royal jodhpurretreats and Camps
jodhana heritage
J Jodhana Heritage Resorts is a hospitality venture
established by H.H. Maharaja Gaj Singh II of Jodhpur.
Jodhana’s Royal Jodhpur Retreats and Camps includes
an 18th century summer palace set in 300 acres
of beautifully landscaped gardens, a magnificent
art deco hunting lodge, a charming orchard retreat,
a traditional English country cottage and the
nomadic Royal Jodhpur tented camps that
blend the romance of the Marwar Maharajas’
safari camps with contemporary comforts.
Each of the Jodhana Heritage properties is a personal
vacation home of the Jodhpur Royal Family, who
ensure that the ambience is authentic, the comfort
level grand, and the experience truly royal.

A Mughal inspired palace and gardens where modern luxury blends effortlessly with Marwar heritage
Bal samand
BBal Samand is a world away from the hustle and bustle of
modern life. The lake was engineered in the 12th century but the
exquisite red sand-stone palace came later, built by Maharaja
Jaswant Singh I of Jodhpur in the 17th century, at the very zenith
of Rathore Rule under the umbrella of the Mughal Empire.
Set in a private estate of over 60 acres, with sprawling orchards
of lime and pomegranate, landscaped gardens are criss-crossed
by elegant waterways and an aqueduct. The palace, with its lovely
promenade on the lake, was always more than just a residence -
it’s a pleasure palace in the finest Mughal tradition.
In more recent times a tradition has developed with the Royal
Family celebrating the first rains at Bal Samand. This custom
has led to the palace being referred to as the Monsoon Palace.
But today, after the successful completion of an ambitious
restoration and modernization program Bal Samand is a palace
for all seasons and a world class heritage hotel with modern
amenities including a renowned health spa.

SBuilt on the banks of a beautiful lake by Maharaja Umaid Singh
in 1933, Sardar Samand Lake Palace is a magnificent art deco
hunting lodge. Even today it remains the Royal Family’s favourite
retreat and houses a vast collection of African trophies along with
original watercolours by Snaffles. The palace has its own Oriental
Garden, boat-house, swimming pool, tennis and squash courts
and its expansive grounds along the lake make for delightful
walks. The lake itself is a bird-watcher’s paradise.

TThe private property of the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Connaught
House was used in the 1930s and 40s by Jodhpur’s last
English Chief Minister, Sir Donald Field, when Mount Abu was
the summer capital of Rajputana. With an exquisite garden,
Connaught House has retained the ambience of its hill station
locale and is a perfect family retreat and an ideal base from which
to explore the forests and visit the sensational Delwara Jain
Temples. The beautiful Nakki Lake is only a short drive away.

MMaharani Bagh, meaning Queen’s Garden, was gifted by
Maharaja Takhat Singh of Jodhpur to his Maharani in the
19th century. Beautifully located at the foot of the thickly
forested Aravalli Hills that divide the former kingdoms of Jodhpur
and Udaipur, Maharani Bagh remains essentially a fruit orchard.
Acres of mango, lime, and pomegranate give way to clusters of
lovely cottages and intimate gardens. There is a machaan with
spectacular views of the hills and the central dining area is a
charming ‘village’ courtyard complete with thatched roofs and
delicious Rajasthani cuisine. The hills and forests around the
royal estate abound with wildlife. Wildboar, sambhar and
sloth bear are commonly sighted while the fortunate may get
a glimpse of the elusive and beautiful leopard.

TTented camps were set-up in the past for royal weddings, durbars,
hunting and safari expeditions. His Highness, the Maharaja of
Jodhpur wished to recreate the splendour of these royal camps
and, as a result, the first Royal Jodhpur Camp was created for the
Pushkar Festival. Camps at Jodhpur and Nagaur followed and have
proved to be such a success that they are now annual events.
The luxury tents are inspired by those from the old shikar or
hunting expeditions, used by the present Maharaja’s grandfather.
Great attention has been given to every detail in their design,
furniture and accessories as it has to creating the ambience of a
Royal Camp - the luxurious nostalgia of a bygone age, combined
with the utmost comfort and contemporary practicality.

The majestic architecture provides the most stunning places to celebrate
Each year, two highlights of our calendar are the Rajasthan
International Folk Festival (RIFF), held at Mehrangarh in Jodhpur and
the World Sufi Spirit Festival, which takes place at both Mehrangarh
and Ahhichatragarh in Nagaur.
Jodhpur RIFF, held for 5 days in October, brings together more than
250 musicians and performing artists from across Rajasthan and
around the world to celebrate their musical heritage and create new
sounds through innovative collaborations.
The World Sufi Spirit Festival, unique in India, welcomes the most
beautiful of sacred traditions from the Orient and Africa, while
showing off the wealth of Rajasthan’s traditional heritage.
