The fort presides like a grand old lady over the city/town of Gwalior. Man Mandir is stunning, and a local guide (who charged a quaint fee of Rupees 611) had excellent stories to tell. Avoid the sound & light show, just take a guide for your visit!

Ok, so if you are in city and have gone to Fort, you would get tickets to visit this place. The actual name of this is Sahastrabahu temple. Made by king to please both his wife and mother. Apart of the building there is nothing left there. All the idols have been destroyed and even the face of God on the wall have been broken, The only left what you see if the remainings. How beautiful this place would have been, can only be imagined. Remember there are no idols and hence this is no more a temple. No prayers or offerings are done here.

7. Jai Vilas Palace

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom
This building is a palace/museum that used to be the residence of the Maharaja of Gwalior. Apparently the descendants of the last Maharaja still live in the palace and that part is not open to the public. The palace is a nice example of Classicism and pavilions on the roof terraces of a mix of Indo-Islamic and Victorian styles. The interiors are an eclectic mix of European and Victorian styles, especially the silver train in the banquet room, drawing rooms and chandeliers. A beautiful building to visit. Although if you don't intend to visit the museum, you can just view the palace from the outside as well.

A late afternoon visit to Tigra was an awesome experience. Calm environment, nice landscape, water full of Crocs. Yes. Crocodiles. This place has boating options. Shorter trips to long distance motor boat ride. We opted for the full tour in motor boat. We went to the far reaches and the experience was breathtaking. We could see plenty of crocodiles in their natural habitat. We easily saw 15-16 crocodiles. The place also has a historical story behind it as well. Overall, had an amazing time. Definitely recommended.
