The Hill
Fort, Kesroli, sited atop the rare, dark
Hornstone Breccia rocks, commands splendid
agrarian views from its ramparts which rise to
50-65 meters/ 150-200 feet. Kesroli Fort makes
an ideal base to visit the neighbouring
palaces, museums and sanctuaries of Alwar &
Sariska. The origins of the seven-turreted
Hill Fort Kesroli are traced back to over six
centuries. It is reputed to have been built by
the Yaduvanshi Rajputs, descendants of Lord
Krishna, who converted to Islam in the
mid-14th century to be called Khanzadas. It
subsequently changed hands, being conquered by
the Mughals and the Jats before reverting to
the Rajputs in 1775 when the princely state of
Alwar was founded. It saw its golden period
under the Ranawat Thakur Bhawani Singh
(1882-1934), renowned for his equestrian
skills.
