Ranvas Nagaur

Considered one of the best-preserved fort resorts in the world, Ranvas Nagaur is a heritage hotel whose first structures were built as early as the fourth century.

A recipient of the UNESCO Asia Pacific Award for Culture Heritage Conservation, the hotel offers travellers a royal experience in 27 aesthetically decorated rooms. Styled after traditional havelis or mansions, these accommodations reflect the surroundings and feature beautiful arched entryways, solid stone pillars, and handcrafted wooden furniture. Enjoy mornings in your private sit-outs with peacocks paying you a surprise visit. Experience meals in the most blissful settings - hearty breakfasts in the open courtyard, sundowners by the fort ramparts and enchanting dinners surrounded by lanterns. Learn about the region's rich history on heritage walks and tuk-tuk tours to historical attractions such as the Bansiwala temple, Amar Singh Ji's cenotaphs and the Sufi mosque. Visitors can also get an insight into the region's culture on guided visits to local artisan shops and centres; the artisans here are known for their expertise in shoe making, clay crafts, and rug making. Jeep safaris and camel cart rides are also great ways to spend a lazy afternoon, after which you can jump into the outdoor pool to relax and refresh.
