贡珀尔格尔长城沿着阿拉瓦利山岭蜿蜒32.2 km（超过20 mi）。城墙在山顶的部分海拔1.1 km（3 500 ft），从那里可以遥望西边塔尔沙漠的沙丘。5 m厚的巨大城墙后面有超过300座印度教和耆那教神庙。通过七座纪念性的大门可以通往上层。这座15世纪的纪念性建筑充满了宗教传说和民间传说，因此对印度人民来说，除了建筑本身之外，它还有着非常特殊的意义。

The great stone wall of Kumbhalgarh snakes along the Arāvalli Range for over 20 miles. From the fort’s hilltop location elevation of 3 500 feet above sea level, the sand dunes of the Thar Desert are visible far to the west. Over 300 Hindu and Jain temples lie behind the massive 5 meter thick frontal walls. The upper level is accessed through seven monumental gateways. Steeped in religious legends and folklore, this 15th Century monument has a very special significance beyond its architecture to the people of India.
