Beautiful fort with around 200 steps to climb, carry water as there is no water at the top of the water. Fort has small temple at midway. The view of the city from the top of the fort is mesmerizing. Great place to click photographs.

This fort is built at the top of a rock. It has a nice vantage point to see the view of the city. The ruins tell a story. Interesting place for history lovers. One time visit.

Also knows as Madan Mahal Fort. Amazing city view from the top of the fort. Im sure that once every citizen must have come here at least.The fort dates back to 11th century AD. The Rajgond rulers reigned over Jabalpur, Mandla and surrounding regions. Madan Mahal is one such fort built by them.Therere many myths floating about the fort of the Gonds. It is said to harbor gold bricks and Gond treasures hidden somewhere in it in accessible underground folds.A tunnel covering a long distance is said to be located somewhere around the precinct, a possible escape route and transportation artery of the Gonds.

One need to trek around 200-250 stairs to the Fort ... The view is decent like any other fort. It seems a good hangout place for locals.

Madan Mahal is a suburban area of Jabalpur famous for the historical Durgawati fort. The area also has a railway station named Madan Mahal. Situated atop a hill in Jabalpur town is a small but enchanting fort of the Rajgond rulers. It was more of a manned post on vigil for invaders now enveloped in shroud of history.

Worlds Smallest Fort is Madan Mahal situated in Jabalpur, This fort own by Rani Durgavati, the fort is 1000 year Old

The Fort is near the spot Balancing Rock. Like all other fort you have to reach on top climbing 200 plus stairs. Midway there is a temple and a tiny lake make the journey enjoyable. From the top a large part of the city is visible and looks beautiful. Due to absence of caretaker we were unable to go inside as it was under lock. The place is not maintained well by the authority. No entry fee is there.

Should visit if you are there in jabalpur..Must visit placeDo visit in rainy seasonGood for photography purpose

Its very small two storey structure built on a boulder thats impressive and the rest of the ruins are on the ground and its not really a palace or fort.location is fantastic in the middle of boulder park which is unique and green landscape view of the city is good from the top of the ruins.

Good place. Especially at winter sunset time. Else would be too hot. Total area is surrounded by hard granite or sand stone.Scenic beauty is very good. Very enjoying place for selfie lovers.There are steps to reach the fort. Also there is another way on backside of the hill through a dargah. Adventure lovers can reach the fort by trecking using that way. But both the ways are a bit tedious & hard for weak & aged tourists. No entry fees.

Rani durgawati and madan mahal fort are same.. Fort is situated on the top with lush greenery..

Nice Fort on small jungle mountain.

Ver nice palce to be visited with your family and friends

Place with a lot of history

Small space, small fort, good in management and cleanliness. Known as Rani durgawati quila. Good for once visit.

Beautiful place in Jabalpur...

Beautiful historical place. It was extremely unaccessible in its time. It is became ruins.

The fort is very small and also situated at very high elevation. to reach the fort, you have to go through with 300 stairs approx.i would like to give advisory to the senior citizen and heart patients too. There is nothing special which you can miss. But yes, from here, you can see the entire city around and can feel continuously flowing wind which may please your 💓.

Good place to visit in day time only.You will get a nice view of the city from the fort.

Small place but nice

Under the brightly lit moon, 100 feet tall mountains of marble change forms as the river Narmada passes through it. This view is so scenic that it stays with you for long. But this is just one of the many gifts that Jabalpur offers.Here you will enjoy the privilege to experience surreal spectacles of nature romance mans endeavours to carefully preserve the breath-taking imperial history. No wonder it has been a witness to some of the greatest episodes written by history, folklore and mother nature.Jabalpur is sure to amaze you, whichever direction you turn to, reminiscent of your trips to fun-fairs as a child.

Wonderful, you would feel proud to see this historical place, Fort of Rani Durgawati

Its an amazing place to visit during rainy and winter season. You can see the whole jabalpur from here

Small Mahal on large rock. its very interesting to se how the engineering done.

From this fort whole jabalpur is seen!!

Nice place....u can go with ur frnds or cousins here... nothing much here...but still a peaceful place

Nice old place. Located very close to Balancing Rock. You need to climb about 200 stairs to reach the fort. The fort is in ruins but it is worth visiting once.

From this place one can get the birds eye view of the city of Jabalpur. The stairs to the top of the fort start just after the famous balancing rock. While going atop everyone visits one small Shiva Temple located midway. The stairs are not much, it took 10 mins to reach top of the fort. There is no maintenance of the fort. Nowadays this historical place has become more of a couple picnic spot. Can be visited once.

Fort of Rani Durgabati. Beautiful place but not maintaining properly.

Nice 👍 gondwana tample jabalpur

Place is historical monuments but it is not well maintained. As well as there is no guide or any displayboard/book for information about the fort history. Our monuments should be preserved.

Greenery ☘️🍃Trekking spotAmazing view from the top

Historical beautiful fort

Historical place, utterly in ruin except, it is on hill, surrounded with rock .balancing rock is use to prepare mahal (palace).

Madan Mahal Fort😍Follow My Page On Instagram @jabalpur_junction

Situated atop a hill in Jabalpur city is a small but enchanting fort of the Rajgond rulers. It was more of a manned post on vigil for invaders now enveloped in shroud of history. The fort dates back to 11th century AD. The fort is well associated with Rani Durgavati the Gond Queen and her son Veer Narayan. Rani Durgavati eventually died fighting the mughals and is hailed as a martyr in Indian history. She also built numerous temples and tanks scattered around Jabalpur chiefly around her Garha principality.[2]The Rajgond rulers reigned over Jabalpur, Mandla and surrounding regions. Madan Mahal is one such fort built by them. Though not exactly an architectural marvel, the little fort is characterized by intrigue of ancient monuments in India.[3]The structure generates an aura of awe being compact and yet fully equipped for martial encounters. The stable, war rooms, small reservoir and main pleasure chamber of the rulers offer visitors much to see and admire.[4]The monument is situated at a height of about five hundred meters on the hill of same name. The Balancing Rock is a huge stone balanced on the tip of another. It is a geological wonder on the way to the fort.There are many myths floating about the fort of the Gonds. It is said to harbor gold bricks and Gond treasures hidden somewhere in it in accessible underground folds. A tunnel covering a long distance is said to be located somewhere around the precinct - a possible escape route and transportation artery of the Gonds.

A great piece of history, sadly neglected by people. Wish it was better maintained. Fort is occupied by anti social elements. Dire need of upkeep.

* Very nice and peaceful place.* Must visit.

Marvel of our rich cultural heritage. The view is breath taking, you see have a panaromic view of the entire Jabalpur city; As a fort is meant to be guarding from all sides. The big boulders aka Jabal takes it truest destiny here.Sadly very understated, and in need of a good narrative to make the visit a memorable one.The area us under world heritage, now with all encroachments being pulled down, hopefully in a year or so it will be even more tourist friendly and scenic.

Natural beauty with plenty of trees and serene atmosphere.

This is a beautiful Fort

Not well maintained by MP Archaeological Survey Department .

Great historical place with Amazing views. Very serene and peaceful.

Such a nice place.But not maintained by the govt.properly.

A crowd free historical place!! Nice one! A Shiva & Parvati temple is also situated on the way to the fort!

Best place to visit in monsoon 😍

Historical fort of Rani Durgavati build with the support of a great rock.Situated on a hilltop is a worth place to visit.the ruins of the fort can be seen.But the most important thing is from top you can enjoy the beautiful view of jabalpur city.

A small fort (watch tower) situated in Madan Mahal, just besides the popular local attraction Balancing Rock, with spectacular views of Jabalpur from top. Difficult for elderly people to reach to top because of high steps made of huge rocks or concrete. Better to visit during rainy season or during winters as views are good from top.

If you crazy about historical place then you have to visit this place

Around 180 steps are their to climb this fort.It was the fort of rani durgawati of Gondwa Dynasty.The fort was not destroyed by the Britishers. It fell down, bcoz the life span was over & no maintenance or repairing was done by the Government. 2 caretakers are their above.If you are short of time than there is no need to visit this fort. Their is nothing their to Miss.Also you can see many lovebirds name written on the wall of the forts.Thats a shame for the country.

Rani durgavati fort which is made by rani dungavati in 11th century

It is a good spot to click photos as it situated in high altitude so the landscape is amazing... should visit this place...also there is no entry fees....

The fort is now scrap, local government should do maintenance of it, but still good one place for visit if you are doing nothing and having free time

Built by Rani Durgavati atop a hill, it was a checkpost used in the 11th Century AD, which now only the remains of the fortress.It has a temple of Lord Shiva also on its way to the fortress. The only way to reach the fortress is to climb around 200 stairs which can exhaust you. Except this, it a very nice and historic place which is now preserved by the Government of India, where you can hangout with your family on a cool and breazy day.

Heritage fort....👌

Very nice place for picnics in summer only when all the caves are open for public. Place is best for history lovers and lovers.

Historical fortress in Jabalpur located on a hilltop. You need to climb lot of stairs to reach there.

Old ruins of a watchtower with a great view over Jabalpur.

Its a good place for very small trekking.

Nice historic place but not maintained well. Fort is located at height so required you to climb around 70 to 80 steps.

Not a very well managed spot. Even this fort is not so big. And nothing much to visit here.

Very silent and quite place in the midst of the city of Jabalpur. The structure is just thrilling.Must visit.

Rani Durgawati Museum is a museum in Jabalpur city in Madhya Pradesh state of India. It was established in 1976. It houses a fine collection of sculptures, inscriptions and prehistoric relics. The museum is dedicated to the memory of the Queen Durgavati.

It’s historical place listed in reserve place of India. You can find one person there guarding this place. Easily accessible from Jabalpur railway station... ask for autos to take you fort they ask random numbers but it’s not far from station 6-7kms... should not charge more than 50 rupees... break your journey to avoid money loot.... it’s one time watch place as location provides very good view of the city and on the way you can see pond in between and some natural beautiful rocks with different shapes...

Very nice place

Nice place. Surrounding by balancing rock.

Great piece of art. Preserved monument. Has an historical background which says it was a watch tower during Rani Durgawatis reign. It has also got a place where horses were kept,a water well and meeting palace.

Rani Durgavati fort is small but enchanting fort of the Rajgond rulers. The fort is well associated with Rani Durgavati the Gond Queen and her son Veer Narayan.The monument is situated at a height of about five hundred meters on the hill of same name.As my opinion its fabulous if visitors visit in rainy season.

Grate architectsNice place to see this old architecture

The structure generates an aura of awe being compact and yet fully equipped for martial encounters. The stable, war rooms, small reservoir and main pleasure chamber of the rulers offer visitors much to see and admire...

This fort has approximately 200 or more steep steps. Elderly people may face problem in climbing so many stairs.

Low maintained heritage property

😀Beautiful place 🙏👸Rani durgavati fort 🏚️👌

Nothing much hereGaurd is very rude he thinks is above this world and doesnt know how to talk to tourist

One of the best places of jabalpur🤩

This ancient fort is one of the main tourist attractions

Rani Durgawati fort or Madan Mahal is actually a Watch tower. Youve to climb lots of stairs to see this. Its not well maintained. You can see the whole Jabalpur city from this place.

Madan Mahal Fort or Rani Durgavati fort is one of the top places to see In Jabalpur, Madan Mahal Fort is around 20Kms from Jabalpur city. This place is particularly good for trekking as well. The fort is very small but the beauty is that it is constructed on top of a natural rock, which is amazing one can have the view of city from the top of it. It’s very tough to go up to the Fort, itll take around 30mins and for aged and people with cardiac issue should not go there, many balancing rocks will be seen.Few temples are also visible there.The Madan Mahal Fort is constructed over the hill at the height of around 500 meters. The hill is also known as Madan Mahal hill. The fort is not like the other legendary architectural works in India but still it”s worth enough to see the structure of the fort. It tells about the history of the Gond Dynasty that had ruled the Jabalpur and its surrounding areas like Mandla. Being situated at a good height the view of the city of Jabalpur is fabulous.The structure of the fort includes the war room, main chamber for pleasure, stable and small reservoir. On the route of the Madan Mahan Fort there is a geological wonder known as Balancing Rock. It is a huge rock with a very small base. The beauty of the rock is that it is balancing over another rock as its base and the circumference area of the same is very small. The rock has weathered many climatic hazards like rains, sand storm etc. I am attaching some photographs so that you all can have a better idea of what I am exactly trying to say.

Ruins of a fort. Not well maintained but must visit. There is also a Shiva Temple and Mosque at this place.

Good place , but threre is nothing other than rocks. Just a structure through which whole jabalpur city can be seen.

It is a beautiful place, because of bad maintenance place is good for horror shooting there is also temple of shiva.

This is one of the oldest fort of rani durgawati which is situated on Top surrounded by Rocks and forest. And nice place to visit with natural beauty..
