DESCRIPTION
Four centuries of Mewar heritage amid the Aravalli hills.
Set amid the Aravalli hills near Udaipur, The Shikargarh Palace invites you to experience Rajasthan at a gentler, more personal pace. With a history tracing back approximately 400 years to a royal hunting lodge of the Mewar family, this heritage retreat brings together the romance of palace living and the comfort of a welcoming stay.
Carved stone columns, graceful arches, domed pavilions and fountain courtyards give the palace its distinctive character. Inside, richly detailed furniture, framed paintings, patterned floors and colourful sitting corners create spaces that encourage you to linger. Its 14 bedrooms offer restful accommodation, while the shared dining room, lounges, garden verandahs and swimming pool provide inviting settings for time together.
Begin the day with a leisurely meal beside the garden, spend the afternoon between a shaded pavilion and the pool, and watch the palace glow as evening settles over its courtyards. For guests seeking a little more adventure or celebration, experiences such as jungle safaris, horse riding, candlelight dining, folk performances and bonfire evenings can be arranged in advance, subject to availability and applicable charges.
Whether you are planning a romantic escape, a family holiday or a gathering with friends, Shikargarh Palace offers a memorable blend of heritage, hospitality and unhurried moments.
