Better known as “The Tiger Gate” of Rajasthan, it has a perfect picture postcard setting and looks as if carved magnificently out of rocks. Once an ancient Rajput state, formerly known as Mewar, Alwar was nearest to the Imperial Delhi. Paradoxically Alwar is both the oldest and the newest of the Rajput Kingdoms of Rajasthan. In 1771 A.D. Maharaja Pratap Singh, a Kuchhwaha Rajput belonging to the clan of Jaipur's rulers, won back Alwar and founded a principality of his own. Apart from its long history, the city has a rich natural heritage with some beautiful lakes and picturesque valley thickly wooded in parts.
It is located 150km from Jaipur and 170km from Delhi. Alwar is nestled between a cluster of small hills of the Aravali range.
