Rawla Narlai is a charming heritage hotel, set at the foot of a great mystical rock in the Aravalli hills near Ranakpur. Once a 17th-century hunting lodge for the Jodhpur Royal Family who still own the property, it’s now beautifully renovated to provide its guests a luxurious stay and a first-hand experience of rural Rajasthan. Situated midway between the cities of Jodhpur and Udaipur, it provides a perfect base from which to explore the nearby Ranakpur temples and Kumbhalgarh fort.
Housed within this ancient property and a modern annexe, Rawla Narlai offers 32 luxurious rooms and suites. All are individually decorated with antique or period style furniture, intricate tiles or polished cement floors covered with colourful rugs, comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms, some with tubs. Expect delicious meals focussing on traditional Rajasthani cuisine served in the inner courtyard, blooming with frangipani and brilliant pink bougainvillea.
Set between Jodhpur and Udaipur, Rawla Narlai (meaning a villa in Narlai) is a perfect base for a stopover while travelling between the two cities or a pleasant place to spend a few days and relax and unwind. In the surrounds is a huge granite rock dome with a Shiva’s cave temple and guests can climb to the top, where there is an elephant monument. Interesting sites in the surrounds include the 15th-century Kumbhalgarh Fort and Ranakpur's Jain temples.
