Mihirgarh

Near Jodhpur

Nine suites in a fort that was built, from scratch, in 2009.

The place

A fort in the Thar with no history at all — the Rohet family built it this century, in the old way, out of mud and lime. Nine enormous suites, most with a plunge pool, and Marwari horses in the stables. Riding here is the best in Rajasthan and the reason a lot of people come.

What is there

  • Nine suites, most with private plunge pools
  • Marwari horse riding
  • Royal picnics out in the desert
  • Pool
  • Village visits with the family
  • Utterly quiet

Getting there
