I am just back from a Rajasthan work visit – we added
some fun to it. This is the second part of a blog series on Rajasthan.
Last week we were In Ranakpur on a 2 night work trip. Who
visits Ranakpur? Tourists to see the 15th century Jain temples
and/or Kumbalgarh Fort.
The client booked us into Ranakpur Hill Resort www.ranakpurhillresort.com saying its “cheap and
cheerful” so wasn’t sure what to expect.
The resort surpassed my expectations and how…
A lovely resort 2 notches above basic, well maintained. Service with a
smile. Buffet breakfast in the restaurant which is included in the price
What made it special is the feeling of space and greenery - the lawns,
the vegetable garden, the secluded pool area, the greenery, visiting
peacocks and stables nearby where one
can go riding…
We had afternoon tea on the lawns… and a bonfire and dinner here too,
right under the starlit sky.. quite magical
The rooms were better than basic, clean and modern with a high ceiling.
Had a fridge, a small dressing area and window seat. White walls adorned by
Rajasthani stone and mirror inlaid work.
The modern spacious bathroom provided hot water both morning and night. One
morning I did have to let the water run a bit…
Breakfast was a buffet in the restaurant: prepared egg (hard boiled one
morning and bhurji the next) puri bhaji once, idli sambar the next, banana,
toast, butter, jam and cornflakes. With tea /coffee. Somewhat basic and no
frills attached but was good to get this
at 7 am on a cool morning ….ready when you walk into the dining room.
Dinner of Lal maas, roti and other local delicacies was excellent.
Given that this resort is half the cost of others nearby if you want good value in Ranakpur, this is it. If you
want luxury and something special, opt for the WelcomHeritage Maharani Bagh
Orchard Retreat, Ranakpur.
