Shahpura Bagh

A stately home that exudes an air of understated luxury, Shahpura Bagh was originally part of the summer residence of the Shahpura rulers and provides guests with an unforgettable and intimate homestay experience. Set amongst an oasis of greenery, this gem of a hotel lies between Jaipur and Udaipur and is an excellent base from which to discover the delights of rural Rajasthan.

Accommodation at Shahpura Bagh is in nine spacious suites divided between two buildings – Nahar Niwas and Umed Niwas. Each individually designed suite is gracefully decorated using old Kashmiri carpets, antique artworks, and hand-made kilims and features oversized ensuite bathrooms fitted with modern amenities. Between the two residences is the home of your hosts, descendants of the former Shahpura rulers, and this is where meals are served for those who prefer indoor dining. Meals are usually a friendly communal affair where guests can mingle and dine with their hosts. However, private dining can also be arranged should you prefer greater privacy.

Shahpura Bagh has an outdoor swimming pool and several old-fashioned bicycles on which guests may discover the surrounding countryside, although the making of a stay at Shahpura Bagh is getting to know rural Rajasthan through taking advantage of some of the experiences that the owners have created; including sundowners at the Dhikola Fort; a picnic at the family farm; visiting a renowned phad (scroll painter) studio; as well as bird-watching safaris. Shahpura Bagh is closed during the summer months of May and June, and family members still live at Nahar Niwas.
