 Alwar: Tourist attractions around Bharatpur
Alwar is at a distance of 116 km from Bharatpur. Though the city is regarded as the gateway to the royal state of Rajasthan, it has a legacy more powerful than that. There are many tourist attractions in the city that reflect the glorious Rajput history of the place. The main attraction of Alwar are the Bala Quila and the City Palace complex. There is a lake beside the City Palace, as well as a government museum and the tomb of Tarang Sultan.
Deeg: Tourist attractions around Bharatpur
Situated 32 km north-west of Bharatpur on the way to Alwar, Deeg was once the favourite summer resort and second capital of Bharatpur state. As towns go, Deeg is not much of a place, being small and dusty and primarily agricultural. But it has a past worthy of note. Built as a holiday resort by the Jat rulers of Bharatpur, Deeg has a fort with all of twelve bastions. The largest of these, Lakha Burj, is still mounted with a cannon. But more than the fort, Deeg is not to be missed for the excellent sense of balance with which its palaces and gardens have been laid out.
Mahaban: Tourist attractions around Bharatpur
A part of Brajbhoomi, Mahaban (approximately 35 km) is the place where, according to legends, Lord Krishna spend most of his youth. A major attraction of Mahaban is the Palace of Nanda, Krishna's foster-father, which is believed to contain Krishna's actual cradle.
