Science Heritage Walk — Chittorgarh Fort

A guided walk through the fort's water systems, read as engineering rather than folklore.

About this event

Chittorgarh's reservoir and catchment system kept a hilltop fort supplied through long sieges. This walk treats it as the engineering problem it was.

Roughly four kilometres over uneven ground with some climbing. Sun protection and proper footwear are essential.

Open to members and their families; children over ten are welcome.
