Introducing Gwalior
Gwalior is famous for its medieval hilltop fort, described by the Mughal emperor Babur as ‘the pearl amongst fortresses in India’. For travellers making a detour from the Golden Triangle, the slow-paced town sprawling around the hill is a good introduction to an un-touristy part of central India. Jai Vilas Palace, home of the Scindia Museum, is the historic seat of the Scindias, one of the country’s most revered families.
