Samode Palace - The winner of the award for the best Heritage hotel
in the country, for 5 consecutive years, the Palace has been meticulously
restored offering a retreat into an aesthetically beautiful environment
where visitors can enjoy India's natural beauty and rich history. An evening
at Samode is a magical experience of former princely India and part of an
ongoing tradition.
Samode Bagh or walled garden in a sprawling 10 acres was an oasis set
among the dry rugged expanses of an ochre desert. Today it rediscovers
some of its lost splendour of a garden paradise. Shrubs of Lemon, Orange,
Hibiscus, Pomegranate, Jasmine Lantana and a beautiful array of flowering
& shade trees have been meticulously planted. Surviving the years,
a majestic central pavilion containing a "bath" stands silently
surrounded by "baradaris' or small open pavilions, sparkling fountains
& mughal water channels

This
afternoon is spent exploring the village of Samode through its narrow alleys
and streets. Wandering through the village streets will give you a wonderful
insight to an unchanged Rajasthan. Overnight at hotel
