Fort Khejarla

“Mount atop granite boulders, the Khejarla Fort rises like a sunbeam from the desert.”

Situated in a rural setting, the 400-year-old, Fort Khejarla offers guests an enlivening experience. The stunning red sandstone monument is a mesmerizing example of the architecture of the Rajputs. The rugged exterior contradicts an inner paradise with a striking blend of art and architecture leaving one with a magnificent aura! The spellbound grandeur of the Fort offers picturesque settings, latticework friezes, and intricate Jharokas that at once transports you back in time to experience the majesty of a long-gone era of valour and chivalry.

The historic structure amalgamates with the golden tint of the desert ambience and the scenic setting suns in its most vibrant shades giving it a fairy tale appearance. Situated in a quiet and serene setting, Khejarla Fort carries a deep history and offers guests all the charisma and grandeur of an exclusive royal experience.

Leased by Bhandari Heritage Pvt. Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Bhandari Exports, the gates of the majestic Fort Khejarla have now been opened for the tourist wishing to step back in time to share and experience the royal luxury and legacy. Bhandari Heritage Pvt. Ltd. took over the property 2 years back and meticulously renovated and restored it with modern, contemporary, and luxurious facilities without compromising the heritage touch. A new building has been added in the process and old structures were redesigned. The property has been developed with great care and love by the family.

The unique feature of the family – run hotel is that the hosts and the royal family reside within the Fort. Some of the staff are descendants of the noblemen who served the royal family for generations. Thus, guests are entitled to personalized and intimate service, along with royal pampering. The idea is to provide guests a home away from home.

Blending past elegance with modern day amenities, Fort Khejarla serves as one of the finest heritage hotels in Rajasthan. A stay at the Hotel is guaranteed to be an experience of a lifetime!

Heritage Temple Walk

Walk through the village to the 600 year old Temple of Goddess Durga (Goddess of War). History states that Aurangzeb, a Mughal from Delhi had tried to destroy it then. The best time to visit this temple is during sunset when you could climb up to the top and get a very good view of the landscape around.

Village Tour

Enjoy the village tour on camel cart which passes through the village lanes, to cenotaphs of the nobles of the ruling family of Khejarla. Later visit the Temple of Goddess Durga where you could experience a breathtaking sunset view.

Jeep Safari

Rajasthan is very popular for its vibrant and colourful customs, traditions, culture and heritage. It is also famous for its exotic desert and village landscapes. Safari is the best way to explore such a beautiful and versatile land. There are lots of safaris like camel, jeep, horse and elephant safaris to help us explore the natural, cultural and historical charm of this beautiful Rajasthan.

Jeep safari is the fastest way to explore the wonders of Khejarla and close by villages. A complete unique cultural experience, to bring you closer to the life of the villagers. Various customs and ceremonies are performed and can be experienced with the warmth and hospitality of Marwari people.

Enroute to villages one can see the desert wild life in abundance like Deers, Black Bucks, and Blue Bulls along with visit to the lake to see migratory birds. The tour also includes a visit to a step well, a horse breeding farm, the textile block printing mill and the old markets of Pipar town. On the way to safari visitors can see the craftsman on work, shepherds and farmers.

We can also arrange for camel safaris to nearby villages depending on the requirement of our guests. Each camel would be associated with an escort for the tour.

Heena

The art of Mehendi has existed for centuries. The exact place of its origin is difficult to track because of centuries of people in different cultures moving through the continents and taking their art forms with them and therefore sharing their art with everyone along the way.

Some historical evidence suggests that Mehendi started in India while others believe it was introduced to India during the twelfth century A.D.

In India no function or ceremony is complete without applying mehendi on hands and feet of women.

During wedding the bride's henna must be more beautiful and intricate than anyone else's of course since it is, after all, her special day.
