About About the place

Shikar Burj is a historical site in Bundi, Rajasthan, once used by the kings for hunting expeditions. The structure itself is a remnant of the Mughal era, and a painting depicting the burj can be found in the Chitrashala at Taragarh Fort. The site features a pond that was once frequented by tigers, providing a hunting opportunity for the royalty. While access inside the structure is restricted as it is now private property, visitors can view it from the outside and explore the surrounding area. The condition of the site is somewhat neglected, with reports of untidiness and a lack of clear signage.

Best season
