Jodhpur the famous blue city of India, better known as India’s Sun City, looks very unassuming from afar. It is the home to the worlds most beautiful palace Hotel – the Umaid Bhawan palace. It is the perfect stay for those who would like to relive the life of kings and walk in their ancient footstep. From a beautifully created regal welcome with a waterfall of flower petals scented with the sandal wood paste applied on your forehead to welcome you, to the resounding foot tapping performance of the ghoomar dancers, the palace transports you to a world beyond dreams.
Enjoy a peaceful drink in the lush sprawling gardens or curate with us a beautiful performance with matching cuisine in the palace fountain courtyard. For those who like an active day enjoy polo in your very own private stand beside the nobles and princes of the city.
Traverse the city to reach Meherangarh where another cheery welcome with horses and local performers awaits to take you into the world of the kings of Marwar, rich after fighting many battles, whose booty adorned the walls of this bespoke majestic fort. Walk the talk with a special museum curator and famous historian in these parts for a private tour of the unseen parts of the fort minus the overwhelming crowds. Then drive down to the gardens set up magically for you and your friends to enjoy a contemporary private concert followed by the Marwari hospitality, which leaves the palette wanting for more.
The day takes you to the beautiful yet stark village of the Bishnoi farmer and herder. These people have not changed their ancient lifestyles for modern comfort. Spend the day in their parts shooting wildlife through your lens only, as these are the tribes known to protect and preserve wildlife in these parts without exception. Come back to the comfort of your thatched dining hall to sample simple local village cuisine while playing local games that challenge mind and sinew in equal measure.
Dine thereafter at the beautiful boutique hotel Raas on the terrace with views of the Meherangarh. Enjoy international cuisine with local contemporary flavor and unimaginable vistas in the midst of the narrow city lanes.
To curate a trip in unspoken luxury comfort with authentic local flavor but western comfort and style, dare to brave a journey with us to parts often visited but rarely savoured in true regal spirit.
