Constructed in 1464 A.D. by Rao Rajdeo, it is, perhaps the oldest heritage resort in India. the property covers 25 acres of land and the palace span five levels of construction which cut into the hill. Along the southern ramparts, the recently laid hanging garden, add to the rugged beauty of this fort-palace.
Restored painstakingly to its former glory, the fort has some beautiful suites furnished in an electric mixture of traditional Indian and colonial furnitures. Most of these suites and rooms have their own private balconies and terraces, which offer panoramic vistas. The bathrooms too look down on the country below. Some interesting rooms here are Hawa Mahal, Barsat Mahal, Mata Mahal, Sheesh Mahal, and Surya Mahal. The Panch Mahal restaurant is an elegantly furnished room serving continental cuisine as well as traditional Rajasthani Meals.
Special Feature: The eleven-storey stepwell built in the 18th century, located very close to the palace, is an architectural marvel. It has arched passages running along three sides of the well.
Facilities available: 35 rooms, a restaurant & conference hall.
