Find Hotels in Phalodi, India

"We booked this hotel as it seemed like the only hygienic option to stay in Phalodi so that we could go to Kichan to see the Demoiselle cranes at sunrise the next morning. We're two backpackers and this hotel was a real treat for us, and more than lived up to expectations of what a heritage haveli should look like. Having said that we don't normally stay in places in this price range so don't have much to compare it to. We were upgraded to a suite on arrival which was enormous and the food that we had at the restaurant was very tasty and quite a bit cheaper than several cheap guesthouses we've stayed at. We even had a chance to swim in the pool afterrour bird watching, and the pool was very clean albeit freezing. The staff were exceptionally helpful in organising us a rickshaw who would pick us up at 6.30am to take us to Kichan and gave us the name of the local man who is helping in conservation of the birds. We sat on his roof until about 11 am watching the birds fly in overhead from about 7am and then feeding from 9.45 am that morning. The timing of the birds changes with the time of sunrise, but you should allow about 4 hours if you want to see arrival, feeding and departure of the birds. Dev organised a rickshaw back for us and then we were allowed a late check out at no extra charge."
