Alwar, India

An oasis among the rugged outcrops of the Aravalli mountain range, Amanbagh is a Rajasthani retreat informed by Mughal style. Just 90 minutes from Jaipur, the Bengal tiger sanctuary of Sariska National Park is a short drive away

Rajasthan’s dramatic history surrounds Amanbagh. Discover the remnants of an ancient empire in the picturesque city of Alwar, among the 17th-century fort and temple of Ajabgarh, and along centuries-old paths around Somsagar Lake

Whether by bike, on foot or by camel, the region around Amanbagh invites exploration. Temples and forts, such as the ruins of Bhangarh village, showcase its history; lakeside dinners, picnics and yoga sessions can also be arranged

A walled palace shaded by mature palm, fruit and eucalyptus trees, Amanbagh evokes the full grandeur of the Mughal era. Once the staging area for royal hunts, the resort’s sandstone and pink marble walls now offer tranquil refuge
