Shahpura Bagh

Why we like Shahpura Bagh

After long car journeys and days full of sightseeing, this is the perfect place to take a breath during a tour of Rajasthan. During your stay visit Fort Dhikola, a romantic and glorious location with far-reaching views across the countryside. Feel the warmth in the air, watch the birds flying home to roost and listen to the gentle sounds of the village floating up from far below. We can organise a private candlelit dinner situated on one of the turrets.

Facilities

11 beautiful rooms, including huge Royal Suites and Luxury Villa Suites, are set in 45 acres of garden and pasture, surrounded by two lakes. Expect splashes of colour provided by handmade Kilms and old Kashmiri carpets, traditional white lime plaster floors and nostalgic family photography. Walking trails skirt the lakes, hammocks and charpoys are located at scenic spots to relax, read or watch the sunset.

There is a large heated pool, perfect to float in under the winter sun. Expect classic home cooking, all served in the ancestral dining room or on the shaded verandas. Get hands-on with a cookery lesson to recreate the classic Indian recipes at home. Shahpura Bagh is very much a family concern and they greatly enjoy chatting with guests.
