- [Narrator] Judging by the grandness
and length of this wall, you could be forgiven
for thinking that it's in China,
but this is the Great Wall of India.

The Kumbhalgarh Wall is located in Rajasthan,
roughly a 10-hour drive from New Delhi.
Its remoteness has caused this stunning location
to be relatively unknown, even to locals.
The wall is made of thousands of stone bricks
with artistic flourishes on top.
It has seven gateways and took over a century to construct.
It was a place of refuge in times of danger.
The wall snakes through valleys and along mountaintops.
After the Great Wall of China,
it is the second longest continuous wall in the world.
It is 22 miles in length and surrounds
the fort of over 300 ancient temples that
were believed to have been built in the fifteenth century.
In 2013 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A majority of the wall sits high,
serving as a lookout and giving incredible views
of the surrounding mountains and farmlands,
unlike anywhere else in India.
