The Vibe:An abandoned town, closed at sunset.
A seventeenth-century fortified town in the Aravalli hills, abandoned centuries ago and left as ruins. Its reputation as India's most haunted site draws more visitors than its architecture does.
Ruined temples, markets and havelis stand roofless along a dry valley floor. The silence is genuine, broken mostly by langurs in the trees.
