It is a formidable fort having been a prime focus of the historic developments of Rajasthan. The fort was held by the Chahamanas (Chauhans) till the 13th century, when the Delhi Sultanate captured it.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, at the 37th session of the World Heritage Committee, Ranthambore Fort, along with 5 other forts of Rajasthan, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the group Hill Forts of Rajasthan.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>History of Ranthambore Fort<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Ranthambore fort was built by a Chauhan ruler, although the specific name of the ruler is disputed. A widely held belief states that the fort was built the reign of Sapaldaksha, in 944 CE. Another theory states that the fort was built during the reign of Jayant, in 1110 CE. According to Government of Rajasthan&#8217;s Amber Development &amp; Management Authority, it is likely that the construction started in the mid-10th century during the reign of Sapaldaksha, and continued a few centuries after that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/rajasthan-tour-packages\"><strong>Book Rajasthan Tour Packages with Swan Tours<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3102\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3102\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3102\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ranthambore-Fort-View.jpg\" alt=\"Ranthambore Fort\" width=\"780\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ranthambore-Fort-View.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ranthambore-Fort-View-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ranthambore-Fort-View-768x594.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.swantour.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Ranthambore-Fort-View-585x452.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ranthambore Fort<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>How To Reach Ranthambore Fort<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For the travelers travelling by air, they can land at the Jaipur (Sanganer) airport where the fort is about 180 km away.
