waters of the Chambal river. The Kota Barrage acts as a control over the Chambal river’s waters and also feeds an irrigation canal system.

Adjancet to the gardens is the Kota Fort. The fort has two museums, namely the government museum and the Rao Madho Singh museum. Both this museum have a good collection of old items. Jag Mandir is another place of tourist interest in Kota. Located near the tourist bungalow this large tank has a building on a small island in the centre. In addition to tourist Bungalow there is a fine collection of royal tombs. Visit this charming town of Rajasthan and enjoy a good vacation alongwith your family.
