From last few years whenever I tried to ask Google to help me out with a weekend trip, Bhangarh Fort was always there. Stories of it being haunted gave me goosebumps. After reading several stories and watching numerous videos, I decided to visit and have first hand experience of how Haunted it can be.
30th November 6 AM
As per Google maps total distance from my home in Gurgaon to Bhangarh Fort is 244 Kms (4 hrs 22 mins) and the route is
Gurgaon - Manesar - Bhiwadi - Bawal - Neemrana - Shahpura - Aandhi - Sainthal - Bhangarh
I left at 6:30 am with a target to be at the haunted palace by 11:00. Due to my early start and pandemic there was almost no traffic on the roads. Drive was so easy and enjoyable that I didn't took any stoppage for tea or whatever and before I knew I was at my destination at 10:15 am.
Entry Fee for Indians - INR 20 (Digital payment only)
To be very honest, I didn't find it haunted at all. Yes it was a bit spooky but I wasn't scared at all. Seeing so many building without roof surely gives you a goose bump or two. But that doesn't makes it haunted or scary.
But having said that I was happy to be here to enjoy the landscape. Learned a bit about our history and admired the beautiful architecture of fort and the temples inside it.
