Rajasthan is famed for its deserts, colorful culture and a history of valor and sacrifice. Songs are still sung in honor of the many brave warriors of the Rajput clans who gave up their lives fighting for their kingdom. The city of Jodhpur, on the western part of the state, is a historical city full of the splendor of the magnificent Meherangarh Fort, the lovely Palaces of Umaid Bhawan and the Umaid Gardens laid out by maharaja Umaid Singh. Also worth a visit are the old havelis, or mansions, built by the merchant classes when trade on the busy silk route brought rich returns. The havelis, built on a scale smaller than the palaces, were opulent enough to be deemed mini palaces.

The Havelis around Jodhpur city offer accommodation on a scale smaller than the opulent palaces. However, it is here that you will be able to take in the details of Rajasthani life, as you interact with the family members still occupying a wing of the havelis. The "old faithful" retainer of stories comes to life here, as the trusted family friend who has devotedly served the family for ages and will serve you with the same dedication, in keeping with Rajasthan's tradition of honoring guests.

The Jhalamandgarh Palace was built in the 18th century. It lies on the Jodhpur-Udaipur highway, and is a member of the Heritage Association of India. Set in the idyllic rural setting of Jhalamandgarh village, the Hotel Jhalamandgarh - Standard Heritage Hotel is a perfect holiday destination as well as accommodation for guests. The guests are treated like part of the family during their stay, and get to participate in the functions and myriad customs of the family that presently resides and owns the Hotel Jhalamandgarh - Standard Heritage Hotel.

The Krishna Prakash - Standard Heritage Hotel is close to the airport at Jodhpur, and just 3 kilometers from the nearest railhead. Dating back to 1902, the Krishna Prakash Haveli is nestled amidst idyllic settings of the Rajasthani countryside.
