Located at 2750 above the sea level at 35 kms to Udaipur's northwest, Gogunda commands many routes and has played an important role in Mewar’s history. For example, it was Pratap’s marshalling ground on the eve of the battle of Haldighati and it was here that Amar Singh at last, after a long and valiant struggle, submitted to the might of the Mughal empire in 1615 A.D. ‘And then as I started, I knew that my golden kingdom had been shaken to dusty by this relentless earthquake, ‘says the Rana in D.L.Roy’s ‘Fall of Mewar’.

Gogunda has many temples and can be seen as a typical, feudal, country seat of power, of a period gone by.

From Gogunda lead the routes to the south, to the Bhil country, to the west, to Sirohi, to the northwest to Ranakpur and to the north of Kelwara, the gateway for Kumbhalgarh. About 25 kms to the north of Gogunda is the Jarga peak, where the Aravallis attain a height of 4315’.
