Neemrana Fort Alwar
Built since 1464 AD, Neemrana Fort-Palace is among India's oldest
heritage resorts. Neemrana became the third capital of the descendants
of Prithviraj Chauhan III, who was killed in battle by Mohammad Ghori
in 1192 AD. This picturesque site was chosen by Raja Rajdeo and Neemrana
derived its name from a brave local chieftain Nimola Meo, who when
defeated by the Chauhans, pleaded that his name be given to his lost
kingdom.
