Ravla Bhenswara Hotel

Fabulous exeperience overall. Lovely heritage property, warm hospitality and sumptuous food! The night safari is a must do too.

Not a typical hotel..amazing management and even better food. Truly a memorable experience .

We chose this a little out of the way place (we had our own driver so that was handy) and we thought this place was delightful and close to a nearby local village we visited and the wildlife national park. Highly recommended

After the unavoidable long drive to Bhenswara you'll pull into this town, up to the Palace gates you might worry, "Good Lord, what I have I gotten myself into?" Fear not. It's fantastic. The owner is very nice man who clearly takes a great deal of pride in his families palace and history in the town. He told us the story of it's renovation and how many of his family members have been married right in the courtyard. They essentially rent out rooms to keep the place maintained running and in the family. The manager is a very nice young man who did an excellent job taking care of our needs and making any arrangements. The gin and tonics were prompt and cold. The rooms were nice and comfortably warm even during the coldest Rajasthan had been in 40 years. Bring entertainment. There is no internet at all and no TV. My kids absolutely loved the place. They will never ever forget finding little nooks to hide out in, every single roof top to conquer and massive friendly labrador retrievers to play with. We also went on the safari, which was quite a lot of fun and we got sot see some very small Indian villages and meet people we never would have otherwise. There is little to do in town. We stayed 4 nights and decided to leave early because my son was sick and we needed a real doctor. Do not go to the doctor in Ahore (the closest town 2km away). He is a joke. We gave us laxatives instead of anti-nausea medication The hotel will provide you with transpiration to the hotel. We chose to hire our own driver which was a mistake. It took us an extra 3 hours to get there because our driver never took the time to clearly look at the address. The Haritiage Palace is 120 km south of Jodhpur city.

Very nice oasis - not cheap but worth a day or 2. Try to visit Ahore for a wander round and meet the locals
