Located approximately 40 km from Sawai Madhopur, the Khandar Fort is an epitome of the rich culture and tradition of Rajasthan. With a significant historical background, the Khandar Fort was regarded as the "security post of Ranthambore" during the times of medieval India. It was during this time that the fort was under the rule of Sisodia kings of Mewar.
