Fort Chanwa of Luni is an exceptional example of Indian architecture, carved in famous red sandstone of Jodhpur. This fort is considered as an architectural masterpiece. It has beautifully designed complex of courtyards, towers, waterwheels, passages and panoramic rooftops. The fort has been converted into a heritage hotel; it still remains an obscure but a ‘must-see’ tourist destination.
