Tips for Visiting Siddhartha Fort After a Late Afternoon Arrival

Annette Pandya · 2 weeks ago ·17 replies

Hi folks, I’ll be arriving at Siddhartha Fort around 4‑5 pm. The fort’s open 24 hours and entry is free, so I’d love to know the best way to spend the late afternoon and early evening there. Is there a particular spot, like the night illumination, that’s worth seeing after sunset? Also, if I want to stay nearby, any recommended accommodations close to the fort? Thanks!

After sunset the main gate area lights up nicely and the old watchtowers give a good silhouette against the sky. A short walk down the fort’s eastern rampart lets you see the moonrise over the city. If you want to stay close, Townhouse OAK Hotel C Pearls in Bahadurgarh is only about seven kilometres away and offers a quick drop off from the fort.

If you’re staying near the fort, a good spot after sunset is the main gate where the lamps light up and you can see the city lights spread out. It’s a quiet place to sit and watch the sky. Does anyone know if there’s a nearby cafe open that late?

You could head straight to the main gate right after sunset the lanterns there light up the whole courtyard and give a nice contrast to the darkened walls. A short walk down the eastern rampart then lets you see the city lights spread out over the plains. If you want to stay nearby, Townhouse OAK Hotel C Pearls in Bahadurgarh is about seven kilometres away and has a convenient drop off from the fort.

The main gate lights up around sunset, but a better spot is the watchtower on the western wall it gives a 360° view of the illuminated fort and the city beyond. If you’re staying, the Townhouse OAK Hotel C Pearls in Bahadurgarh is only a 10 minute drive and has a nice terrace where you can enjoy the evening glow.

The western watchtower lights up a bit earlier than the main gate, so if you arrive around 4 5 pm you can catch the lanterns flare up there before heading down to the eastern rampart for the city view. After that, a quick walk back to the fort’s main gate lets you enjoy the full glow of the courtyard. If you want to stay close, Townhouse OAK Hotel C Pearls in Bahadurgarh is just over seven kilometres away and offers a nice terrace for evening views.

From the top you get a full 360 degree view of the illuminated walls and the city lights below.
