About Gwalior

‘The pearl amongst the fortresses of India’ or so it was lovingly described by the Mughal Emperor Babur, Gwalior is a medieval masterpiece. Falling under the rule of several kingdoms over the years, from the Tomars to the Mughals; the Marathas to the Scindias, this hilltop fort displays its colourful history with pride. Our pick of the best places to stay in Gwalior provide both luxury and character and are perfect bases for wider exploring.

Just 319km from Delhi, it makes for an interesting stop over en-route to the sights and nature reserves of Madhya Pradesh. For the best weather and a more forgiving climate opt to visit between the months of October and March.

As well as a walk around Gwalior Fort a visit to Jai Vilas Palace built in 1874 by Maharaja Jayajirao is a lesson in unrestrained luxury.
