Spread across the erstwhile princely state of Rajasthan are a large number of smaller forts, palaces, castles, aristocratic homes and havelis that were once home to families that ruled over India. With the passage of time many of these magnificent properties were in danger of falling to ruin as the erstwhile royal families were unable to maintain their homes.
With their recent conversion into hotels, the former royal residences have acquired a new lease of life. By staying in these heritage hotels we help to ensure that these properties continue to be maintained in a befitting manner, and that a way of living that was losing ground to the 21st century, has been preserved for a little while longer.
As much as the families, the family retainers whose ancestors once served within these royal homes, have continued to find employment. And a slice of history that would otherwise have been irretrievably lost, continues to survive. With one major difference: You too can now be a part of it!


We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
