Alila means “surprise” in Sanskrit, and you can expect many of those during your stay. Beginning with the fact that your 5-star boutique hotel is actually a 230-year old fortress! Rajasthan is famous for its spectacular hill forts, many crowded with tourists all year long. Luckily, you can get a piece of the region’s history all to yourself and stay in a restored Fort Bishangarh (an hour away from Jaipur).
The fort has a truly royal feel from the moment you enter. Think marble, painted arched windows, and exotic wood. All rooms have stunning views of the valley and are perfectly designed, so there are no bad choices here. If you want to channel your inner maharaja, go for the Regal Suite, which features an oversized round bathtub and a lounge area.
Relaxing by the pool is tempting, but the hotel has much more to offer! The concierge team will prepare bespoke tours of Bishangarh and the nearby sights for you. So whether you’re interested in local culture, spirituality, or hiking across the Aravalli hills, you’ll find that Rajasthan has everything you want and more.
At the fort itself, you can join cooking classes to master the Indian spices (if you can handle the heat!) or enjoy a full-day relaxation that starts with sunrise yoga and ends with a pamper session at the spa.
Forts in Rajasthan reminds tourists of royalty and bravery, of epic battles and valiant heroes & when battles were fought, sacrifice and brutality came along, and sorrow and death were not far behind. All these battles were fought to capture the hill forts of Rajasthan. If you paint a mental picture of what Rajasthan stands for, the hill forts will immediately flash before your eyes as powerful remnants of these long fought wars and battles. The hill forts were the first structures that were built by powerful Rajput kings, for protecting their kingdoms from enemy attacks was their first priority. Their elevated positions above rugged hills gave them an edge over enemies, & allowed them to monitor their surroundings. These were not small forts by any means, but massive structures, powerful enough to withstand cannonballs & fireballs & large enough to accommodate large armies. They were not only meant for defence, but their strategic location allowed them to control trade activities, & also served as royal residences, where kings & his families lived, along with ministers. You will find these hill forts at innumerable places in Rajasthan, & some of them are so magnificent that they have earned them a place in the prestigious list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
