GARH PALACE & RAO MADHO SINGH MUSEUM

Dominating Kota's skyline, Garh Palace was once the residence of the ruling dynasty. Its architecture spans various eras, with fortified walls, elegant chambers, and detailed murals. Inside the palace, the Rao Madho Singh Museum displays royal artifacts—miniature paintings, historical arms, ancient manuscripts—that tell the story of Kota's regal past.

KISHORE SAGAR LAKE & JAGMANDIR PALACE

Set in the middle of Kishore Sagar Lake is the serene Jagmandir Palace, built in the 18th century. The lake and palace are especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Boat rides, gentle walks along the lakeshore, and scenic views make this spot perfect for relaxing and photography.

CHAMBAL RIVERFRONT & CHAMBAL GARDEN

The Chambal Riverfront is a relatively recent addition to Kota's attractions. It stretches along the riverbanks with themed ghats, landscaped gardens, and promenades. Nearby, Chambal Garden offers boating, a suspension bridge, and a quiet spot for birdwatching and enjoying nature.
